<HTML>Hi Ying!!!

First of all, good to see you\'re back and that you got to see the famous Mr. Popov. He\'s certainly amazing.

I have some interesting thoughts and things to share with you. I am currently on an H-1B visa myselft (I\'m a Dutch/Aruban citizen)and it took a lot of trouble to get it too. It\'s a ridiculous process and yes, the Consulate people can be quite disrespectful. I went through Caracas, Venezuela and they didn\'t even bother to speak English to me (this was not that big of a problem since my Spanish is very good, but still...).

The H-1B visa is easiest to get if you have a specialty occupation. In other words you have to prove to them that you have a skill that not very many Americans have. The best way to get this Visa is to go through a Lawyer. It is actually worth it believe it or not. I have a friend that works at one of these consulates and he told me that they take all the applications made through lawyers first and give them preference over others. If you can find a company in the U.S. that will sponsor your visa, this would also give you a much better chance, especially with the entrance or future entrance of China into the World Trade Organization. In addition, I think your English is perfect and you should use that as a basis as well.

Ying, that is all the advice I can give you. I would definitely keep on fighting. You HAVE the right to a higher education! I suggest looking for a company that wants to sponsor you in the U.S. and then proceed from there. That is what I did. With an official letter from such a company and the involvement of a specialty lawyer will give you an excellent chance.

With your talents I don\'t understand why they won\'t give you the light of day. If only they knew :-)

Let me know if I can be of anymore assistance. I have a lot of experience with this. I\'m just not completely sure how one would go about it in China.

Sorry about this off-topic post everyone but I didn\'t have Ying\'s e-mail and I wanted to reply directly.

Hope all is well, let me know how things turn out when you back to the Consulate.

Best as always,

Fin Bonset
