t: 翻译mm给我一个绿单子,说会通知我的
m: Thank you Sir. (冲翻译mm点点头,退场)
8月18日下午,拿到签证.
总结一句: 上海比北京好得多得多,能在上海签就不要去北京了.因为上海的签证官比较熟悉江浙一代的生意,他们理解中国的资金运作方式.还有,最重要的是,上海签证虽然是用英语回答,但是签证官的问话却是由翻译mm用中文传达的.你大可以把所有心思放在回答上.
再总结一句: 虽然签证时间可能很短,但是一定要考虑到方方面面的问题,比如我在北京的时候就说一个哥们因为收入证明上把长春写成了chanchun,而被拒签的
还来总结一句: 签证,不只是一件事情,它是个工程,涉及到服装,发型,英语,经济,金融,饮食,交际等等各个方面
最后总结一句: 把所有的资料都准备翻译件.当然一些辅助证明不要了,比如营业执照.
建议: 二签,我找了上海的中介,让他们帮我准备签证的材料和签证的培训.这里提一下华申中介的杨世伟杨老师,他对签证官的心理揣摩得很透.他给我准备的针对我的资料的问题答案,签证官无一超出.使我当时虽然很紧张,但是却能沉着对付.
英国签证,总的来说还是很容易的.但是这是针对个案的.也许有哥们儿会认为我上面说的一些话夸大其词了.但是这种事情签过了,那就简单;没签过,那就是很难很难的事了.我想还是认真点为妙.我把老底都揭了,希望各位后来人能有些借鉴,因为我的案例实在很特殊。
