（二）敏感专业处理办法
大部分理工专业都是和敏感专业相关的，遇到这种情况不要太担心，按照以下方法可以
解除签证官对于敏感专业的疑虑

（1）尽可能明白浅显地向签证官解释该专业的学习内容；
不要详细地描述你去到美国的学习和研究内容的前沿性、尖端性，用通俗易懂的语言向签
证官解释你这个专业是学什么的，做什么的，体现出通俗、易懂、有益、无害，消灭敏感
度。

（2）明确自己的学习计划；
如果你能够清晰地向签证官阐述你的赴美的学习和研究计划，这就好像把专业敏感度放在
阳光底下一样，可以很大程度上打消签证官的疑虑。

（3）准备好充足的材料；
如果签证官对申请者的专业敏感度存在疑虑的话，那么他一般会重点查阅申请者的几样材
料：包括：简历、Study Plan、导师的个人信息介绍。因此准备好这些材料，方便在签证
官需要的时候及时提供。

（4）做好被 Check 的心理准备；

如果知道自己的专业是敏感的，那么最好在去签证前做好被 Check 的心理准备，然后以一
个平常心的去争取不被 Check 而当场获得通过。避免由于过于害怕被 Check 而最终造成被
拒的情况出现。

其实，只要做好以上几点，即使由于这个专业敏感度被 Check, 那最终的结果往往都意

味着获得签证。在此祝所有拿到录取的学生的签证都能顺利通过。
