After more than 100 days' waiting and 4 times visiting Embassy in beijing,
I finally get the visa this morning. I gave my experience here, wish it
will be helpful for all friends who still in the checking.
I came back Beijing last December 20, and made an appointment on Jan 6 (I
called them too later), but my hometown is in Hubei, so I have to go back
home andthen back to BJ on Jan 5.
On Jan 6, the VO just asked me some simple question, then ask me what's my
research field, then told me that they need do a security checking (my
major is CS). Then I faced a long long waiting. During the waiting, I
called them many times, my school faxed them 3 or 4 times, my friends in US
called DOS many times(not very useful, sometime they told me cannot find
my file), no any positive response, after 3 month, they even told me I'm
applying a B1 visa!!!The waiting is so boring, so I went to GuangZhou and
ShenZhen to see my friends. My friend invited me to join his startup
company.I hesitated for some days, when finally I decide to work in his
company, the call is coming on 4/17 (do remember the name who informed
you).In the most dangerous SAR days in beijing, I took train to Beijing on
4/24, and go to Embassy immediately. Since my name is on the name list, I
entered embassy without any problem. but the VO told me they need new I-20
form and then gave me a lot of documents(don't take it).
My school mailed me the new I-20 form quickly, then i went there yesterday
(4/29), but this time my name is not on the list, so the guard didn't allow
me get in, I called them, the VO said that they cannot find my file (they
gave themto me wrongly!) and in their computer my case is still pending!!!
They even questioned me "who informed you". I told them, then they said,
she is not there and asked me come back next day. I called them this
morning again, the miss who informed me found out what's wrong and asked me
go there this moring. This time I just turned in all materialwith new i-
20, without interview, I got the visa quickly.Too many comments want to
say, but I have no feeling after this long time waiting. Finally, I want
to say thanks to all people who built this group and 水木清华签证版. They
provide me a lot information and help me a lot. also I wish all friends who
is still in the checking can get their visa soon. don't give up, do
whatever you want in the waiting time.
One more comment, US Embassy didn't suspend the visa application, this
moring I saw a F1 student got visa in his first time.
