Your question involves Immigrant Visas. The best resource for immigrant visa questions is the Guangzhou website at http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn/immigrant_visas.html . Good luck in your queries. 04-03-2007 01:55:56Wendy2: How to apply a business visa scucessfully for second time with the premise of refusal at first time, a girl unmarried. But there are company guarantee,family guarantee and my bank certificate. Thanks a lot and I will be highly appreciated if there is a reply.桑德拉•拉巴奇: To receive a visa for business travel, one must meet the requirements of the Immigration and Naturalization Act section 214B. That section requires all applicants to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent. One can overcome the presumption of immigrant intent by showing substantial ties to your country and demonstrating legitimate business travel. If you have been refused once, and if you feel you were not able to convey your substantial ties and legitimate business travel, be very prepared for your next interview. If you don’t succeed this time, remember a refusal is temporary and in the future as you develop more ties to your country you may become eligible. 04-03-2007 01:58:21renhongrenhong: I get an offer from an American University,and my husband would like to accompany me to America.Therefor, we want to apply for the Visa together.But when I ask the University to send the I-20 for him and me.They replied as follows "We can only provide an I-20 for students that we are admitting. We can add him to your I-20, but cannot provide him with his own because he is not one of our students. " In such condition, can we still apply for Visa together? Thank you very much.桑德拉•拉巴奇: The school should provide an I-20 for your husband. It may only have his name on the form with you listed as the primary, but that is okay. You are both welcome to come in together, work with your school to be certain you receive the appropriate documentation. Good luck.04-03-2007 02:07:24Katie83: I am just admitted by Marshall School of Business in USC, a good University, but I changed my job for three time during 2 years, is it a disadvantage? Thank you!桑德拉•拉巴奇: Student still must overcome the presumption of immigrant intent, however, we also look to the school you are going to, your qualifications as a viable student, and your ability to pay or fund the intended education. I don't think changing your jobs 3 times in 2 years will greatly change your chances of obtaining a visa. Just be honest with the visa officer, if you try and omit something on your visa application, it is considered misrepresentation and will definitely impact your chances of getting a visa. 04-03-2007 02:10:53learner77: what is acceptable "usual documents to show my ties to my home country?"桑德拉•拉巴奇: For every person that answer is different. The best way to think of this question is "why would I come home". Your job, your family, your assets, etc. Next, think of what you have to substantiate the reasons you would come home after a temporary visit to the US. How do you substantiate your job, your family, your bank accounts, your stocks, your animals, etc.? Bring in everything you have and be ready to explain your situation. 04-03-2007 02:11:31coco2: 签证官：您好！我是一名大四毕业生，今年七月将毕业，我很有幸得到以对美国夫妇的资助，去美国的一个语言机构学习英语，学校不要求学分，也不需要任何英语 成绩, 我是否需要去考托福或雅思呢？ 这是签证必须要的吗？我将得到这对夫妇的全额资助，和他们吃住都在一起，学习一年，并由他们出具经济担保，但是我的家庭条件不好，父母没有多少存款，也没 钱供我去美国读书，那么象我这种情况的签证通过率高吗？还是根本没有机会？谢谢！ 