时间到了四月份,相信此刻很多学生都在准备美国留学签证。下面,就将这份超全的美国签证指南送给大家,希望对大家有所帮助。
首先,来了解下美国签证的最新政策:
据新华社报道:美国联邦政府3月30日公布的文件显示,国务院拟要求美国签证申请者提交社交媒体用户名等多项个人信息。
文件显示,新规定要求签证申请者提供过去5年在指定社交媒体平台上的个人信息;申请者也可以自行选择提供非指定社交媒体平台上的个人信息。此外,签证申请者还被要求提供过去5年曾使用的电话号码、电子邮箱地址、国际旅行记录以及是否曾违反移民法、是否曾被驱逐出境、是否有家庭成员参与恐怖主义活动等信息。
据美国《纽约时报》报道,新规定针对的指定社交媒体平台有20家。其中大部分设在美国,包括脸书、推特、领英等;俄罗斯社交媒体平台VK、比利时交友平台Twoo和拉脱维亚社交问答平台Ask.fm;被列入的国内社交平台为:豆瓣、QQ、新浪微博、腾讯微博。这次推出的新规定将适用于几乎所有美签申请者。
据美国国务院估计,将有71万移民签证申请者和1400万非移民签证申请者受到新规定的影响。外交、公务等特定类型签证申请者不受新规影响。目前新规尚未生效。美国国务院在文件中表示,现面向公众征集对新规的意见,即日起至5月29日止,为期60天。新规施行前还须得到美国行政管理和预算局批准。
签证说明:
F-1签证
最常见的学生签证类型。如果你获得美国政府承认的学校(包括获得认证的美国大学或学院、私立中学或获得批准的英语学习项目等等)就读,应申请F-1签证。此外,如果每周学习课程超过18小时,也应申请F-1签证。(官方解释)
根据美国法律,外国学生不得进入公立小学(从幼儿园到八年级)或政府资助的成人教育项目就读。因此,F-1签证不适用于此类学校。
M-1签证
如果想在美国的非学术或职业教育机构进行学习或培训,应申请M-1签证。
A类、E类、F-2类、G类、H-4类、J-2类、L-2类、M-2类或其他衍生非移民签证持有人可以进入公立小学和中学就读。
申请材料:
如需申请F类或M类签证,应缴纳160美元申请费并提交下列材料:
1、非移民签证电子申请表(DS-160)。
2、前往美国旅行的有效护照,有效期需超出在美预定停留期至少六个月(享受豁免的特殊协议国除外,那些都是美帝盟友,咱不稀罕)。如果护照中包含的人数多于一人,那每个签证申请人都需要提交单独的申请。
3、一张在最近六个月内拍摄的2英寸x2英寸证件照(5.1厘米x5.1厘米)(照片提交不符合标准的照片延缓签证申请流程,当然护照照片也可以)。如有疑问可在线咨询顾问老师。
拍照时表情要自然,如下图所示:
4、指纹采集,面谈时,大使馆或总领事馆会采集签证申请人的指纹。在签证申请流程中,一般在面谈环节前,通常会进行快速的无油墨数字指纹扫描。
5、美国学校或项目提供的I-20表。SEVIS(I-901)缴费收据(证明申请人已缴纳SEVIS费用)。
除上述材料以外,申请人还应出示面谈预约单,证明你已从这一服务渠道预约面谈。还可以向签证官提供其他支持性文件。
如何申请:
1、完成非移民签证电子申请表(DS-160)。
必须拥有自己的DS-160签证申请表。在去大使馆或总领事馆进行面谈之前,要通过在线方式完成并提交DS-160表。预约面谈时需要DS-160表确认页上的条形码编号。必须在线提交DS-160表并在去使领馆面谈的时候带好打印清楚的确认信。大使馆或总领事馆不接受手写或机打填写的申请表,如果没有DS-160表的确认页,您将无法参加面谈。
在DS-160表上进行电子签名,即表明您确认所有信息均准确无误。填写任何虚假信息可能导致您丧失入境资格。请仔细检查,确定每个问题均已完整作答,并且所有回答均准确无误。
DS-160表格填写指南
●预约面谈的使馆/领事馆,必须与DS-160表格开头选择面谈地点的使馆/领事馆保持一致。如需帮助可在线咨询顾问老师。
●除按要求以英文(拼音)和中国文字填写全名外(中国文字在表格中标明为“本国文字”),所有问题必须以英语作答。请注意:你必须填写中文全名及相对应的中文电报码。如需帮助可在线咨询顾问老师。
●填写DS-160表时需要上传一张最近六个月内的照片。
