两个多月前,经版上考古,发现邮寄纽约申请旅游签证耗时少不到三周,多不过两月,
遂抱着侥幸心理,估计两个多月应该够了。谁知道最后还是亲自去领事馆跑一趟
withdraw,白搭许多时间,精力和汽油钱。
经历:
10/24 寄出
10/25 寄到
12/14 寄到第7周,发信询问http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/new-york.asp,当天得回复如下:

两个多月还要再加一个月,顿时心中千万草泥马奔腾。算了,还等着用护照。这地方不
去也没什么。
12/28
早上把暴雪埋了的车刨出来,5小时后到纽约。
12:30 pm 到了领事馆排队。排队的地方在朝向Avenue of the Americas的楼门口对着
的街边灯柱下。灯柱上有个牌子写着"NO STANDING"。就是在这个NO STANDING底下开始
站排。
1:00 pm 领进去安检。这里必须赞一下安检黑人小哥,微笑有礼貌,让我一肚子火消了
一半,举拳难打笑脸人嘛。
1:30 pm 去窗口说明来意。白人大妈很牛很拽很不耐烦,好像一切都是我的错。真不知
道这自信从哪里来。
2:30 pm 拿到护照,没有签证。护照居然没有丢,真是万幸。丢护照在美国驻渥太华大
使馆经历过一回,怕了。
最后十分感谢遇到的一对夫妻,比我来得早却让我排在前面。祝您二位withdraw成功,
一切顺利。
另感谢其他版友发表的经历,十分受用。 |
