从大使馆收到签证发出的消息正好两周的时间，感谢苹果各位的帮忙~
以下是我这次的经历和准备的材料。
首先，当然是填写网上申请表。我没想到填写这个表格花了10多个小时。。。。主要是因为开始选择种类的时候不知道应该选择那一项，后来发现既不是settlement 也不是family visit 而是要选择other…否则虽然是六个月的签证，仍然会要求交医疗保险之类的。。。。
其次，就是要准备资料了。我把所有准备的资料都按照网上supporting document 的要求和顺序列了出来并按编号把每个文件都编了号和cover letter 里的列表对应。不过据取指纹的人说they will not give a look…很多资料都是复印件，仍然没有问题。最后原件全部返回，除了我护照的复印件没要，其他的复印件全收走了。 虽然前期准备各种乱，但是好在10个工作日左右拿到了签证。 以下是我cover letter 中的列表，供需要的人参考~
