在签证申请过程中申请人常见存在的误解是什么？
在我在使馆工作的期间我注意到最大的误解就是申请人认为回答我们面谈提出的问题是有正确或者错误的一个答案。 如果我面谈的申请人给我诚实的回答和告诉我它们并没有事先排练好的故事，而不是他们认为我们想听到的话， 如果是这样他们会更容易的获得签证。 我喜欢看到申请人在签证窗口做他们真实的自己，而不是准备好的一个讲演。通常， 后者让人看起来没有那么多的可信度，从而他们获得签证的几率也就更低了。
另外一个误解就是人们也许会认为大多数的申请人会被拒签。事实上，统计数据显示北京的拒签率小于２０％！ 实际上，大多数我们面谈的申请人都可以去美国。 作为签证官我们的工作不是给申请人拒签，而是要确保申请所说的联系在一起是真实，简单，符合逻辑的。
在签证过程中你认为申请人存在什么样的误解？
在很多申请人中，
无论是返签还是首签的申请人， 他们也许会有一个错误的印象就是领事官员只会给他们拒签。
但事实上，我们的任务是积极致力于推动每一个符合条件的申请人赴美， 我们面谈的主要目的是审理申请人个人情况是否符合美国的移民法。 同时我们一直努力去使我们做的面谈决定是冷静充分也是有礼貌的。 另一个误解相信是很多申请人共同存在的，那就是他们觉得需要用准备的材料去证明所有的一切，
但事实上， 我们考虑的是申请人全面，综合的情况， 例如在他们自我情况的表述，文件材料的准备是否是平衡连贯的，这些都是很重要的因素。
作为一个位领事官员， 我们做的决定是依照申请人展示他们整体的情况是可信的和连续的，并且他们可以展示并且有着强有力的说服力可以按时回到中国。
另外， 如果携带虚假的材料进来面谈这样并帮不了他们，因为我们的领事官员都经过训练和有着丰富的面谈经验去审视此类的虚假行为。
What is a
common misperception that many people have about the visa
application process?
The biggest
misperception I have noticed in my time at the embassy is that
applicants think there is a right or wrong answer to every question
we ask. If people I interview just give me honest answers and tell
me their unrehearsed stories, instead of saying what they think I
want to hear, they will have a better chance of getting
visa. I would like applicants to just be
themselves at the window, instead of making prepared
speeches. Often times, doing the latter actually
makes people seem less credible and may lower their chances of
getting their visa applications approved.
Another misperception that people may have is that the
majority of applicants we interview get denied visas. In fact,
statistics indicate that in Beijing the refusal rate is less than
twenty percent! In actuality,
most of the people we interview have a good chance of going to the
States. Our job as Consular Officers is not to deny visas but to
ensure that everything adds up and that the story simply makes
sense.
What is a
common misperception that you think many people have about the visa
application process?
Many
applicants, whether they are repeat or first-time applicants, may
be under the mistaken impression that Consular Officers only
reluctantly issue visas. In fact, our underlying mission is to
facilitate travel to the U.S. for every qualified traveler, and the
whole purpose for the interview is to determine whether the
applicant’s situation accords with U.S. immigration law. We always
strive to conduct our interviews and arrive at our decisions in a
calm, courteous manner. Another mistaken belief that many
applicants have is that they need a document to prove everything,
but in fact, it is the applicants’ overall demonstration of their
situation, in terms of the coherence and balance between what they
say as well as what documents they bring, that is important. As
Consular Officers, we base our decisions on the extent to which the
applicants’ demonstration of their overall situation is credible
and coherent and if the applicants have convincingly demonstrated
that they will return to China. Coming in with fake documents or
allowing consultants to create an embellished applicant package
does not help in strengthening their cases because we have
substantial experience and training that helps us to detect this
type of fraud.
