不冷的烟花# Heart - 心情好么?

其实妈妈硬伤很多,包括:只我一个小孩+我爸很早就去世了+退休多年+退休工资低+存
款不足10万
因为这样犹豫了很久,不敢让她贸然去尝试1000。这次我在心里作好了很可能不过的准
备,也劝她抱一颗平常心尽力而为就是。结果让我非常惊讶加惊喜,硬伤那么多还1000
能过真的算妈妈运气很好!
之前在版上看了不少签经,也受到不少鼓励,所以签好后也来贡献一下,同时也想给那
些和我妈妈差不多情况的人一些鼓励!
下面是非常简短的签经,算是大水过:
VO: 你到美国去干什么?
妈妈:我去美国探亲加旅游
VO: 你丈夫是什么时候去世的
妈妈:XXXX年XX月XX日
VO: 你有几个小孩?
妈妈:我就只有这一个女儿
VO: 你从哪里来?
妈妈:我从重庆XX(区)来
VO:(大概我妈说重庆话他没听清,回头问另外的工作人员,然后转过来继续问)你们重
庆XX(区)有一个作家你认不认识?
妈妈:你问的什么问题呀?我不懂(她没承想会问这个问题,不过还好没有完全愣在那
里)
VO:(自己笑了,递上条子)你通过了
我给签证官的信(用别人的模板修改的):
To whom it may concern,
My name is XXXX, I’ve come to U.S. and have been studying in
Chemistry Department of University of XX in Texas for X years and I
would like to invite my mother, XXX, to come visit me and attend my
graduation commencement of Master of Science in Chemistry in December
2011. I went back to China to visit my family in June 2009 but I am now
busy with my researches and have no time to go back to China again. My
mom will stay with me for about 6 months. She will pay the air tickets
for this trip, and I will pay all the living expenses and insurance
during her visit.
I will continue to pursue my PhD’s degree in Chemistry in University
of XX after I get my Master’s degree, and I will be busy with school and
research in the middle of a semester. So I plan to take my mom on some
short trips during my holiday vacation. I want to take her to New York
City during the winter break for she must be excited to see the Statue
of Liberty and hear the carol of the bells at the Rockefeller Center.
Next spring break, I plan to drive south to Austin, Houston and San
Antonio so we can visit the Texas Capitol, the NASA space center and
walk on the pretty river walk together.
My mother grew up and lived all her life in a small town and she
used to be a little scared when I first encouraged her to go on a trip.
However, little by little, from Chongqing, Chengdu, to Shanghai,
Hangzhou, Beijing, Harbin, now America, she goes further and further
away from home to see this world and I’m really proud of her and happy
to see she is enjoying traveling around! And this is her biggest travel
plan ever, I hope this time her little dream will come true and she will
go back to China with lots of novel and wonderful stories from America
to tell her relatives and friends, including my 85-year-old grandma who
will temporarily stay with my uncle while my mother visits me.
My mother is the greatest mother in this world and she is always
being very supportive and proud for my pursuit of higher education. I
haven’t seen her for 2 years since my last visit back in China and I
really miss her very much. I believe it would be a wonderful reunion if
she could get B-2 visa and join the joyful moment on my Master’s
graduation commencement!
Thank you very much for your time and I will appreciate your
kindness and help! With all my regards, I wish all the best things in
the world to you and your family.
Yours sincerely,
XXXX
我给妈妈寄材料时就准备了两个文件夹:一个只放了材料清单本身和邀请信(就是下面
的2,3,4订在一起),这个交材料的时候交上去;另一个文件夹里有其他的所有材料,
妈妈自己拿着,问到什么给什么,所幸一个都没有问。VO只看了材料清单和2,3,没有
看4,就开始提问
材料清单:
1. Receipt of Visa Application Fee(签证申请费收据)
2. Invitation letter from University(学校的官方邀请函)
3. A letter to the American Embassy Official(给签证官的信)
4. A letter to mom(给妈妈的信)
5. passport invitee(护照)
6. ID of invitee(身份证)
7. Residence booklet (户口本)
8. Title of housing(房产证)
9. Medical insurance card(医保卡)
10. Notarial Certificate of relationship(亲子关系公证)
11. Certificate of No Criminal Conviction(无犯罪记录证明)
12. Retirement pension of invitee(退休工资本)
13. Bank statement of invitee(银行存款单,订在一起)
14. Paycheck of inviter(我的工资单)
15. Bank statement of inviter(我的近三月银行对账单)
16. W-2 form of inviter(我的税表)
17. I-20 copy of inviter(我的I-20表复印件)
18. Copy of passport/visa/ I-94 of inviter(我的护照/签证/出入境表复印件,
订在一起)
19. Copy of SSN/Drivier’s Licence/student ID/insurance card of
inviter (我的SSN/驾照/学生证/医保卡复印件,订在一起)
20. Unofficial transcript of inviter (我的成绩单,从学校网站上打印的)
21. Utility statement of inviter (我的近三月电费单,打算如果VO问我的具体
地址就让老妈递给他,说这上面有)
22. Photos(家庭照片,包括老妈跳舞表演队的照片)
自己总结了一下可能水过的原因:
1, 那天是万圣节,过节VO心情可能会比较好。其实预约的时候没想这么多,只是想约
到10月底,多点时间准备
2, 妈妈人看上去挺老实的,对常规问题(包括DS160上的内容)比较熟悉,回答问题也没
有犹豫(我和她问答练习了多遍,从最开始嗯嗯啊啊一句话都讲不清楚,到后来又开始
死背书,而且背得牛头不对马嘴、答非所问,到慢慢地开始熟悉一点、动脑筋想想问题
问的是什么、该怎样回答,真的很不容易!P.S.我一开始就让妈妈用重庆话练习,因为
她本来就讲不太清楚了,再加上硬要用普通话的话,难度系数实在太高了)
3, 材料清单交上去,VO能够一目了然,知道妈妈是有备而来
4, 因为VO看了我给签证官的信,猜想VO是不是对妈妈一开始不敢走出家门,到后来爱上旅行并且目
的地越来越远的勇气可嘉所感动,纯属瞎猜噢:P
5, 刚好碰到的VO比较nice,或者他对我的家乡刚好有点印象,不然很难解释最后的那
个提问
最后想替妈妈征征看有没有12月10号(DS160上说预计12月10号过来,不知道前后几天入
关会不会有麻烦)左右从国内飞DFW的飞友,主要是路上搭个伴,让她不那么孤单。最好
是北京出发(比较便宜,从西雅图转机),上海也行。我还没有订票,不过目前问价半年
往返都在$1090左右。
谢谢大家!
更新:已购机票,orbitz半年往返$1100,退票无退款,改签$300不到一点
12月8日Continental878 PVG->LAX 转UA6296->DFW
诚心求飞友!!!
款不足10万
