把我自己的经历写下来，也许对有些人有帮助：
岳父在加拿大探亲，去多伦多美国领馆签B2，本人翻译：
两点的预约，一点进去，三点不到出来。
总体非常地顺利。最重要的原因是原来来过，按时回去了。这是签证官说的。
其他还问了三四个问题，包括以后直接回中国，还是回加拿大；
是不是去探上次的同一个人；打算去多久。
前后不到两分钟。准备的补充材料都没看。但据我在里面一个多小时的观察，大部分人
面谈时间都很长，十分钟左右。大部分都过了，个别拿黄条，应该是被据了。充分的准
备还是有必要。
本人绿卡回美国：
意想不到的是本人晚上9点多入关时盘问得比签证还多。递上绿卡后问国籍，然后问去
加拿大干嘛。答去看望岳父（刚开始没说去签证）。又问在哪工作，怎能证明你在那工
作。（还好找到了一张名片）。甚至问我的衣服在哪，为啥是湿的（估计怀疑我是从
大湖游过来的，其实就是换洗的衣服有点潮）。还是觉得我的TRIP不MAKE SENSE. 我说
我还带我岳父去签证，才让我进来。（也许我该早说这个，只是没想到她会问这麽细
）。所以绿卡入关多少做点准备，至少带张名片啥的。

我老婆将于9月8号去上海签h4签证，我人在美国，我们是3月底在国内领的证，
但是还没办婚礼，而且我老婆2009年时候在英国签旅游签证被拒签过。
请有经验的人指教指教啊，这样去签证过的概率大不大，应该怎么准备，大概会问些什么问题啊～～多谢了！！
加问：在ds-160表格那边拒签理由应该怎么填写啊？？？

作为一名EB3 PD 2004 的老潜水员，首先我要跟广大EB3同胞说，坚持就是胜利。还有
，我给大家节省了两个EB3的名额。最后，我希望EB2的筒子们，在你们讨论horizontal spillover
胜利的同时，请注意别在EB3的伤口上撒盐。有的EB2，话里话外都透着一股子“你们
EB3就是低级，排期活该，平行spillover理所应当啊，因为我们是EB2 高级啊”。其实
，PERM以后，无非是从程序上大家更容易走EB2了，不要当了真。
好了，说正事：
我是2004 PD，EB3，在我办LC的时候，还没有排期这一说呢，当时为了省事，懒的跟
manager解释LC上的工资是将来拿到绿卡的工资，就走了EB3。申请交了一年多，进了
BEC的小黑屋。从黑屋出来已经是2006年底了。2007年1月交140。
2007年7月大潮的时候，加急了140，批准。然后和猪头交了485。
2008年7月，猪头的EB1 140交上去，2009年2月批准。接下来好戏就上演了：

