I got US visa today--business visa.

   I am so so so happy, could not believe it's true. It's kind of like a dream.

   
   I called for an appointment on 12 Feb. As it's slow season, so I had an appointment on 22 Feb. But then I changed it to 29, as I was afraid 9 days was too tight to get everything done.

I got up at 7am, and then realized I did not pay the visa fee which is requested to pay 1 day ahead, I was worried that I might not to be interviewed today. When I got the bank, it's 8am, they open at 8:30am. I asked the security guy if it's possible to pay now and go for interview later, he said not a problem. A great relief. Came upon a Chinese guy told me not allowed to bring the handbag inside, and asked me if I had written the code of Chinese name. He charges 20yuan for the code, 10yuan for keeping my handbag. The code I can look for in the consulate, so I decided to go back home to put away the handbag.

   
    It was around 8:40 when I walked in the consulate.  After turned in all documents they gave me a number, which is 808. I was so happy it looks a good omen to me. So I crossed my fingers and prayed in heart. I heard there was announcing a name and a girl went upon and was told no need to queue, she would be interviewed directly. I was sitting next to her, and asked her why she does not need to queue? She said she has been interviewed many times so she knows the officer. She is very pretty. I also asked is it true that a real pretty single woman is easily turned down? She said yes, it's true. so are you married or single, I was curious, she said I am married.

    I really don't understand why so many applicants? Why US is so popular?

    A smiling friendly woman officer with Asian look turned down a lot of applicants and she even was very mean to a Chinese woman: how much it costs you to get these documents? And finally she yelled to the woman: please go out and never come back. I was joking with a girl standing behind me as she thought the woman officer looks so friendly that you can never judge people by their smiling. They might hide a knife behind the smiling. After we witnessed how many applicants were turned down by her, it approved my assumption was right. I called her the smiling devil. I hope I was not interviewed by her, hope I was interviewed by a young handsome guy, and hope he would grant me visa if I gave him some sweet winks, hehe. But unfortunately I was interviewed by the smiling devil, I was so nervous, could not calm down. My voice was trembling. I greeted to her: good morning, Madam.  She looked very happy and kept smiling till the end. I was too nervous to hear her questions, I asked again and again, fortunately she only asked me 2 questions: what kind of products you company do? I showed her the profile of our company and she was joking about to buy one. Then she asked my business card, after that she gave me the green card told me to pay for the delivery fee, I was a little shocked, so quick and so simple? I  prepared so many documents!!!! I was so happy, and said to her: thank you very much, wish you a good day.

    Walking out of the consulate I still could not believe it's true, so I showed the security guy the little green card, he confirmed me. I was so happy, could not help smirking, wanted to share this great news to each good friend and gave them a big hug.

I got US business visa in 2008 and 2009, then in Aug, 2009, I got student visa.
