历时61天，终于Issue，催签经历分享

6.3广州面签，具体过程不太记得，但VO问的问题十分简单，下面是回忆录……

ME: Good afternoon!
VO: Good afternoon, nice to see u, give me your DS-160...
ME: Submit DS-160 document.
VO: You are now have a job?
ME: Yes.
VO: Tell me about your job.
ME: Do you know UAV (突然傻逼地说出这样一句话)?
VO: No.
ME: It's unmannered aerial vehicle...(看VO一脸茫然，突然站在VO旁边的小哥对VO嘀咕了几句), it's just a plane flying with a camera and can take pictures or record videos in the sky.
VO: I see... so what's your major?
ME: ECE... Electrical and Computer Engineering.
VO: I mean what you want to learn specifically.
ME: Embedded Systems.
VO: Can I have your study plan?
ME: Sorry, sir, I just filled my study plan online, and I forgot to print it out (我紧张了……之前在网上只是看过选课，真没想到要带study plan)。
VO: Okay...(指着我手里的文件)Is that your resume?
ME: Yes...
VO: Give it to me.
ME: OK...
VO: 噼里啪啦一顿敲键盘。
VO: That should be done, you can get your visa after 4 weeks...
ME: You mean a month?
VO: Yes.
ME: Thank you, Good day!
VO: Thanks, bye-bye.

面签完成后，痛苦的等待历程开始了……

我粗线条地继续忙自己的工作，30天后一看status还特么是Administrative Processing，于是催签正式开始！

7.7日通过网上填写反馈给GuangzhouNIVI@state.gov发信——模板回复(但这个回复来自于使馆工作人员的工作信箱——一定是太忙弄错了，但后面起到了关键作用！)。


To whom it may concern,


I understand this is the crest-time of visa application.However, 42 days passed and my visa has no status update information, what'smore, I have already booked a plane ticket (August 10th), I am wonderingwhether you can help to accelerate my visa application process.

7月23日再次询问，依然是模板回复，这个时候美国签证系统崩溃了，我按捺住自己，7月28日发现自己的VISA status更新了！不过更新日期是7月24日——可能跟系统问题有关系，随后一连几天没更新！完全不符合第一天更新，第二天Issue的节奏呀！

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am one of the F-1 applicants on June. 3rd, and I hadn't been told to submitadditional materials after the interview, the VO is nice and told me to waitabout 4 weeks. However, 45 days later (Jul. 16th), the embassy emailed me tosubmit supplementary materials, and I submitted the required material on Jul.17th, then I received confirmation from the emabassy, but my visa applicationstatus is still under "Administrative Processing" with the date neverchanging.

I booked the flight on Aug. 10th, and I also mailed my school officer to verifyif I can postpone my enrollment date or not, it turns out that I cannot, Inother words, if I cannot arrive in time (Aug. 19th), I cannot attend Cornellthis fall. I understand that VISA Officers are very busy during this period oftime, I am also tortured by the endless waiting, after all, my applicationprocess has been lasted for nearly 50 days.

I am wondering whether VOs can tell me how is my application process going andestimated waiting time, after all, I need some time to prepare for my abroadstudy, and I really hope that I can squeeze time to see my sick mother. Thankyou so much for your understanding.

Sincere appreciation to all visa officers' efforts.

NOTE: Official school e-mail about the starting date and the flight ticket informationis attached for your kind reference.

Sincerely,

Wancheng

7月29日再次询问，依然是模板回复，但我按捺不住自己了，给之前的使馆工作人员的工作信箱发信，连续两天收到大使馆答复——不过不一样——一封我是官方填写反馈发过去的——告诉我还在行政生理，一封是我发给工作人员的——告诉我行政审查已经通过，两封回信时间只差8个小时！

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Sir/Madam;

I heard that something is wrong with the VISA database system, have you everfixed it? I have been waiting anxiously for 56 days. Could you please tell mewhat's my visa application status now?

I booked the flight ticket on Aug. 10th, also, the university orientation (Aug.19th) is coming soon, please help to pull me out of this torturing waiting.Really hope that I can still have time to go home and look after my mom.

Thanks for your attention and assistance!

NOTE: School officer's letter about starting date is attached for your kindreference.

Sincerely,

Wancheng Zhou

发给工作人员的信如下：

Dear Officer,

Sorry to bother you, but I really don't know  who I shouldturn to.

I am one of the new F-1 visa applicants in June 3rd, and the kindofficer told me to wait about 4 weeks. I was not told to submit supplementarydocuments. However, 45 days later, the embassy asked me to submitadditional Study Plan & Mentor's CV. I only submitted the Study Plan(course selection included) since Cornell's M.Eng program a one-yearprogram which is course-based (no specific mentor).

I wait anxiously for another two weeks, and my visa status wasupdated on July. 24th.  56 days have passed and School OrientationDeadline is approaching, but I still don't know how is my visaapplication going. I really don't want to lose the chance to enter Cornellbecause of the possible VISA delay, especially when I heard that the VISAdatabase crushed last week.

Would you please tell me how my visa application is goingand how long I should wait approximately because I may need to cancel theflight ticket.

Name:                           

DOB:                           

NOTE: School officer's letter and flight ticket is attached foryour kind reference.

Thank you for your time and eagerly looking forward to yourresponse!

Sincerely,

给工作人员发信后，使馆回复我通过了，但此时此刻，CEAC查询到的status依然是Administrative Processing。于是昨天再次给使馆发信，抄送工作人员。刚查官网，更新成Issue了！

Case Creation Date:	03-Jun-2014
Status Updated Date:	03-Aug-2014

Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it in more than 10 working days, please see the webpage for contact information of the embassy or consulate where you submitted your application.


下面不知道什么时候拿到护照了！因为现在查护照状态依然是“你所输入的护照号码并没有状态”。有经验的同学分享下几天后才能拿到护照。

直接崩溃了啊，这段时间！！

再说一下时间结点：7月28日更新AP（官网查到是7.24）、8月1日更新AP（官网查到是7.28）、8月3日更新Issue（官网查到也是8.3）

祝福所有被check的童鞋早日拿到护照！
