III 注意事项

 

1. 问什么说什么，不要答非所问，不要背事先准备好的"演讲词"！回答简单明了，切忌太多细节上的解释，签证官没有那么多时间听无关紧要的事。

 

2. 说实话。(不要背诵已准备好的材料,根据自己的实际情况表述)
3. 学生要清楚美国的学校或者机构，要非常清楚自己到美国求学的目的。
4. 4.明确的学习计划
5. 面试时一定要注意自己的仪表,气质和态度,穿着要得体,学生应在着装上充分显示自己的身份.男士要显得精干,不要打扮得油光水滑;女生尽量淑女一些,不要太前卫,化妆不可过于耀眼..在等候的时候,应不卑不亢,安静等候,显出你的气质.
6. 6.第一眼见到签证官员的时候，一定要Don’t forget the greeting words,要面带微笑,表现信心.当然,信心是建立在你对各种签证问题的精心准备基础上的,但现场表情也非常重要,笑一笑能拉近人与人的距离,会让人感到放松,会感染签证官的情绪。
7. 7.说话时声音要清晰,语速要慢.声音清晰意味着说话有底气,分量足,显示出你的自信.语速要慢,对英语口语不太好的人来说,可以让签证官听清楚你的表达的意思,还能让自己有时间来思考签证官的问题.如果遇到容易回答的问题，语速太快回答，会让签证官认为你的英语很好，也会因此加快语速，这样你可能会听不懂。请牢记讲的慢不代表英语差。
8. 8.心态一定要坦然.无论前边有几个人签过签不过都与你没有关系,你要做到的就是保持正常的心态去迎接面试.
9. 9.不要有侥幸心理.有时候签证官因为主观因素,由他面谈的申请者通过的多,称之为 “放水”.但一心想着靠签证官放水是不行的,因为放水的窗口和实践是永远无法预料的.只有精心进行签证准备,按照最严格的模式来进行模拟面试训练.
10. 切忌过度紧张。稍稍紧张能够使人注意力集中，处于积极应对状态。但不要过度紧张。
11. 即使拒签也要保持风度。有的申请者被拒签后吵闹，这样做其实不仅无济于事，还会影响形象。可以冷静地询问签证官拒签的原因是什么，如果是材料不够齐全的原因，那么可以下次补齐材料。如果签证官明确表示拒签，最好是不要与签证官争辩。
