一、 無簽證回美國
去年我被check的時候,帥哥簽證官沒有在我的護照和過期簽證上打任何東西,所以很順利的回美國。
今年我缺材料,覺得也不可能在1pm之前補完(當(dāng)時12pm),就想先回美國。但是,這次嚴(yán)厲的亞裔mm給我的過期簽證上打了一個大大的“canceled without prejudge".明眼人一看就是去了TJ簽證但又沒拿到新簽證。
心里擔(dān)心能不能回美國,畢竟身邊有人曾因為同樣原因闖關(guān)失敗。
這時,有個H1mm給我打氣,給我出主意,給我電話卡用。還告訴我最好去黑或墨邊境檢查員那闖關(guān)。還幫我攔白色taxi。她還告訴另外一個F1mm,可以去很近的HomeDepot(我記不住,也許是 officedepot )上網(wǎng)交SEVIS費。
到了邊境處,正好有個黑gg。本來他都要下班了,但還是很nice的接待了我。也許是因為他要下班,也許是因為我把I94和I20夾在護照第一頁(我不想他去翻簽證頁)。他真的沒看簽證頁,隨便翻了幾個空白頁就讓我過了。
我想感謝那個H1mm。我都沒問她的名字。只知道她從明州來,是做會計的,是個帶眼鏡的ppmm.謝謝她的鼓勵,謝謝她幫我想辦法,謝謝她給了我鎮(zhèn)定。
二 缺材料
今天很多中國人簽,有H1,F1。H1缺payroll存根,補交上就好了。
俺缺SEVIS收據(jù)。我是2004年前來的,本來不需要SEVIS費,但是已經(jīng)完成了學(xué)位,所以還是要的(回來上網(wǎng)查信息才明白的)。當(dāng)是還是很生氣那個簽證官,去年簽的時候怎么不要呢?原來當(dāng)時還沒完成學(xué)業(yè)。
另一個F1和我一樣的問題。所以,提醒大家注意SEVIS費問題
