签证流程概述.doc

v签证流程概述： 
一方面是获得所有符合规定的文献，并填写表格。此处必须强调的是存款，一定是存到28天（与资金证明的开立或有效时间无关）之后再去签证，不要有任何的侥幸心理。
然后就是算好时间去签证。签证时间不能早于课程开学的三个月。例如英国开学为9月27日，那么签证必须要在6月27日之后递交。就上海的情况来看，越早递签越好，靠近7月中、下旬递签不得不面临签证期的延长。本人曾经7月20日递签，花了一个月（Calendar Month）多才拿到签证。签证获得的晚，意味着一些留学生机票的预定会泡汤，一些航空公司需要在规定期限（往往是8月中下旬）见到你的VISA也许会赶不上，需要留心。此外，递签日去的越早越好。本人经历是某日下午一点到达，发现基本今天是排不上号的。所以次日7点半就在门口排队了，于是很顺利的就把所有事情办完了。上海的英国签证中心的地址是：上海市卢湾区徐家汇路555号广东发展银行大厦1楼，具体前往方式各位同学看着办吧。
到了签证中心，先是领号。然后坐着等叫你号（和医院同样），不要打瞌睡错过了哟。然后就是工作人员帮你整理材料，检查有没有缺，贴你提供的两寸照片，并提醒你哪些文献需要翻译件（一般有敲过萝卜章的中英文版文献不需要你的翻译件，当然你也可以找中介翻，仿佛需要翻译的是存单和银行资金证明，反正他让你翻译什么你就翻什么，签证中心的翻译工作是当天完毕的，无须紧张会延长你的签证时间），确认了所有文献和哪些需要翻译的文献后他会帮你用个小袋子装好并在你的身份证复印件上盖个章（届时候凭这个来领东西，假如你选择邮寄回家里的话就不必了），假如要邮寄的话，告诉工作人员。然后继续等叫号，叫到了去交材料袋并付钱，现在签证费涨了多少钱不清楚各位自己查好了把钱带足在去。付好钱了再等叫号，叫到了去一边的小房间拍照采集指纹。等这项工作完毕了，你的递签就OK了。
留意你付钱的时候给你的两张小票（一长一短），上面有个号码（在哪张上我忘掉了）你可以追踪签证进度的，不要弄丢了。追踪申请进度的话，可以在官网左面的那些选项里面看见，参考链接：
=
递签完毕了，你就盼星星盼月亮的等吧。等啊等啊等啊等到某一天你在追踪申请进度里面看见你已经可以去取签证了，或邮递员叔叔给你送来包裹了，那说明你签证工作快结束了。记得一定要立即翻看你的护照，当你看见那张黄的发紫的签证，恭喜你签证成功了。现场领签证不需要领号排队，直接去窗口就行，但是那个工作人员仿佛不会说中文哦。
目前发现的拒签情况是存款未满28天以及CAS失效（某位同学的悲剧）。再次强调，存款要满28天，一定要满28天。尚有就是假如被拒签，再签证之前需要规定你的学校重开CAS，那玩意是一次性的，要换个号码才可以，不然又要悲剧了。

主表以及附表的填写： 
以下内容是本文的重点部分。在此再次强调，给出的示范填写不一定对的！请各位同学自己仔细认真斟酌，以下示范仅供参考。尚有就是，注意CAS的签发日期，假如是4月21日之前签发，请不要下载以下链接的表格。以下链接的表格仅合用CAS签发日期为今年4月21日之后的申请。
下划线处为填写处，X表白选此项。