桑德拉•拉巴奇: One is not required to take the TOEFL test or any other test to receive a visa. If your language program requires those tests, we may ask to see your results only to substantiate your qualifications as a student. You will, however, still be required to show your I-20, demonstrate your acceptance into the program, your ties to your country and how you will pay for the education. Good luck in your English studies. 要得到签证,申请人无须通过托福或其它英语考试。如果您的语言项目要求您通过此类考试，签证官可能会请您出示相关考试的成绩，主要是为了证明您是一位合格 的学生。在面谈时，您必须出示的有I-20表，证明您被该学习项目录取的通知书，您在中国有牢固约束力的证明，以及您如何支付学习费用的证明。祝您学习顺 利。 04-03-2007 02:12:09Katie83: hi ma'am, I changed my job for three time in 2 years, is it a disadvantage when I apply for my F1 visa?桑德拉•拉巴奇: See response above. 04-03-2007 02:16:35Katie83: Thank you so much for the response. (Sandra, I don't think that you should post this, but I wanted to let you know that your responses are appreciated)
04-03-2007 02:19:38renhongrenhong: I get an offer from an American University,and my husband would like to accompany me to America.Therefor, we want to apply for the Visa together.But when I ask the University to send the I-20 for him and me.They replied as follows "We can only provide an I-20 for students that we are admitting. We can add him to your I-20, but cannot provide him with his own because he is not one of our students. " In such condition, can we still apply for Visa together? Thank you very much.桑德拉•拉巴奇: The school should provide an I-20 for your husband. It may only have his name on the form with you listed as the primary, but that is okay. You are both welcome to come in together, work with your school to be certain you receive the appropriate documentation. Good luck. 04-03-2007 02:22:40toysrez: My name is Qina and I came to US about 10 years ago (J1) and married to an US citizen about 7 years ago and now I am green card holder. I live in New York city with my husband and we both have stable jobs (about 80k annual gross income). Both of my parents (age 54 and 53) are in China and my dad owns his business and my mom work as an accounting manager in a mid size company. My dad came to US 3 times for the past 8 years for business and pleasure. His visa got refused once which was the time he and mom applied together. My mom applied the visa for 3 times and got refused for 3 times. I supported (i-134) last time but also got refused. We do not know why she got refused whenever she apply for the visa since my parents have ties in China and it would be very hard for them to stay in the US. I am thinking for my mom to apply the visa again in May cause I just want her to come here relex for 2 weeks. We do not know what exactly why she got refused everytime and what should we repair. I only know was when last time the officer asked her what kind visa did your daughter had to enter the US and she said" i m not sure, i think student" (actually i m exchange student and had a J1 visa). so we were thinking was that the problem she got refused last time because she didnt give the officer the currect answer? or because I had J1 visa before and even I have greencard now, my mom still cant qualify? I was also wondering is it better for me to submit i-134 for my mom or just let her support on her own? Thank you very much for your kindness to response this matter. Best regards, Qina桑德拉•拉巴奇: We see a lot of parents come in for visas to visit their children. A couple of things all parents should be able to explain is their child's status in the US and what they are doing in the US. We always ask for copies of the visa, green card, or passport of the child and usually ask for pictures of the parents with their children to substantiate relationship. If you provide the copies of your immigration status, make sure they are legible. Parents also must overcome 214B explained above. They must provide proof of their ties to China and that they intend to return after a temporary visit. Good luck to your parents. 