1, apply for school. At this stage, you can generally cast a net, send the materials to interested schools and co-tutors, and then wait for the applied schools to send you an invitation letter. The materials needed at this time include:
(1) application form. It is generally available on the foreign exchange website of the applying school and can be downloaded.
2 resumes (CV). English, it is best to make a targeted one according to their thinking. For example, the resumes of visiting schools should highlight academic qualifications, and some even suggest that the information of master's thesis should be reflected in the resumes.
③ Research project plan.
④ Two letters of recommendation. Some schools need to have the official stationery of the recommender's unit, or require the recommender to send a letter of recommendation with the mailbox assigned by the unit.
⑤ Catalogue of papers and monographs published by individuals.
2. After the school sends out the invitation letter, it will ask the visiting scholars to provide relevant information and issue the DS-20 19 form. The DS-20 19 form is used to obtain a visa. The data required in the DS-20 19 form include:
① Apply for form ①DS20 19.
② Medical insurance statement. (you can buy it after going abroad)
(3) proof of funds (project proof of overseas study fund committee or unit)
④ Copy of passport
(5) $250 is authorized to share the expenses. (Maybe every school is different, and this rule is different. Some schools may not. This fee is used to pay the administrative expenses of the application school to accept the application)
3. After receiving the DS20 19 form (you need to sign at the bottom of the form), you can prepare to apply for a face-to-face visa. Including:
① Pay the visa fee at CITIC Bank first. Pay with your passport. This year, I paid RMB to 930 yuan, which was more than 800 yuan last year. The receipt should be pasted on the last page of the 156 form.
② Buy a stored-value card to make an appointment for a visa interview. You can buy a card when you pay the visa fee. There are two fixed denominations, 54 yuan 12 minutes, 32 yuan 8 minutes and only CITIC Bank sells them. Then press the card prompt to make an appointment for the interview. You should also have a passport at this time, and the other party should ask you some relevant information, such as your passport number. This is a Chinese service. You can search someone's visa booking process online.
③ Pay the SEVIS fee. This is the requirement of the United States for non-immigrant immigrants. Now it's $ 180. After paying online, you can print the receipt online and give it to them after getting the visa.
④ Prepare visa materials. Download the form from the website of American Embassy and fill in the forms 156, 157, 158. 156 forms need to be filled in and printed online immediately.
4. Visa materials.
156, 157, 158 forms, passport, visa fee, SEVIS fee receipt, a photo with a 5*5CM white background in the last 6 months, proof of funds and invitation letter.
Others can also prepare some auxiliary materials, such as a family photo, real estate license and other things that can prove that you are attracted back to China. Visiting scholars should pay special attention to an identity certificate and a copy of a monograph or paper. Visa officers care about this kind of information, so it is necessary to prepare your tutor materials for visiting schools.
I hope the above answers are helpful to you.
