Apply US F-1 Visa in China
I have one month vacation, and go back to China. So I need to renew my US F-1 Visa.
In short, you have to fill some documents, pay fees and make appointment.
All the procedure can be found in this website: ustraveldocs
My appointment time is 2015–05–28 8:30am. My good friend come with me, we arrive US Embassy around 8:00am.
There is a very long line. But there’re lots of peopel with appointment time after 9:00am. So they’re not allowed to enter the Embassy. I need to thru the crowd and say “excuse me” hundred times.
After that, the procedure is:
- security check and a short line.
- documents check, there’re Chinese employee to do this. This step needs my passport, DS-160, and photo.
- record finger print, there’re US employee to do this.
- real interview.
The officer is a handsome guy, below is the interview:
- brief introduce.
- ask my resume and look it carefully.
- ask my research details. I told him my current work.
- ask my research plan. But I don’t have that, so I give him our website copy. He compare it with my resume carefully.
- ask my dissertation topic. I tell him my current research again, but in different way.
Finally, he told me my application is approved.