04-03-2007 02:24:52henryzwh2: I was rejected once in 2002 when i was in Netherland. Is there any influence with my application now in Beijing?桑德拉•拉巴奇: A refusal from 2002 will be noticed, but since 5 years have passed and you are now in Beijing, I would be more interested in what you have been doing the last 5 years and what ties you currently have to China. Good luck! 04-03-2007 02:34:34Katie83: Hello, I am enrolled in one of America University this Feb. On the I 20, the No.6, the English proficiency wrote that "The student is not yet proficient, English instructions will be given at the school". I asked the University, it is because my TOEFL will be invalid when I enter the school, but my TOEFL is not low( more than 600 ). Is there some trouble about this to get my visa?桑德拉•拉巴奇: If your TOEFL is over 600, I imagine your English is very good. Just be prepared to explain your intended study plan. Additionally, be prepared to show your ties to China, ability to fund the education, and the acceptance letter with the I-20. 04-03-2007 02:42:46learner77: Dear Visa Offier: Is it acceptable for you that my aunt-my mother's sister who is in London in UK assumes the full financial responsibility for my study in PhD in Computer Science in USA, if she has the ability and is willing to do so? What about her husband who is a French?桑德拉•拉巴奇: Sponsers are common for students who study abroad. The important factor will be providing proof to the visa officer of your aunt and uncle's intentions and ability to pay. 04-03-2007 02:44:39zengx: 4 years ago my application for F-1 visa was rejected in Chengdu because the visa officer said I was too young and he advised me to continue my graduate study in US after my undergraduate study. Now I am going to complete my undergraduate study soon and I am admitted in a PhD Program by a US university. My question is that, will that rejection affect my coming application for F-1 visa? Should I indicate that rejection in my application form?桑德拉•拉巴奇: Never Omit anything on your visa form. If you omit something, the officer will assume misrepresentation and it will put your whole application at risk. Your prior refusal was 4 years ago and is not likely to have a strong impact on your current application. In addition to showing your ties, I-20, and ability to pay, I recommend you provide your transcripts from your undergraduate program. Good luck. 04-03-2007 02:46:18zengx: My fall semester starts in mid-August, when should I come to apply for my F-1 visa?桑德拉•拉巴奇: An F-1 visa application will be considered 120 days before the date the program begins. However, the earliest one can enter the US is 30 days before the date the program begins. We always recommend applying early! 04-03-2007 02:49:12zengx: A PhD program usually lasts for 5 years, but a visa usually is valid for one year. Should I come back and apply for a new F-1 visa before it expires?桑德拉•拉巴奇: Once you enter the US on an F-1 visa, as long as you are in good standing in your academic program your visa status is considered current. If you return home, you will need to apply to renew your F-1 while in China. When reapplying, make your appointment for as soon as you come back to China and allow sufficient time for processing. 