Beginner

A: have you applied for you visa to go to study in the united states yet?

B: yes, I have. I handed in my application fomp3 two weeks ago and I’m going for an interview next week.

A: good luck! I’ve heard it’s very difficult to get a visa to go to the united states.

B; the application fomp3 are quite complicated. It took me a few hours to fill it out. The hardest thing was getting all the necessary documents. That took almost two weeks.

A: what kind of documents did you need to present?

B: I had to show document relating to my financial status and of course my education, because I want a student visa.

A: why do you think so many people have their applications rejected?

B; I think that they don’t complete the fomp3s correctly or they don’t include all the required documents. The embassy is very strict about it. You have to be quite careful.

A; why are they stricter whit Chinese people than with other nationalities?

B: that’s simple. Many people break the rules regarding their visa conditions.

A: good morning. I’d just like to ask you a few questions about your visa application.

B: sure. …yes, that’s all correct.

A: thank you. For you student visa, we need evidence of your financial status for the last years. In your application, you only included it for four years.

B: really? Let me check if I have the document here…yes, here is the document you need. I’m sorry, I must have forgotten to make a copy of it for you.

A: thank you. That’s fine. The document relating to your education are fine. The offer from the university is conditional on your English language proficiency test result. Do you have that yet.

B: not yet. I took the test last weekend. The results will not be available for another two or three weeks.

A; ok. Everything else is in order. I’ll be happy to give you a student visa, valid for the duration of your course, when you bring me a certificate showing the result of your language test.

b: thank you very much. You don’t need any other document from me to process my application?

A: none. Make an application to see me when you receive your results. When you bring the certificate to me, bring you passport too. Then I can give you the visa.

B; thank you very much.

A: glad to help.
