大致说说我们的具体情况,我在国内读研,女朋友今年七月底赴英读研,因为走得匆忙所以第一次签证只给了两个多月,以至于她在那边没有办JC局注册,而且在九月底的时候她把护照寄出给home office续签了,至今还没有回到手中。我们就用她续签时准备的那些材料和收到的home office的回执作为代替。这一点是我们这个case中和别人不一样的,也是最具参考价值的。我们遇到的这种情况并不少见,可是真正向我们这样遇到它还坚定去签的却并不多,我相信一定是这种坚定和真诚打动了签证官。想到我们在准备签证时打电话,自己心里担心的要死,也知道对方担心的要死,但是都不说出来,怕对方担心,还畅想着等我我去的时候要给她带这带那…也许这份体恤与面对困难时的乐观,让上帝看到了,便最终降福于我们。呵呵,扯远了…言归正传。除了把能准备的材料都准备之外,我还给签证官写了一封亲笔信,表达想要去看女朋友的强烈愿望,并把她签证未回的情况写在VAF-1表中的倒数第二页。亲笔信的最大作用是为签证材料定一个感情基调,要把签证官当成是一个可以尊重的朋友。这也是我们后来得出的结论,就是每一个去签证的人都有各自的情况,这些都很正常,有些别人认为是必须提供的资料没有不要慌张,认为自己就是很特殊的。其实可以这么想,正是因为这种特殊让你获得了与别人不同的表现机会,如果你表现的足够好,足够诚恳,那说不定反而会使签证变的顺利呢。把自己的情况说明白了,能提供的材料都提供全这就够了。VAF-1上有这么一句话:It is better to explain why you do not have a document than to submit a false document in its place.精神就是告诉大家一定要诚实,签证官也有感情,如果你手头上的资料不全但是你诚实,签证官会想办法帮你;但如果你不诚实,他想帮你都帮不了啦。
