Student Visas are a Priority
学生签证优先
Growth in visa applications means that during peak seasons there can be a wait of several weeks to get an appointment for a visa interview in many classes (including B1/B2 business travelers). However, we give priority to student applicants.
尽管申请量的增加意味着在高峰期签证面谈的等候时间需要花费几个星期(包括商务签证申请人)，但学生签证的申请人依然享有优先。
F, M, and J (students, vocational students, and exchange visitors) visa applicants do not have to wait several weeks for visa interviews. Even in our busiest seasons, students can generally make an appointment for an interview in just a day or two.
F、M和J类(学生、职业技能类学生和交流学者)申请人不必为签证面谈而等待几周。即使是在我们工作最忙的时间，学生们通常只需提前一、两天预约面谈时间。
About the Visa Interview
关于签证面谈
There are three main factors Visa Officers consider for student visa applicants:
签证官对学生签证申请人有三个主要的考虑因素：
Are you a legitimate student?
你是一个合格的学生吗?
Do you intend to return to China after graduation?
毕业之后你打算回国吗？

Factors Visa Officers Consider
签证官考虑的因素
*Are you a legitimate student?
你是一个合格的学生吗?
Bring all your acceptance letters, SEVIS receipt, and financial aid documents.
带好你的入学通知书，SEVIS收据和资金证明。
Do you have a clear plan of study?
你有明确的学习计划吗？
Why did you choose your advisor and program?
为什么选择你的导师和课程？
*Do you intend to return to China after graduation?
毕业之后你打算回国吗？
Students should be able to discuss what they want to study and what they will do with their degrees. Rehearsed speeches are not credible.
仔细考虑你会如何使用你的学位，不用事先准备。
If you plan to spend a lot of your family’s money for your education, then explain how it would be possible for you to earn back that money in China. Keep in mind Visa Officers are very aware of local income levels.
如果你将花费许多的家庭存款去求学，那么你需要解释将来你如何在中国挣回这么多的钱。请记住：签证官了解当地的收入情况。
*Can you pay for your education?
你能支付自己的教育费用吗?
If parents are paying for your tuition, you need to show that your parents have stable jobs and a history of income.
如果你的父母支付你的学费,你需要证明你的父母有长期稳定的工作并且一直有着相当高的收入。
Large amounts of recently deposited money do not help your case. Bank records and tax documents should show a history of at least several years of earnings and savings.
近期的巨额存款对你的申请没有任何帮助。银行纪录和税单应说明最近几年的收入和存款明细。