其实也不仅是黄金，作者有个中文名字，但是英文好的太离谱了。估计是个老外起了个
中文名
http://www.ingoldwetrust.ch/world-gold-council-clueless-on-chin
Zhanglan • 2 days ago
Koos, every day I read utter lies and nonsense - about China, about Gold,
about the effects of Winter weather on the US Economy, about the fact that
QE tapering is negative for Gold, about how the Gold : Silver ratio has
historically averaged 15, about how a rising stock market is bad for Gold,
about how crises in Emerging Markets currencies are bad for Gold - and today
I even read that investment demand for Gold was down 50% in 2013 (and that'
s why the price fell) http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb... and according to the World Gold Council the increase in OTC demand "was primarily due to a build up of stockpiles in Q4 by wholesalers and fabricators in Asia".
These people are not stupid or confused - it's all lies and deliberate
misinformation - lies by the media (Bloomberg in particular), lies by the
Government, lies by the Gold Bugs. And none of it matters:
1. Even if you are right that Chinese gold demand totalled over 2,000 tons
in 2013, it didnt stop the Gold price falling because
2. Unless you are Germany, 1000 tons or 2000 tons is a tiny amount of Gold
compared to the estimated 170,000 tons of above-ground stocks and the [
Insert Improbably High Number Here] OTC volume traded daily on the LBMA and
elsewhere. When you are repeatedly dropping 4,000 COMEX futures in a single
clip at 0300 GMT, 50 tons of Chinese Gold Pandas here or there are probably
not a material factor in the grander scheme of things
3. Even if we knew the precise amount of Gold imported, exported, lost down
the back of sofas and turned into gold-plated dildos in China, so what? The
underlying truth is that China is an emerging economic power - that's why
the Western media has to keep claiming that its about to collapse every day
- its middle class has an exponentially increasing disposable income and
isnt afraid to use it, and the West is economically dead in the water. Let
them lie about it - its not going to change anything
What we need is to look beyond the gaming, the willful ignorance and the
tribalism which typifies what passes for analysis of the Gold market, look
beyond the geopolitics, social conditioning and the spin, and focus on what
all of this is actually telling us:
a. Something is badly wrong with the financial markets in the West, and the
pivot of economic activity is shifting eastwards. Investing in Mandarin
lessons will probably deliver greater lifetime returns than investing in
precious metals.
b. It is readily apparent that Gold remains a significant component of the
global financial system, but that cultural attitudes towards it vary, and
politicians are acutely aware of the emotional and psychological impact
which news about Gold has on their serfs populations. They will quite
clearly stop at nothing to ensure that their privileged position as top1% /
Reserve Currency / Too Big To Fail / Global Bully / Thief of Last Resort
continues unchallenged
c. As a price-related investment, Gold offers no greater chance of a
profitable outcome over any given time period than a Casino (and the odds
are similarly stacked against the punters), but as a store of value it is
unsurpassed. Check out the www.pricedingold.com charts and tell me it's not
so - since the Dotcom bust, since Lehmans, since Taper was announced and
since the New Year, Gold has been the leading performer amongst mainstream
asset classes. Is the price "capped" today at the 55.37-week seasonally
adjusted average? Is Yellen farting a good or bad thing for COMEX
inventories? Does the chart show a clear Teapot-and-Tulip formation with a
neckline at $1343? It doesn't matter - and looking at it in greater detail
is not going to reveal greater insight - because the simple fact is that,
come rain or shine, over any sane investment horizon longer than a gnats
attention span, Gold will maintain its value relative to other commodities,
and will outperform all and any pneumatically-inflatable paper assets
The world is full of snake-oil salesmen trying to peddle their magical
trading strategies, newsletters, worthless novelty silver buttons***, and
their attendant troupes of camp following preppers, fanbois and self-styled
prophets of the apicalypse- and it has always been so. On the other side we
have amoral and unprincipled financiers, corrupt politicians and predatory
commercial interests, lying through the teeth of sycophantic and compliant
media whilst a largely apathetic and dumbed-down populace gorges itself on
Next American Idol aand Britain's Got Talent
[*** One website whose research I have hitherto respected has just
published a short video clip in which its proprietor claims to be personally
90% invested in Silver, because Silver will outperform Gold and everything
else, Silver Silver Silver, did I mention Silver yet? The historical Gold:
Silver ratio is 15:1, that's where Silver is headed right now, buy Silver.
On their website ~ alongside their $1300 Insider tips subscription
service ~ they helpfully offer their newly-informed clientele a bulk-
purchase Silver Monster Box of 500 oz of coins - in which volume you would
imagine the premium over spot and bid-offer spread would be fairly thin.
However, the 'Resale' price they indicate for this item is more than 10%
below their Offer, and to rub salt into the wounds, the coins aren't even
available until early March. Compare this to the over-the-counter market for
retail Gold coins, where - as I have illustrated before - the real world
Bid - Offer spread is typically less than 5%, and it is hard to reach any
other conclusion than that this "research" is primarily a reflection of the
firm's business model, rather a sober analysis of reality: whatever happens
to the Silver price directionally or relative to Gold, they win, you lose.
cui bono indeed
But there appears to be no law against this kind of commercially-
agitated disinformation, nor any shortage of mugs willing to pay $1300 to
follow the latest Messiah or wait until March 12th to get a box of Silver
coins in the forlorn hope that price will have risen to $24+ / oz by then.
It is not your - or anyone else's - responsibility to protect these fools
from themselves and from those who would fleece them ]
Your challenge - our challenge - is to rise above it, navigate a way through
this bullshit and focus on the important things in life. Whether Chinese
imports were 1000 tons or 2000 tons is immaterial - and even if you somehow
proved that you were correct, some muppet would simply dismiss all Chinese
statistics as bogus, and if they weren't Chinese, would simply claim that
the charts were "made up by The Powers That Be" and that prices never
actually traded at those levels. People will believe what they have been
conditioned to bellieve - leave them to it
Keep up the good work; you surely realise by now that you are widely
respected and your pioneering research is read by a very large number of
people; don't fall into the Bron - Kid Dynamite- Trader Dan - Turd Ferguson
- Andrew Maguire "he said / she said" catfight - just keep on telling it how
you see it and ignore the backchat. There's far more to life than "being
right" , and you are one of the very few - maybe even the only -
Commentators on Gold who doesn't have a commercial angle to promote (unlike
certain Surrreal Asset peddlers and online silver button vendors ). Stick
with the integrity , remember why you are doing this in the first place, and
keep on keeping on.
The Truth is (probably) Out There - but a variety of vested interests are
trying to stop us hearing it, hardly anybody is listening, most of those who
are listening don't understand it, and the rest really don't care anyhow. "

