美国签证面谈当日必知常识
我们了解到对于一些申请人来说签证面谈是个非常紧张的过程,但是如果您了解了面谈当天的签证步骤，将使得您的面谈变得较为轻松。
当您来到使馆东门后，武警将迎接您并且查看您的身份证件/护照。然后您将经过安检区，在那里使馆门卫将会要求您在面谈期间暂时留下您的手机和其它电子物品。
路过位于左侧的由Jeff Koons设计的颜色鲜艳的郁金香现代艺术雕塑后，您将步入签证等待大厅。
进入签证等待大厅后，使馆的迎宾员将引导您在收件窗口排队，在那里您需要将您的申请材料递交给坐在13号和14号窗口的工作人员。然后您会得到一个有颜色的卡片并在工作人员指引下排队做指纹扫描。在这之后，您需要到大厅的另一边等候与领事官员面谈。
面谈过程中，请您不要紧张。我们理解签证面谈是个重要的时刻，但您一定要尽量放松，说得清楚些，直接回答领事官员问的问题。(提示：当您站在面谈窗口时，在您的左侧有一个话筒)。获取签证申请过程示范，请您点击该网页右侧的视频链接。
一些额外提示：
−一楼和二楼均设有卫生间。
−冷水机位于等待大厅的东南角(即悬挂于屋顶的徐冰艺术品“猴子捞月”下方)。我们为在大厅内等待面谈的申请人免费提供饮水杯和纯净水。
−天热的时候，等待大厅内的温度要比室外温度低很多，因此以防万一您可以带一件外套或长袖衫。
−在等待大厅的一侧设有专供老人，孕妇及体弱的申请人休息的长凳。
我们希望以上信息会对您有所帮助并预祝您签证面谈成功!

We realize the visa interview can be an extremely nervous experience for many applicants, but if you know what to expect on your appointment day, it may help make the interview more comfortable:
When you enter the Embassy’s east gate, you will be greeted by a People’s Armed Police guard who will check your I.D./passport. You will then walk through a security check area staffed by Embassy guards, who will request that you temporarily leave your phone and other electronic equipment in the security area during your interview.
You will then walk briefly outside to the main visa waiting hall, passing the brightly colored modern art sculpture, “Tulips”, designed by Jeff Koons, on your left.
Once you are inside the visa waiting hall, you will be directed by the Embassy’s greeters to line up at the intake window where you drop off your documents to Embassy staff currently seated at windows #13 and #14. You will then be given a color card and directed to line up to have your fingerprints taken. Afterwards, you will then be directed to the other side of the hall to wait for your interview with a Consular Officer.
During the interview itself, don’t be nervous! We understand it’s an important moment, but remember to relax, speak clearly and answer the Consular Officer’s questions directly. Note that there is a microphone to your left as you stand at the window. For a demonstration of the application process, please click on the video link on the right side of this page.
A few additional reminders:
-Bathrooms are located on the first and second floor.
-There is a water cooler in the corner of the room, next to Xu Bing’s art piece hanging from the ceiling, “Monkeys Grasping for the Moon”. Cups are provided and water is available for free for all guests in the waiting room.
-On very hot days, the temperature in the waiting room can be significantly lower than the temperature outside, so you may want to bring a sweater or long sleeve shirt just in case.
-For elderly, pregnant or infirm applicants, there is also a bench towards the side of the room for general use.
I hope this is helpful and all the best with your visa interview!
