下周一又要去US Consulate面签了,昨天晚上又是一通准备。如果通过的话,打算10号是在Cookeville的第一个工作日。17号是在Stoughton的第一个工作日。五月一日回来休假。

 
  2月3日被拒签后,第二天就再次预约,一排就排到4月3日。中间发过几次传真过去,结果在发了第二封后,对方说偶这不属于人道主义原因,不能加速。只好等……  TNND,website上明明说除了人道主义原因外,紧急商务也可以。
 
  早上,Casey在MSN上说希望我能往后delay 2周,这样我订购的设备将基本全部组装完毕,就可以直接在自己的设备上training了,也不知道能否拿到visa?现在考虑也早了点。其实过完五一去也蛮好。和KC聊过以后才想起来另一桩事:DPCA愣是怀疑我这里的检测结果,非要欧洲的IFTS(在法国)来我这里认可,初步约定5月7、8、9,但如果我推迟去的话,法国佬这里又没人接待。最近咋就那么多鸟事儿呢?郁闷ing……
 
  哪位VO周一会面试我呢?偶先给你烧香了,别再找茬了……
