美国签证上的“神秘”星星,到底是代表什么 (图文)
经常有人问,美国签证左下角的星星究竟是啥东东?
每个人的星星数也不一样,到底代表什么意思呢?
关于这个神秘的星星,现在是众说纷纭
据悉,签证照片下会有星号标记。标记分为四种,一颗星、两颗星、两颗当中有空格的星和三颗星。
大家可以看下自己的签证页,星号貌似与性别、年龄、家庭状况等并没有太大联系,那到底这几颗星代表着什么呢?
说法一:仅仅是用来防伪的
这个说法有正反两种观点。有些人认为仅仅用几颗星星来进行防伪的说法未免有些牵强,而且一张visa上的防伪手段已经有很多了,这种方式未免“低级”;
另一些人则觉得美国签证上的防伪手段一直没有公布过,星星的个数可能与别的细节联系起来统一成为一张签证上的防伪标识。
说法二:星星个数代表移民倾向
星数越少代表移民倾向越小入美国国境境时,三星即代表有必要安全检查。
The stars below the photo in the USA visa indicates the “RISK” status when entry the United States, which means that if you have more stars, then you will go through more security check when entering the United States.The number of stars are determined based on several reasons like: nationality, age, status, sex, countries visited before and others but as I mentioned before, it is only an indication. A lot of two stars have entered the states without any problem especially those who were joining families, but 2 star will probably be interviewed when reaching the states in case they were alone.Three stars means that security check will happen when arriving to the states but at the end, it depends on the immigrant officer…
说法三:帮助签证官判断发放合适有效期的签证
但是考虑到现在对普通中国游客已经发放有效期十年的签证,所以照片左下的的星星对于签证已经没有太大影响;不过申请人入境时它很有可能是判断是否有必要安检的依据。
美国官方没有给出过关于这些星星的明确说法。
