一、 无签证回美国
去年我被check的时候,帅哥签证官没有在我的护照和过期签证上打任何东西,所以很顺利的回美国。
今年我缺材料,觉得也不可能在1pm之前补完(当时12pm),就想先回美国。但是,这次严厉的亚裔mm给我的过期签证上打了一个大大的“canceled without prejudge".明眼人一看就是去了TJ签证但又没拿到新签证。
心里担心能不能回美国,毕竟身边有人曾因为同样原因闯关失败。
这时,有个H1mm给我打气,给我出主意,给我电话卡用。还告诉我最好去黑或墨边境检查员那闯关。还帮我拦白色taxi。她还告诉另外一个F1mm,可以去很近的HomeDepot(我记不住,也许是 officedepot )上网交SEVIS费。
到了边境处,正好有个黑gg。本来他都要下班了,但还是很nice的接待了我。也许是因为他要下班,也许是因为我把I94和I20夹在护照第一页(我不想他去翻签证页)。他真的没看签证页,随便翻了几个空白页就让我过了。
我想感谢那个H1mm。我都没问她的名字。只知道她从明州来,是做会计的,是个带眼镜的ppmm.谢谢她的鼓励,谢谢她帮我想办法,谢谢她给了我镇定。
二 缺材料
今天很多中国人签,有H1,F1。H1缺payroll存根,补交上就好了。
俺缺SEVIS收据。我是2004年前来的,本来不需要SEVIS费,但是已经完成了学位,所以还是要的(回来上网查信息才明白的)。当是还是很生气那个签证官,去年签的时候怎么不要呢?原来当时还没完成学业。
另一个F1和我一样的问题。所以,提醒大家注意SEVIS费问题