我们琢磨，能不能把我名下那两分pending的EB3 485 转到猪头名下，这样省时省力。
当时我们做了很多网上的search，基本没有找到类似案例。而且著名的murthy.com的
FAQ明确说，这种更换主申请人interlink 485肯定不行。而猪头公司的移民律师却说值
得试试，鼓励猪头找他做。我们又打电话问了几个在这个版上广告的律师，其中一位明
确说不行，谢和范说行。这里我要给范律师一个的credit：我跟他解释完情况后，他说
，你这个不需要花钱找我做，你自己给移民局写封信，解释清楚，附上收据，寄过去就
可以了。谢律师收取一定费用，但价格很合理。搞笑的是忽悠事务所，我打电话去，接
线生说，律师不得空，你给我们免费咨询的那个邮箱发封电邮，说明情况，他们会告诉
你答案的。我傻呵呵地写了过去，过两天，得到一份标准回复：你的情况太复杂了，请
跟我们的驴师预约面谈，250刀一小时。WTF，这就开始宰人啦！
后来我们想，既然5个律师，3个yes2个no，值得一试。于是我就给USCIS打电话，用POJ
方法打到TSC。一共打了5次吧，第一次的一个男IO，人蛮好，我当时问的是，这样子做
是不是

YOu need to find a lab first. Then they will sponsor your postdoc fellowship
application. Otherwise, what are you going to propose to do?
Definitely there are opportunites for foreigners. But you need to define
your research area first.

My feeling is that getting a postdoctoral fellowship is much more difficult
than getting in a top-tie laboratory. To succeed in the postdoctoral
fellowship open to foreigner, one CNS or two CNS series journal is standard
publication record. Your postdoctoral sponsor and PhD advisor (who write
the recommendation letter for you) also need to be famous in the field.

多谢啊，希望三年前的记录不会有什么影响。
不知道以下几个问题我老婆该怎么回答：
1. 为什么当初你老公回来的时候你不和你老公一起签证出去？
（事实是当初我已经在荷兰拿到美国签证，回国后就一起去泰国玩了，也担心刚结婚会
导致签证无法通过）
2. 为什么你老公不回来和你一起签证？
3. 你去美国后干嘛？（我在邀请信里面写的是先前我们以为我们可以分开生活，但是
结婚5个月后觉得分开太痛苦了，现在觉得这个理由不太好）
4.为什么你们谈了3年恋爱，现在才结婚来签证？（可能有等我拿了h1b后才来签证的嫌
疑）
请各位支招啊！！！
