面签问题
- Why did you come to America? 我想要参加一个为期 1 个月的临床观摩活动，在 California Heart and Vein Specialists。这是邀请函。
I want to attend a one-month unpaid clinical observership at California Heart and Vein Specialists. Here’s the invitation letter.
- What exactly will you do there?
I will observe cardiology practice and see how routine medical activities are done in the United States. I will not participate in any hands-on medical activities.
- Why are you applying for a B-1 visa?
Because the visit is temporary, unpaid and strictly observational. There will be no employment and no patient care. The host institution also states in the invitation letter that a visitor visa is required.
- Who invited you?
Dr. Majed Chane from CA Heart and Vein Specialists in Huntington Beach, California.
- How did you find this observership?
I found the program through its official website and contacted the program directly.
- Why did you choose this clinic?
I want to observe how routine medical practice operates in the US. The program provides a short and focused opportunity to observe cardiovascular practice in the United States. I will use the experience to support my medical education after I return to China.
- How long will you stay?
From November 27, 2026, to January 4, 2027.
- Why does the letter say four weeks when the dates cover approximately five weeks?
Because they’re taking a few days off for the Christmas holiday, they extended it by a few days to compensate.
- Where will you stay?
I will stay at a rented room in Huntington Beach. I have the rental agreement with me.
- What do you do in China?
I am a full-time graduate student in clinical medicine at Xi’an Jiaotong University.
- When will you graduate?
I expect to complete my graduate degree in June 2027. After returning from the United States, I need to continue my thesis research and complete the university’s graduation requirements.
- Are you preparing for the USMLE?
Yes, I am considering/preparing for the USMLE as part of my long-term professional development. But I want to apply for and complete a PhD program in China first, and only then consider residency.
- Who will pay for your trip?
My mother will pay for the trip. Would you like to see a sponsor letter?
- What does your mother do?
She is a director at a chemical cooperation.
- Have you traveled abroad before?
Yes. I previously traveled to Switzerland for a training program at UN and WHO in Geneva. To broaden my horizons and improve my personal skills.
- You are young, single and unemployed. Why should I believe you will return?
My degree is still in progress, and I must return to Xi’an Jiaotong University to continue my research and complete my thesis and graduation requirements. I have no employment or residency position in the United States.
