申請美國留學的時候,很多學生會因為籤證而被卡主,由此可見,想要順利的去美國留學,籤證就必須要搞定。申請美國留學籤證的時候,面籤是必要的流程,很多學生也會因為面籤時候的一些問題回答不好而出現被拒籤的情況。
那麼,美國留學籤證面試有哪些常見問題呢?總結起來,以下四個問題經常會被問到:
關於這一方面,籤證官會問到以前學習的學校、專業,工作的公司名稱等,以及相關的一些細節。
針對這類問題,申請者只需如實回答,並適時主動的出示證明自己言論的相關文件,比如畢業證、成績單、辭職信、以前的名片等。
選擇美國、目標學校、所學專業的原因,對於這部分問題,申請者要提高警惕。
雖然有些申請者有畢業之後在美工作幾年或者移民的打算,而這正是我們重點要迴避的。
我們可以從學術氛圍、可用資源、教育水平等方面強調美國留學的優勢,尤其可以強調自己的學校在所學專業上的特點。
當籤證官會問申請者申請了幾所學校,分別是什麼的時候,一般列舉6、7相同檔次的即可。
如果申請的學校過多或者檔次拉開的過大,可能給籤證官一個為了到美國讀書而申請的原因,從而懷疑我們的留學動機。
針對這類問題,我們推薦選擇去美國讀研究生的孩子把學校的地理位置有一個初步的了解。並且了解這個專業的課程設計、畢業流程、自己所學專業或者導師最近的研究課題等。
如果設計到一些敏感專業,儘量詳細介紹自己即將開展的課題的「非敏感性」,並積極出示相關證明材料,如美國導師寫的support letter、導師的簡歷以及自己在相關領域的論文等。
不管冷門專業還是熱門專業,申請者都要儘量讓籤證官看到申請者對就業的信心。尤其需要強調所學專業在中國的發展空間,以及潛在的就業方向,可以列舉需要此專業人才的大公司、政府部門或者學校的名字。
下面是23個面籤中常見的問題及其參考答案(留學籤證最好是用英文回答,答案僅供參考)。

I will take courses, teaching, do research, and finish my thesis in the area of image processing to get my Ph.d in Electric Engineering in 4 years.
11) What is your purpose for the visa? (你的籤證目的是什麼)
I need a F-1 visa in order to study for my Ph.D degree in Electric and Computer Engineering in Auburn University. I plan to finish my study in about 4 years and then come back to china.
12) What is your academic background? (你的學術背景是什麼)
I got my bachelor's degree in Computational Science in 2006 from ZhongShan University and got my MS's degree in Software Engineering in 2010 from Peking University.Image processing is my favorite research field, I have published several papers and a book on this field and I also have two years working experience on that.
13) How do you know this Univ.? (你怎麼知道這所大學的?)
I searched the Ranking of University in Electric Engineering on line and read the schools among the top 100 lists, visited their website to get familiar with their faculty and research. I found there are 7 professors in Electric department in Auburn University whose research interest includes image processing, very many, then I decide to apply for this University.
14) What is your plan? What will you do after graduation? (你有什麼計劃?畢業後準備做什麼?)
I will specialize in Image Processing and finish my Ph.D study in Electric Engineering in Auburn University in about 4 years.Then I will come back to China and find a position in an University. My desired work place is ShenZhen, I'm going to join ShenZhen University to be a professor in Electric Engineering.
15) Give me three reasons that you will come back to China? (給我三個你會回中國的理由)
First of all, I'm the only child of my parents. I have to come back and take care of my parents since they will become older and weaker as time goes by. The attachment to family is very strong for our Chinese people. Secondly, as you can see, I applied for a PH.D program instead of M.S. program. As far as I know, and probably as you know, Ph.D holders in the States are not so easy to find good jobs as Ms holders even in the same discipline. If I intended to find a job and stay in the states, I would not have applied for Ph.D. but MS program. And Ph.D will take much more time, without the real interest, who would pay so much time and energy to chase a Ph.D degree? Finally, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in china with my Ph.D in Electric Engineering got in the United States. My career objective determines that it is a better choice for me to come back to China than staying in the states. You see my long range objective is to become a professor and it would be very difficult for me to realize it should I choose to stay in the states, for the United States is a highly developed county, the competition to get a position in University is too fierce. On the contrary, if I come back to china, I have much better opportunity. Since china is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people, so it is much more practical for me to get a teaching position in a Chinese University.
16) Can you explain why 90% Chinese students didn't come back? (你能解釋為什麼90%的中國學生都不回國嗎?)
I think that is partly because they were afraid that they would not be treated fairly after they come back. As a matter of fact, that used to be the reality. But things has been changing greatly during recent years and much more students are coming back after they have finished their study. I also think this has something to do with the majors. As for students majoring in science, they may like the better equipment, environment and salary in the states because they are afraid that if they are back some of their research can not go on as a result of poor facility and shortage of funding. But as for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in china with my Ph.D in Electric Engineering got in the United States. You see, it is a practical major. My career objective also determines that it is a better choice for me to come back to China than staying in the states. You see my long range objective is to become a professor and it would be very difficult for me to realize it should I choose to stay in the states, for the United States is a highly developed county, the competition to get a position in University is too fierce. On the contrary, if I come back to china, I have much better opportunities. Since china is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people, so it is much more practical for me to get a teaching position in a Chinese University.
17) Why do you choose this Univ.? (你為什麼選擇這所大學)
First of all, the Electric Engineering program of Auburn University is among the top Ph.D programs in the states, and in my proposed research field-image processing, there are 7 professors in Electric Engineering Department in Auburn University. And also I like the weather of Auburn, just similar to the weather of GuangZhou. Another reason is that I got the admission from Auburn University very early-in early October. And I accepted this admission before November 1st.
18) Why do you like your major? (你為什麼喜歡你的專業)
I believe Electric Engineering is promising in china. As for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in china with my Ph.D got in the United States. You see, it is a practical major. My long range objective is to become a professor and it would be very difficult for me to realize it should I choose to stay in the states, for the United States is a highly developed county, the competition to get a position in University is too fierce. On the contrary, if I come back to china, I have much better opportunities. Since china is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people, so it is much more practical for me to get a teaching position in a Chinese University.
19) Why do you want to study in USA? (你為什麼想在美國學習)
I believe Electric Engineering is a promising major currently in China. The United States offers the best education in this field. The professors in the states have deeper knowledge in this science, while the research in China trying to understand one technology in Electric Science, the professors in the states are able to create more original theories. So to have my Ph.D education in the USA is a reasonable and wise decision.
20) Why do you want to pursue a doctor's degree? (你為什麼想攻讀博士學位)
As for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in china with my Ph.D degree in Electric Engineering got in the United States. You see, it is a practical major. My long range objective is to become a professor and I think a Ph.D is necessary for me to realize my career objective.I don't want to stop someday on my half way toward success to resume my study as a result of lacking of knowledge.So I need a Ph.D degree in this field.
21) What is the most difficult class do you have? (你覺得什麼課程比較困難?)
Probably algorithm. It is a course about advanced calculating and requires high technique in both computer programming and mathematics.
22) Have you assigned any tutor? (你有安排導師嗎?)
My tutor has not been determined, the university let me decide who I will follow within one year after my arrival in the campus.
23) What's the difference between your major now and the major in USA? (你現在的專業和你在美國念的專業有什麼不同?)
They belongs to the same field. My undergraduate study and graduate study are mathematics and computer engineering. The major I'm going to study in Auburn University is Electric and Computer Engineering. The only difference is that what I'm going to study is more detailed and much deeper in this filed.
