美国签证政策

The United States regulations require the consular officer who considers your visa application to assume that you want to immigrate to or remain permanently in the U.S.  In order to qualify for an F-1 or J-1 visa, you must prove that your visit to the U.S. will be temporary in nature 和 that you will return to your country after completion of your activities here.  领事官员称之为非移民意图。  The way you can try to prove your nonimmigrant intent is by giving the consular officer documents that indicate that you have strong ties to your country.  The stronger your financial, employment or family ties to your country, the more likely it is that the consular officer will believe that you intend to return home.
