发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Jul 21 15:14:09 2005)

六月21号express寄出。回执24号收到材料。
七月20号，收到TX center的信件。开始不知道是什么，
因为网上的信息表明材料才处理到6/22号的申请。打开，
新的I94和I20。

本科，全自费。没有寄任何多余的东西（没有流水账等等）。
银行的statement从3月到5月。四月有一笔超过10k的deposit。
最终银行存款比I-20要求多三千。

这是我的cover letter。希望能提供一点参考。祝F2->F1好运。

要不去墨西哥签？

建议不要去墨西哥签，据我目前了了解的情况来看，基本上1个月就能批下来，应该是来得及得。