04-03-2007 02:59:37learner77: My major is law, but my real interest is Computer Science! To realize my dream of studying and researching computer science, i minor in Computer Science. On the process of minoring and self studying, i fall in love with software engineering, one of the direction of computer science. During the university time, i have published 7 papers about software engineering in popular magazines in China and developed several software. Now i have received two admissions from universities in USA for PhD in Computer Science. I am very excited about the big opportunity for potential improvements. But now i am quite worried about visa. Does the change of my major from arts to science have a bad effect on my visa application? what kind of certificates should i show you to prove my minor, published papers and software? According to my background, am i easily checked for pursuing PhD in computer science in usa? Thanks in advance for your answers!桑德拉•拉巴奇: Congratulations on your acceptance to the PHD programs. Every student applying for study in the US must explain why they are choosing the program they are choosing. Be prepared to share with the officer exactly what you have just shared with me. Be prepared to show your papers, publications, and any other certifications you have received. Always be prepared for possible extra administrative processing by applying early and bringing a detailed resume to the interview. Lastly, don't forget you must also demonstrate your ties to China, and your ability to fund your education. Good luck! 04-03-2007 03:00:10flora: I visited US with J-1 visa in 2005 and came back to China in 2006 August. I married in US with an US citizen. Now I have to go to US for court hearing for my divorce case, can I apply B-2 visa?桑德拉•拉巴奇: A B-2 visa is the appropriate visa category for your intended travel. 04-03-2007 03:02:01zengx: 1,四年前（2003年）我被美国的TRUMAN UNIVERSITY 录取为本科生。但在成都签证时被拒签。当时签证官对我说由于我年龄太小，应该在国内读完本科再过去读研究生。于是，我来到北京读了本科。现在我本科即将毕 业，同时又被美国的大学录取为2007年秋季的PHD研究生。我不知道那次拒签是否会对我这次签证有所影响？我该如何准备我的签证？在填表时，我是否要将 四年前的拒签写上？ 2，由于读PHD研究生一般需要4－5年，而签证只有一年时间，那如果一年期到了该怎么办。是要回来重新办吗？ 3，我的学校是8月中旬开学，我一般是在什么时候来签证比较好？ 桑德拉•拉巴奇: 您4年前的拒签记录不会对您此次的签证申请造成很大影响。面谈前请将您大学时期的成绩单准备好，还有您在中国有牢固约束力的证明，美国学校的录取通知书以 及I-20表。另外您必须能够合理解释您如何支付学习的费用。 虽然签证的有效期只有一年，但只要您能在学校保持学生身份，那么您在美国期间就一直是合法的学生。如果您在学习期间回到了中国并需要重新申请新的学生签 证，那么请携带学校的成绩单，以便证明您将继续在该学校学习。 关于什么时候申请签证，您最早可以比开学日期提前120天来申请。但您只能在距开学30天之内进入美国。由于可能会进行额外审理，我们建议您尽早申请。 04-03-2007 03:03:01桑德拉•拉巴奇: Thanks to everyone for your participation! I look forward to chatting with you again on April 17th. Have a great couple of weeks! 04-03-2007 03:16:44桑德拉•拉巴奇: Thanks for your participation! See you in two weeks. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATEBureau of International Information ProgramsUSINFO Webchat transcript Talk to the Consul Beijing Guest: Sandra Labarge, Consular Affairs - BeijingDate: March 20, 2007Time: 14:00 Beijing (02:00 EDT) 问题: 我是一位由中国政府出资赞助的交流访问学者。我已经接到了由美国一位教授签名的邀请信，但他还没有将DS-2019表寄给我。我下一步该怎么办？我可以只 有邀请信就前去申请签证吗？谢谢。 回答：多好的机会呀！作为一位交流访问学者，您必须在签证面谈时出示适当的文件。请进一步跟您的教授联系，他/她需要在美国将你签证所需的必要材料准备好 并寄给你。 问题：我上次的B1/B2签证是美国驻米兰（意大利）总领馆签发的，2006年11月（3个月之前）刚过期。我今年5月想再去美国出席一个国际会议。我这 次的签证类别还是B1/B2，我可以通过中信银行递交免面谈签证申请吗？还是我必须到美国驻北京大使馆面谈呢？多谢！ 回答：中信银行的免面谈签证申请服务非常便捷。但有一个条件是您上一次签证必须由美国驻中国的使领馆之一签发。请您预约面谈时间并前来使馆参加面谈。您下 次再申请的时候也许可以使用中信银行的免面谈签证申请服务。 Q [cihcoca]: 谢谢桑德拉女士，我很想留学海外，请问有没有容易的方法拿到签证。比如如果我想去法国留学，如果我已经有短期旅游的签证，那么在得到留学签证就容易了。在 美国这方法能使用吗？ 回答：希望您能得到海外留学的机会。我对法国留学签证的要求不太了解。但要得到美国的学生签证，您必须做到以下几点： 1）被美国学校接收并被签发I-20表； 2）预约面谈时间并在面谈时出示您的I-20表，解释留学计划，证明自己在中国拥有足够牢固的约束力，并证明自己有能力担负赴美留学的所有费用。以前曾经 去过美国的确是签证官在面谈时考虑的一个方面，但您是否符合学生签证的资格由上述几个方面决定。祝您好运！ Q [cihcoca]: 请问短期旅游签证多长时间有效 桑德拉•拉巴奇: A tourist visa is valid for as long as noted on the visa itself. The validation range for Chinese Applicants can be up to one year. **回答：旅游签证的有效期长度为签证页面上所印的长度。