Make people feel at ease.2. finally entered the Visa Office
That morning, just in the broadcast of Olympic torch relay, I was in the rain early shopping to the Visa Office to wait in line, not live to see.
The visa in jing'an district, Shanghai No. 188 Wujiang Road (near Shek Mun Road) jing'an new era building, at the door. I at first, the time is 7 points difference. It is said that during the peak there is specialized to spend money to find people on behalf of Queuing. An hour later, the latter has more than 30 years, people. Embassy entrance many ticket agents, insurance agents, with different prices but projects like advertising. Two mutual insurance companies staff, evil noisy jieduan.More than 8 points, the Embassy staff out of order, check the registration records for each individual booking, payment and passport numbers.
Hold numbers take the lift up to the 14th floor. I secretly baffled first "ladder" and several of the team, guess they went to Germany's true purpose: a Hangzhou girl, wearing a cap unilateral Plait is to go there to read language; a claim to be the boss of Wenzhou Xiaonianqing to there "international trade", with which he checked 4 bits, and been refused today to try their luck ... An insurance provider that he too had gas: "do not like the old gentleman", he meant to me, "a look at the great temperament," Oh, rare someone so high on me.Out of the elevator door is narrow Visa Office hallway, a female staff member responsible for the issuance of a formal inquiry and visa number.
Through the security gate security after the last entry visa office. I get a back seat to sit down and wait for my number appears in the electronic version.3. I saw the legendary "aunt" middle-aged
A total of six Visa window 2-4, the window is devoted to interviews.
Predecessors to visa who describes the scene text a lot, busty visa officer is said to be "serious" middle-aged aunt. The probability of the three selected one, I was inevitably meet, just my luck. Sure enough, 8, window opens, Hangzhou girl first I was recruited to 2 window, waiting for the No. 3 is the legendary "aunt" and the middle-aged.Call her "aunt" is a middle-aged to visa kid's age discrimination, "a man kind.
I look at that woman small I can many (to call "little sister". However, I didn't dare) and will not square. She asked the first question, I believe that killed and you can't guess: "you are in Shanghai University of Ah, your school which specializes in the most worthy entry?" was closer to me and her distance.Then, I shake out the "burden", prepared for the past three months.
Because of the United Kingdom visa experience earlier, I kind of material is completed. The result was her for a while after throwing grubbing also two thirds. As tens of thousands of banks freeze the book, a whole bunch of tax forms, my personal statement, and the like. Afterwards, Germany people this simplifies a lot of trouble, such as to the elements such as I keep the passbook.I miss with a visa officer is quite interesting among some of the questions and answers.
She has so asked: "why not go with your wife?" and "to go there alone to travel there?" and "such a difficult thing why are you going?" and "Cannes Grand age lived what youth hostel?", and the like.I am a very classical answer reply: "to see the world.
"I act like this is a bit strange. She is most concerned about is my all booking hotel days can touch approach, in other words, I do have a place to live. This is an arrow. In the end is on the ball. However, I went to the big European free line (bottom left: my trip map), touched the Stones River still eyes a smear, where to plan carefully to arrange their own travel every day.However, the two of us on this topic was loud, even alarmed consular.
4. the consular decisively over intervention
The consular young high-skilled, knowledgeable, very like Russia's richest man before Abramovich.
He did not know to come third, took my stuff go annotations, with instant API ActiveX Visual at me. When the situation is: he Department strong, over, waving to me a refusal. Such occasions, I met many, I am not British Columbia not silent to meet him in the eyeLight face frankly. Four eyes relatively few seconds later, he and Ms. German visa officer to talk, and walk away with a material.The lady told me: "consular to consider Mr. now.
”I nuonuo: "OK, OK, although consideration.
"Not a visa to go to the place? find Germany buddies separate lines here for free for a month to try and shallow kicked kicked deep, not prepared unto everything? I thought.Momentary lull that kind of woman, the visa officer embarrassment: "Germany people do things very seriously.
"And, to do something with me calculated time, the wrench means" clever play ", all the way up to the desk phone rings. It is estimated that there is no doubt that Mr. Consul, she answered with a German with a few words before officially accepted my materials. Just me, or adhere to the hostel there is a way for a few days did not finalize things said to go down.5. liked the little sister-visa officer

The female officer was people-friendly, and opened his mouth to speak German, English, believe that education and qualifications are not talking.I am against those called "Internet middle-aged aunt", my mind is, since the want to go to someone's House, we have to act by the system.
To spare you here is what status. I also acknowledge that the visa officer is really hard to do. Set the job should be to want to go to Germany for granting permits. However, all of a sudden release is useless; while I encountered such impeccable, and no problems.To express fee: $ 35; visa fee: $ 650 (euro in rose.
Prior to this, see the users that is $ 90). Back to the female officer before handing off information, to the lady who after leaving again. The Embassy visa section about 10 points.
