北京訪友簽證過程
11月26日，早上10點宅配送來了英國大使館的信件，一個淡綠色的大信封，厚厚的，簽字接受時的心情好忐忑啊。昨天中午在網上查詢了自己的進程， 還寫着“已經送至大使館。”沒想到這麼快就有了結果。打開那個信封，瞧了瞧沒看見在簽證申請中心看見的那種前順利簽過的大牛皮紙信封，外面訂着個“美國運 通支票的廣告”，心里好沮喪，馬上拿出護照，一看在第13頁上貼上了我夢寐以求的小紙片，好開心啊，要和大家分享一下心得，希望對還在奮斗中的兄弟姐妹有 所幫助。
我准備材料大約花了10天，11月24送的材料，11月25簽的，11月26收到。北京。
11月24中 午去的東環廣場英國簽證申請中心，由於是吃飯時間人很少，門口站了幾個穿西服的年輕男子，在和客人輕聲說話，看到我，問我是送材料的麼，我說是，他就給了 我一張淡藍色的小紙片，上面寫着“xxxx號，預約面試”，我挺緊張的，就問他免費的申請表在哪里，他說怎麼你沒填申請表麼？我說，不是啊，不是網站上要 求申請表雙面列印，我打得單面的，他說沒問題啊，我說你還是給我一張吧，那個帥哥很無奈的拿一份復印的申請表給我，笑笑。我認為他是在笑話我小題大做，那 麼緊張，赫赫。
這個復印的申請表還不如我自己在家彩打的呢，就是不放心才來申請中心填寫的，結果就是整個申請中心就看見我趴在桌 上填了半天表，在簽證咨詢MM,保安等等工作人員的眾目睽睽之下-----------之前觀察了一下發現進門第一張桌子的MM態度比較好，所以選擇了坐 那張桌子，結果感覺還算正確。MM先是問我要照片和申請表，只要一張照片哦，因為照片要求很嚴格，所以前一天晚上我在家裁了半天，一定要注意照片上頭和頂 端至少要有0。5cm的距離，不然你就花35塊在那邊照去吧。申請表她會幫你檢查是否填寫完全，我就是有一項問“你預計什麼時候到達英國”只填了個 12/05，她讓我說一個大約的日子，我就說10號吧，她就幫我寫上了。然後就是照着網上要求的材料一項一項收，順序無所謂的，我是個人資料 -------財力證明---------邀請人材料。建議大家准備材料時參照大使館的要求，比較具體，不要看大使館的材料，我就是因為在大使館網頁下載 了03版的申請表，前一天晚上才發現換的04版。
請注意：所有材料都要有原件和復印件，除非你的原件不要了，可以只有原件，但是不建議這 種方法，你的邀請人的部分資料肯定是復印件了。她們會收你所有提供的材料，不嫌多，我當時還問MM有沒有必要出示我的購房合同，因為她要我翻譯購房合同， 她說提供了會對簽證有利的，所以我就跑去一塊錢一張復印了整本合同加上了原件，購房發票和翻譯件。（小插曲是我的學生證和購房合同沒翻譯，MM好心說我不 用花錢用他們提供的翻譯服務，自己翻譯就行，因為300字以內是75大元，300字以上是110大元，我當時好緊張，一下覺得自己就是個英語盲，生怕我翻 譯壞了被拒了，所以寧願花錢讓他們翻譯了。
哈哈，大家可要事前做好准備哦），材料都收齊了以後MM會把原件和復印件分開放在兩個袋子里， 最後放進一個黑色的大袋子，問你選擇宅配服務麼，我問若不選擇會怎樣，她說就是自己來拿，然後在網上查詢需要交費什麼的，我也沒聽很清楚，總之我選了快 遞，交50大元，之後給你個繳費表，和核對的材料清單，所以大家不用自己寫材料清單了，不要的。之後是到一個窗口去算錢，然後去另一個窗口交費，若你沒有 用他們的翻譯服務，就直接去交錢了，算錢就是算翻譯的字數呢，之後要到一個遞材料的窗口確認交材料，最後給你幾張單子，上面有收據，和查詢號碼等等，可以 到英國大使館的官方網站上面查詢進程。
以上是簽證過程，下面說我的材料准備。
我是在讀研究生二年級，我男朋友在英國讀博士，明年畢業，我是要去過聖誕和過我的生日和過年。我准備的材料如下：
1，簽證申請表 護照
2，護照照片
3，在讀證明和准假證明
4，學生證
5，戶口本

列一下從上海申請英國的簽證材料清單，供後來者參考：
遞交簽證前，可以從英國簽證中心下載清單：
http://www.vfs-uk-cn.com/chinese/index.aspx
1、完整的簽證申請表格
2、簽證費用
3、照片（2張2寸的白背景3.5cm x 4.5 cm照片）
4、邀請人的信函
5、邀請人在英國的定居狀況證明（學生？公民？...）
6、資金證明
7、申請者的在職和假期證明
8、戶口本
9、資金來源證明（至少涵蓋過去6個月）
10、旅行的行程安排、預定（飯店、飛機車船預定票）
咋一看，傻眼了。我在英國沒有任何親人，如何讓人家發邀請函？後來在經辦的過程中才發現原來，即使你沒有任何來自英國的邀請函件，你也是能夠申請的。就這一點，目前，在官方的和簽證中心的網站上都沒有明確說明。但是確實是可以申請的。
我，一頭小驢，作為第一次去歐洲的中國護照持有者，沒有任何來自英國國內的邀請和擔保，自助通過以下准備的檔案，得到6個月的多次往返簽證：
我准備了：
1、完整的簽證申請表格 （表格比較簡單，填清楚了，就行了。其中有一欄是：你還有什麼話對簽證館要說的，我就描述了自己
去過的一些地方，而且表明自己的目的：backpacker，西方文化里有年輕時backpacker去世界各地的傳統，所以backpacker的經歷
應該會引起他們的某些共鳴）
2、簽證費用（1000大洋左右）
3、照片（2張2寸的白背景3.5cm x 4.5 cm照片） 找個數碼照相館照了就行了
4、資金證明
A. 一份有存款的存折大概4萬左右，對帳單打清楚。
B. 一份銀行存款證明5萬，非常簡單，所有的銀行都能辦，其實就是凍結你的那部分存款）
5、申請者的在職和假期證明 （請看我的附件）
6、戶口本 （英文的翻譯，請查看我的附件）
7、資金來源證明（至少涵蓋過去6個月：我提供了過去6個月的薪水表，需要公司章。請查看附件。過去3個月的信用卡對帳單，）
8、旅行的行程安排、預定（飯店（網路預定 http://en.venere.com/?ref=118096 他們家會將確認的函件發到你的郵箱，你列印出來就行了，他們
有取消的policy，如果你在一定期間內取消，他們不會從你的信用卡中扣走錢）、飛機車船預定票（需要飛往倫敦的來回預定單，
你直接到上海徐家匯路的簽證中心辦公室一個角落，一家航空公司代理點，他們可以給你出預定單，免費的）