颁发给中国申请人的旅游签证有效期最长可以是一年。 问题: 我是一个艺术家。我2006年6月曾去纽约举办了个人展览，之后就回国了。签证的有效期是一年。现在我想去美国处理一些其它事物。不幸的是我的护照被弄湿 了，导致上面的照片模糊不清。我应该怎么办？我需要重新申请签证吗？如果我需要重新申请签证，我这次可以申请B2旅游签证吗？我去年的签证是B1商务签 证。谢谢。 回答：如果您签证上的照片模糊不清，导致无法确定您的身份，那么您可能会在美国入境口岸遇到麻烦。我建议您再次预约面谈时间并申请新的签证。面谈的签证官 可能会奇怪您为什么这么快又来申请新的签证，但在听了您的解释后就应该没问题了。如果您认为您的照片还算清楚，能证明您的身份，那您可以试着在入境口岸时 出示。要是我的话，我就小心谨慎一点，我会选择重新申请新的签证。 问题:我下个月准备回中国结婚。我妻子将在5月申请F2签证。请问申请F2签证最需要注意的是什么？她打算在我们结婚后就马上申请签证（结婚20天之 后），会有问题吗？谢谢。 回答: 祝贺您即将步入婚姻殿堂! 除了出示您的签证，资金能力，I-20表，你们的结婚证，还有您维持学生身份的证明外，您的配偶还应该出示各种材料证明你们的恋爱及婚姻关系，例如你们从 恋爱开始直到结婚时的合影等。另外，她应该出示材料证明你们相隔千里是如何维持恋爱关系的，如长途电话的帐单、电话记录和其它形式的交流证明。如果您这次 需要申请新的学生签证，你们俩最好一起来面谈。祝你们好运！ 问题: 我和我妻子去年在中国登记结婚了。她是位美国公民。我曾经去过美国三次，都按期返回了中国。两次在结婚前，分别持B1签证和J1签证。最后一次是在今年的 一月份，持因公普通护照和B1/B2签证。因为要照顾父母，我目前不准备移民美国。但我希望在每年休假的时候去美国探望我的妻子。很多人说我得到短期访问 签证的机会很小。是这样吗？我怎样才能让你们相信我呢？ 回答：得到美国短期签证的一个首要条件是证明自己在中国有牢固的约束力。跟美国公民结婚并且配偶常年在美国居住将使申请人的约束力转移到美国。如果申请人 虽然跟美国公民结婚，但其配偶随其在中国长住，那么申请人的约束力还在中国。很多在中国长住的中国公民跟外国人结婚了。他们通常证明自己在中国有其它方面 的约束力，如工作，父母等。和美国公民结婚不会增加您获得短期签证的难度，但前提是您必须能够证明您在中国拥有牢固的约束力。您以前曾多次访问美国并按期 返回中国将对您的申请有帮助。 桑德拉•拉巴奇: Thanks to everyone who attended and submitted questions. I look forward to our next session. I will address any unanswered questions at that time! Have a great couple of weeks! 03-06-2007 01:14:21 nina2: I heard that I have less chance of getting a student visa if I have no scholarship? Is that true? 桑德拉•拉巴奇: Answer: Thank you for your question. Whether or not a student is issued a visa is not dependent on whether or not the student has been granted a scholarship. However, it could be relevant as a means to show that the applicant has the ability to pay for the education they wish to pursue. Please remember in order to receive a student visa, students must establish they have a legitimate purpose of travel, strong ties to their country, and the ability to pay for their desired education in the United States. 提问:我听说没有奖学金会降低获得学生签证的机率,是真的吗? 回答:谢谢您的问题. 申请人是否能获得学生签证与他/她是否被授予奖学金没有固定联系. 不过,申请人可以用获得奖学金这一点来证明自己有能力支付赴美留学的费用. 请记住要获得美国学生签证,申请人必须能证明以下三点: 有正当合理的访美目的;在本国拥有牢固的约束力;还有就是有能力支付自己在美国留学的费用. 03-06-2007 01:37:50 uncle help: How to apply for a bachlor degree study in the U.S. for the Chinse high school graduates? What else documents shall I bring to the visa interview besides the necessary ones? 桑德拉•拉巴奇: Good Question! First of all, applying for universities in the US is a separate process from applying for a US Visa. The first step in applying to a University is to determine your course of study and what school you would like to attend. Please go to liuxueusa.cn for information regarding universities and study abroad programs. The second step would be to apply to a university you would like to attend. After you are accepted to the University you will receive an I-20 from that University, only then can you plan to apply for your visa. In order to apply for your visa, make an appointment and come in prepared to demonstrated three things. The first is why you are going to the US, the second is your strong ties to China which will ensure your return to China, and lastly how you intend to pay for your education in the US. The documents you shoud prepare will substantiate the above criteria. *** 提问:中国的高中生要想申请去美国读大学怎样办理? 除了必须递交的申请材料外,面谈时我还应该准备哪些支持性文件?*** 回答:问得好! 首先需要说明的是申请美国大学和申请美国学生签证是两个不同的程序. 申请美国大学的第一步是确定学习的课程及想去的大学. 欲知有关美国大学及课程设置等详细信息,请访问liuxueusa.cn. 第二步是向您选中的美国大学递交入学申请. 当您被学校接收后,您会收到I-20表. 只有在拿到I-20表后您才能准备申请签证. 要申请学生签证,您必须提前预约并在约定的时间前来面谈. 面谈时您必须能证明以下三点: 第一点是您为什么要去美国留学; 第二点是您在中国是否有牢固的约束力能保证您留学后返回中国; 最后一点是您怎样支付赴美留学的费用. 在准备签证材料时您应该围绕以上三个方面来准备. 回答:（end）
