Do you know all the things you need to know about visas?

A visa, in plain English, is a ticket to enter a country. From a professional point of view, it is a document issued by a country's immigration authority (such as an immigration office or a foreign embassy or consulate) that allows foreign citizens to enter the country. A passport is the equivalent of your ID card in outbound travel. Before you can buy a ticket, you must have an ID card, so you must have a passport before applying for any visa.

The following talk about visas, different types of visas for different countries, overall, divided into online and face-to-face. Each is explained below.

Notes on online visas.

The so-called online visa, that is, a visa on the Internet, followed (potentially) by a face-to-face presentation of paper materials at the embassy. But in the end: there is no interview. The visa officer decides on the wholesale of the visa based on viewing the paper material. Typical online visa China such as the UK, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. Notes are as follows.

1. After deciding on a school, the faster the visa the better; there are times when the visa process review is slow and not something we can artificially work on (to increase the speed). Sometimes the visa is only applied for near the beginning of the school year, and it happens to meet the background check (usually takes 1-2 months), and the visa is granted slowly, and the class is not caught up with the LateFee, so you lose a lot because of the small.

2. Organize your documents; submit them together without fail.

3. encounter unclear items, first baidu view, first find qq weibo group ask brothers and sisters, do not fill in; some times the visa system of some things, we do not understand how to fill in, such as ClassHonor, not clear what that means, directly arbitrarily selected (in fact, ClassHonor is the Commonwealth of our country only undergraduate degree level, divided into first-class bachelor's degree, second-class (In fact, ClassHonor is the undergraduate degree level only in Commonwealth China, divided into first-class bachelor's degree, second-class bachelor's degree...; the mainland school's bachelor's degree doesn't have that); if you fill it in blindly, the visa officer will mistake it as "intentional falsification", then it will be trouble.

Interview notes.

The so-called face-to-face examination is the visa that requires an interview. The visa officer decides the visa wholesale through the interview, typical visa waiver countries such as the United States. Pay attention to the following matters.

1. The time is determined and the materials are organized; please be sure to confirm the interview time, and if the interview is held outside of China, be sure to determine whether it is local time or Beijing time. Missing the time of the interview will have serious consequences. In addition, all materials should be prepared; some materials that must be submitted via the internet before the interview (such as the SEVIS system in the U.S.) should be prepared.

2. Please dress seriously and always keep visa extension hong kong a professional smile; the interviewer is very status-conscious, so please wear whatever you want and dress as professionally and formally as possible. Don't go for a PhD student visa: dye your hair yellow, make an earring, and get a tiger tattoo on your neck: that's a bad feeling.

If the interviewer doesn't ask, you can't say much.

For example, if you say, "All of my brothers and sisters have studied abroad, and some of them are long-term residents in the U.S., so I want to study in the U.S.", you may give the interviewer a good impression (think you are a good student), but you may also give the interviewer a bad impression (suspect that you have immigrant tendencies), and if it happens to be the latter, it will be over.

4. student visa, only about studying abroad; do not talk about other issues related to career development ah, immigration; then say this school is very good ah, then the professional is very interesting ah, and then this professor bullying, so want to go to study. This is all right.

If you talk more about this profession is easy to find a job in the United States or something, it is easy to provoke the nerves of the interviewer (because you talk about work, on behalf of the work visa). If you say that this profession is easy to immigrate, it may be even worse. Overall: just talk about studying abroad.