●在填写申请表的过程中,如果未操作时长超过20分钟,申请流程将被终止。除非已记录申请编号或已将申请存入电脑文件,否则必须重新开始。请记下页面右上角显示的申请编号。如果需要在提交申请前关闭浏览器,则需要使用该申请编号继续进行申请。如需帮助可在线咨询顾问老师。
●DS-160表格完成之后,会生成标有字母加数字格式的条形码确认页。并在去使领馆面谈的时候带好打印清楚的确认信。
●打印标有条形码的确认页之后,请点击浏览器上的“后退”按钮,然后将DS-160表格副本发送到你的邮箱。文件为PDF格式,需使用Adobe Acrobat查看或打印。
2、缴纳签证申请费。
银行和支付方式/支付签证费:在大多数情况下,无论是否获发签证,都需缴纳可机读签证(MRV)申请费,并且费用不予退款、不得转让。根据所申请的签证类型,签证费用也有所区别。
注意:申请人允许重新预约的次数有限。妥善安排预约面谈的时间以免额外缴纳签证申请费。签证申请费用一经缴纳不予退款。如有疑问可在线咨询顾问老师。
支付签证费用说明:
可以通过银行的柜台、自助柜员机、网银等多种方式支付签证申请费用。这几种方式都将转入在线申请系统进行支付。所以你必须提前在申请网站上注册并选择“安排面谈时间”,以进入支付程序。详细步骤如下:
第1步:登录在线申请系统,创建个人资料。有助于保证支付的金额准确无误并且及时接收,以便后续的预约工作顺利进行。签证申请服务价格以美元(USD)标示,应缴纳费用以人民币(RMB)标示。
第2步:点击 “安排面谈时间”(Schedule My Appointment)选项。依次完成以下步骤:选择移民/非移民签证、使馆/领事馆、签证申请归类和签证类别。
第3步:进入支付界面后,点击“支付方式”(Payment Options):在线支付、在银行柜台办理现金支付、自动柜员机支付。
签证申请费用对应的人民币(RMB)金额取决于美国国务院发布的领事汇率。如未按照签证类型正确缴纳费用,可能无法预约面谈。
第4步:根据需要选择支付方式,并缴纳签证申请费用。在支付签证费时,系统将发出提示:只有缴纳签证费用才能开始申请流程,并且这笔费用一经支付不予退款。缴纳费用并不构成申请人与签证机构之间的合同关系,也不保证签证能够获批。无论申请结果如何,已经缴纳的签证申请费均无法退还。
第5步:保存收据编号。支付流程完成后,请打印收据编号并妥善保管。一旦丢失,将无法替换。如不提供收据编号,也无法进行预约。
第6步:签证费用的支付流程顺利完成,现在即可通过收据编号预约面谈。
支付方式:
▲在线支付
请注意,银联借记卡持有人将支付0.3%的服务费。这笔费用是银联征收,而不是 CGI Stanley 征收。最方便的付款方式是由中国本地的银行发行的借记卡在网上支付。但该系统不接受信用卡。一旦登录到你的个人资料,就可以通过借记卡支付。如果没有借记卡选择其他的付款方式。支付流程完成后,安排预约面谈时间。
▲银行柜台办理现金支付
以中信银行为例:你可以在中信银行的任何一网点使用现金支付非移民签证(NIV)申请费。去银行之前,必须登录预约网站个人资料页面,打印相应的美国签证收费单。支付签证费时,携带的护照和打印的签证付款单。不要打印多份同样的美国签证收费单。
支付流程完成后,打印收据编号并妥善保管。一旦丢失,将无法替换。如不提供收据编号,也无法进行预约。
▲自动柜员机支付
在缴纳费用之前,首先登录在线系统创建个人资料,并打印自动柜员机的交易单号。使用自动柜员机时,需输入支付卡信息、自动柜员机交易单号, 并从菜单中选择“缴费”(Fee Payment)选项。 选中此项后,应选择“美国签证费用”(US Visa Fee)作为支付选项,然后根据提示选择签证类型.支付完成后,系统将打印一张包含“签证费收据”的收据,妥善保管,以便通过在线系统或预约中心安排预约。
支付流程完成后,请打印收据编号并妥善保管。一旦丢失,将无法替换。如不提供收据编号,也无法进行预约。
3、预约面谈。
无论是通过在线系统还是预约中心进行预约,都必须提供缴费收据上打印的签证费收据号。使用签证费收据号可即刻开始预约面谈流程。要预约面谈,需提供以下三条信息:
