背景：
3.23被拒一次 F1，福建户口，本硕专业不对口，工作经历和硕士专业也不对口，中间有一年gap
预约的早上九点半，八点十分来到友友推荐的丰巢储存柜，一天五块钱，记下开柜码，放入手机和耳机，走向入口，再也不用被门口大妈收30块韭菜费了。大概八点二十，进去排队，安检排队很快，过安检以后录指纹，开始了漫长的排队之旅。我到的时候s型队伍已经排了三排，开了三个窗口，20号最左灰发大爷（就是第一次拒我的签证官），中间19号胖胖的白女，右边17号恶魔胡子叔（虽然胡子剃差不多了）从8点45开始，队伍进展缓慢，左边20窗口大爷效率最高，三五分钟一个，通过率也不错，至少六七成，中间白女喜欢问问题，爱打字记录，稍微繁琐一点，左边胡子叔，面谈起步十分钟，check和refuse很多，通过率不到一半。让我印象深刻的是一家五口，爷爷奶奶，父母，儿子办旅游签，被胡子叔问了半小时，最后给了个check，不知道旅游签能check些啥。到了十点半，左边开了第四个窗口，年轻白人小哥，十点45，又开了一个，后两个窗口通过率和速度都很可观，让人心动。队伍前进的速度终于变快了。快轮到我的时候，看着胡子叔面签的人快结束了，于是心中祈祷再拖一会儿，让我去其他窗口，实在不想面谈半小时被check。精彩的部分来了：前面窗口出现了一个空位，仔细一看，正是上次拒我的灰白头发的大爷，真是惊喜又刺激！
说到我排队遇上之前拒我的签证官，我决定主动出击，一上去说how are you officer? You rejected me last time, there weeks ago, did you remember?
他看了看我，面带微笑刷了护照，说sorry, I cannot interview you this time due to my rejection last time. 然后我和现场维持秩序的小姐姐说明后，安排我去隔壁19号窗口排队，又等了十分钟。
Me : Morning, officer(递进去护照和i20）
Vo: Morning, what's your school?
Me: I plan to go to xx university which is located in xx. My major will be xx which is about xx. I will learn credits courses including xx at master advanced program, a pathway. I will get support and guidance. After pathway, I will continue studying in the master program. All the credits I get from pathway program will count towards my master degree.
Vo : (打断)So it's a pathway program?
Me: Yes, it's also a part of my master program, I will learn credits courses including xx. You can see this letter from the university's office.
Vo: Show me the letter （手递学校解释信，解释说我pathway成绩达标以后继续升读硕士学位，因为i20有效时间只有三个月，所以叫学校开解释信）
Vo：看解释信，一直打字
Me：（怎么能浪费大好机会，继续说） I will learn xxx. The total credits I need is 30 to get my master degree, I will learn xxx, xxx（具体课程的名字） and some other courses.
Vo: hold on (打断我，继续打字）
Me: 等待中
Vo：（打字完毕）It says you will learn academic English in your pathway
Me: yes, it's also a part of pathway program, which will earn me 3 credits counting towards my master program. I have a English test score, Duolingo, 110, which is equal as IELTS between 6.5 to 7. （给她看成绩单，她挥手说不要） You can see in my i20 said my English ability is proficiency.
Vo: Do you have your resume?
Me: yes (拿出来递给她）
Vo：Do you have a bachelor degree?
Me: Yes, I got my bachelor degree on xxx university located in xx province xx city. My major was xxx.
Vo: （打断）enough, hold on(看我简历，开始打字）
Vo：这是本科吗（飙中文）
Me：yes
Vo：继续打字
Vo：How many universities did you apply?
Me: a dozen. I applied xxx, xxx, xxx, xxx university. Due to my academic background and GPA, I received offers from xxx, xxx, xxx university located in xx state, xx city. My final decision is xxx university is because the major, I found it really interesting and great potential nowadays, I believe it has a bright prospect. I have great passion on it. For other universities, I was offered by xxx major
Vo: （打断）OK, hold on, please(开始打字）
Vo：Who will spornsor you?
Me: my mom will pay for my tuition and some other expenses, she is a principle in a primary school. Her annual income is xxx.
Vo:开始打字，打了很久，我非常紧张，生怕被check，因为我前面连续两个人（一个大学一个硕士）被check，除了一个去美国读高中的妹妹。面带微笑掩盖我的慌张，手握拳按台面上以防被发现手抖，心跳加速，大概三分钟以后，连future plan都没有问我，直接说：congratulations, your visa application had been approved.给了我红黄单。我如释重负，说：thank you officer, God bless you 走了出去，但是整个人还处于混沌状态，大口呼吸。
全程十分钟左右，一半时间都在看她打字，非常紧张，但是要保持笑容，让自己相信自己。
