2、要中肯，切題(DIRECT AND TO THE POINT)

　　這就要求申請者對自己為什么被拒簽要有一個明確的認識，這是你寫申訴信的前提。如果不知道簽證官為什么拒簽你，那你要申訴什么啊？所有被拒簽的申請者都最終被告知，有移民傾向。但是，之所以判定你有移民傾向，簽證官一般有更詳細的原因，但是什么原因，簽證官一般不會告訴你，但卻會在你的申請表中做標記，這就需要你仔細回顧自己面試中的各個細節，判定拒簽的主要原因。這樣在寫作時，就可以列出簽證官拒簽的理由，然后通過邏輯和事實來逐一駁斥，證明簽證官的拒簽是錯誤的。

　　3、駁斥要堅定有力(BE FORCEFUL)

　　在用強有力的邏輯和事實證明自己的“清白”和簽證官的錯誤之后，適當時候應該果斷地指出簽證官的不合理，不公正，不認真和不按照規定辦事。這一點往往是大多數中國學生所不具有的，尤其是那些“前途渺茫，后路已斷”，把所有寶都押到出國留學上的學生。例如去年有一個學生在第二次簽證時，簽證官竟然去咨詢上一次拒簽他的那位簽證官，回來后明確告訴他自己不能推翻同事的決定，整個過程幾乎沒有問他什么問題就把他給拒了！這明顯嚴重違反了美國使館在自己的官方網站上標榜的規定，而這位學生卻不敢當場駁斥他。要知道，美國簽證系統中是沒有正式的拒簽申訴程序的，但是幾乎每個申請人都可以再次或者多次提出申請，而提出新的申請也就等于是進行申訴，向簽證官提交新的材料。所以，美國使館規定，一個以前被拒簽而現在又申請的人應該受到全新的對待，應該給予他們公平的機會，來證明他們的簽證資格。美國是一個理性的國度，只要你的邏輯合理，就可以有理、有利、有節地指出簽證官的不合理和不公正，使簽證官不得不接受你的邏輯，改變以前的不合理決定。以下是一篇較成功的申訴信(有刪減)，希望那些不幸被拒簽者能體會一下申訴信的寫作原則。

　　DEAR VISA OFFICERS:

　　AS ONE OF CHINA'S VERY FEW LEGAL PROFESSIONALS PRIVILEGED WITH THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO UNDERTAKE ADVANCED LEGAL STUDIES IN THE US, I WAS GREATLY SURPRISED BY YOUR REJECTION OF MY APPLICATION FOR A STUDENT VISA. THE REJECTION REPRESENTS A BLOW TO NOT ONLY MY HOPE FOR ENHANCED LEGAL EXPERTISE BUT ALSO AMERICA'S PROFESSED COMMITMENT TO SEEING THE RULE OF LAW PREVAIL IN CHINA.

　　ALREADY ON THE CUTTING-EDGE OF CHINA'S MARITIME LAW, I HAVE TO STUDY IN A WESTERN LAW SCHOOL IF I AM TO FURTHER IMPROVE MY EXPERTISE IN MY FIELD OF SPECIALTY.SHAVINGSBEEN TRAINED AS PART OF THE COUNTRY'S FIRST POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM IN MARITIME LAW, I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS AN IN-HOUSE LEGAL COUNSEL WITH THE XXX ASSOCIATION, HANDLING OVER 100 CLAIMS EVERY YEAR IN RELATION TO SHIPPING CONTRACTS. MY LEGAL EDUCATION AND LEGAL PRACTICE ARE ALREADY THE BEST POSSIBLE IN CHINA.

　　BY ATTENDING AN AMERICAN LAW SCHOOL, I CAN ACQUIRE THE KIND OF PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AND SOCIAL VALUES THAT CHINA NEEDS MOST AND AMERICA CAN TEACH THE BEST.……

　　THE REJECTION OF MY VISA APPLICATION PROBABLY MEANS THAT THE ONLY CHINESE WHO IS BOTH INTELLECTUALLY AND FINANCIALLY CAPABLE OF UNDERTAKING ADVANCED STUDIES IN MARITIME LAW IN YOUR COUNTRY IS REFUSED ENTRY. THIS, I THINK, RUNS COUNTER TO NOT ONLY MY PERSONAL INTEREST BUT ALSO THE INTEREST OF OUR RESPECTIVE COUNTRIES. AFTER ALL, MORE, NOT FEWER, CHINESE STUDENTS HAD BETTER LEARN THE AMERICAN LEGAL CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES, IF OUR TWO PEOPLES ARE TO LIVE IN PEACE AND DO BUSINESS WITH EACH OTHER. IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT YOU WILL SEE ANOTHER CHINESE STUDENT LIKE ME ANYTIME SOON, ALTHOUGH YOUR OFFICE SEEMS SWARMED EVERYDAY WITH CHINESE STUDENTS SEEKING VISAS.

　　I STAND APART FROM OTHER CHINESE STUDENTS ALSO IN THAT I HAVE A CLEAR AND IMMEDIATE PURPOSE FOR MY STUDIES. MY FAMILY'S COMPANY, XXX，NEEDS ME TO TAKE CHARGE OF ITS LEGAL AFFAIRS AS IT EXPANDS.……GIVEN THE INTERNATIONAL NATURE OF ITS BUSINESS, THE COST OF MY LEGAL EDUCATION IN THE US IS NOT ONLY A PIECE OF CAKE BUT ALSO GREAT INVESTMENT.

　　NOW THAT MY FAMILY HAS MADE ITS FORTUNES AND IS POISED TO MAKE EVEN MORE IN CHINA, THERE IS NO REASON WHY I WOULD NOT RETURN TO CHINA AFTER I COMPLETE MY STUDIES IN THE US. ALTHOUGH AMERICA IS OBVIOUSLY RICHER THAN CHINA IN OVERALL TERMS, I DO NOT THINK MANY AMERICAN FAMILIES CAN MAKE MORE THAN 1 MILLION US DOLLARS A YEAR. NOR DO I THINK THAT I WILL STAND A BETTER CHANCE IN A FOREIGN LAND THAN AVERAGE AMERICANS ON THEIR HOME TURF. UNLESS I GO CRAZY, I WILL NOT EXCHANGE MY VIRTUALLY GUARANTEED FUTURE WITH MY FAMILY COMPANY IN MY HOME COUNTRY FOR THE UNCERTAIN LIFE OF AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN YOUR COUNTRY.

　　ADDING TO THE ALREADY COMPELLING REASONS ABOVE FOR MY RETURN TO CHINA IS MY WIFE, WHO WILL BE STAYING IN CHINA WHEN I LEAVE FOR THE US.……

　　MY PROPERTY, CAREER AND FAMILY TIES TO CHINA ARE SO STRONG THAT IT HAS NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT I WILL BE BUILDING UP MY CAREER AND REALIZING MY DREAMS ANYWHERE OTHER THAN IN CHINA. IF YOU CAREFULLY EXAMINE ALL THE FACTS ABOUT ME, I AM SURE THAT YOU WOULD NOT SUPPOSE THAT I MIGHT WANT TO STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY OVER THE LIMIT OF MY VISA. PLEASE KINDLY ACT ACCORDINGLY. THE RIGHT DECISION ON MY APPLICATION WOULD BE GOOD NOT ONLY TO ME PERSONALLY BUT ALSO TO THE PROCESS OF TRAINING A NEW GENERATION OF CHINESE PROFESSIONALS WHO CAN READILY UNDERSTAND THE ESSENCE OF THE AMERICAN POINT OF VIEW.

　　YOURS SINCERELY
