在移民論壇受益不少,所以也想把自己的經曆與大家分享.我和LP本周剛從多倫多回來,分別拿到了H1/H4的2年半的MULTIPLE ENTRIES.我們都是從非學生簽證轉的F1.(B2-F1/F2-H1/H4).所以去之前還是挺擔心的,因為聽說簽證官比較反感這類由B2轉其他的.我們還是很幸運的,加上簽證官也比較NICE. 大致步驟如下:
要提前6個星期在網上預約www.nvars.com. 我們是早起了幾個早晨才約上的.
我們的APPOINTMENT是周二10點. 周一去SCOTIABANK交了$100*2的APPLICATION FEE. 銀行沒有那個DEPOSIT FORM,要自己先打印好帶去.然後下午去使館實地考察了一下. 因為擔心DOWNTOWN的TRAFFIC,周二早上8點就到了.早到的另一個好處是確保有派車位.(使館對麵有一個PUBLIC PARKING LOT, $3.5/HALF HOUR, OR $13MAX PER DAY.)
10點進去先安檢.
先由一工作人員檢查必備材料:PASSPORTs, DS-156s, DS-157s, MAPLE CARDs, ORIGINAL H1 APROVAL NOTICE (I-797),ORIGINAL H4 APPROVAL NOTICE (I-797).
然後排對,等被叫到窗口,把上訴材料收走(H4給退了回來),工作人員核對了PASSPORT,DS-156/157的INFO.
再等,直到被叫,按指模.
第三次被叫,就是INTERVIEW了.那個LADY很NICE,說話也很溫和. 隻問了我們最初入境的時間,目的,待了多久之類的問題.再問了我現在在公司做什麽.我們準備的幾個PACKAGE的材料,一個也沒要看.就這麽過了.她告訴我們,她會ISSUE VISA給我們.給了兩個紅紙貼,說第二天下午2:30-3:30來取.
周三下午我們按時又來到使館,排對等了一會兒,就取件了.這次隻在外麵的窗口取,不用進到使館裏麵.拿到PASSPORT和VISA,有一些意外,沒想到會給我們MULTIPLE ENTRIES, 我們想可能是因為我們有加拿大的PR的緣故.H1 ORIGINAL APPROVAL NOTICE也給退了回來.
我們準備的材料,是參考以前的貼子,分別放了幾個信封.我們把能想到的都帶上了,不一定用的上,僅供參考.
