Ho raccolto in un unico posto gli esempi di interviste più interessanti, penso che i ragazzi non saranno contrari.

K: Hi!
Io: How do you do! (senza capire nulla, senza aspettare che chieda, gli mostro il DS-2019!)
K: How’re you?
Io: Pretty good
K: (non ha sentito nulla e chiede di nuovo) How’re you?
Io: I’M FINE!
K: OK Are these documents yours? (indica i miei questionari, la foto)
Io: Yes
K: Are you sure?
Io: Yope!
K: Where’re you going to work?
Io: M.P.company,Ww,NJ.
K: Who is the governor on NJ state?
Io: ??? I’m sorry? I don’t remember!
K: And who is the president of US?
Io: B. Obama!
K: All right, and what do you study?
Io: (ho sentito where) Kazan Cooperative Institute
K: NO! I mean what do you study??
Io: Oyy, economics!
K: Who is the minister of economics in Russia?
Io: Eh... German Gref!
K: Very well. Your English is good. And what’s your favorite movie?
Io: (ho sparato la prima cosa che mi è venuta in mente) Comedy – Alone at home!
K: Oy, you mean Home alone. Do you really like it?
Io: YES! (è che lo adoro)
K: OK You’ll get your Visa! Everything is fine! Have a nice summer!
Io: Good bye! (non stavo in piedi come mi avevano insegnato – dritto, ma mi ero appoggiato a quel davanzale)
K: Have a nice... non ho già più sentito il resto perché sono andato, no, sono volato verso l'uscita!

-Officer: Hello
-Me: Hi (sorridiamo!!!)
-O: So... let me see... You are an exchange student, aren’t you?
-M: Yes, Sir
-O: And what are you going to do in America? Are you going to work?
-M: I'm going to work as a waitress at an Italian restaurant. You may laugh, but working as a waitress has been one of the dreams of my life. Indeed, every time I am at the restaurant with my parents or friends, I want to be at the place of the waiter.
-O: (L'ufficiale ride davvero) Well, it’s a hard job, believe me!
-M: Yes, I’ve heard about it. Well, I’ll be given an opportunity to try it out!
-O: Were do you study?
-M: (poi, con un gesto elegante, tiro fuori il tesserino dello studente, il libretto dei voti, i certificati delle università e inizia l'ode all'Alma Mater) I’m enrolled in the program of the Russian-French University which means that I am a student at the Linguistic University of NN, where I study French and English, and at the Economics Department of the NN State University. That’s why when I graduate in two years I’ll be given two diplomas!
-O: (Sfoglia professionalmente il libretto dei voti, guarda i timbri sul tesserino dello studente) I see...Very nice...May I have a look at your previous passport with the previous visas? This is the new one, isn’t it?
-M: Yes, the passport that you have is new, because the old one has already expired. Here is my old passport. (Viene dato il vecchio passaporto, l'ufficiale lo sfoglia, mette un timbro sul vecchio visto americano “Canceled without prejudice”). As you see, I've traveled a lot in my life. I've been many times to Europe: Germany and France. I strongly believe that travelling is the greatest thing in the world! One gets to know other cultures, mentalities, meets new interesting people and practices the language. Alone changing the atmosphere makes it worth to go on trip!
-O: Ok, well...thank you, your documents are all right, everything is fine and you can pick up your visa within few days. Good luck and have a nice trip!
-M: Thank you. Bye!

K: Good morning. (mi ha appena guardato, mentre frugava tra le carte)
Io: Good morning. (sorrido ampiamente.)
K: Summer Work and Travel, right?
Io: Right.
K: So, last summer you were...?
Io: Tennessee, Chattanooga. (volto estremamente onesto)
K: Excuse me?..
Io: TENNESSEE!
K: Oh, oh, ok, I see. Tennessee. Last time you came back late....
Io: (il cuore mi cade nelle scarpe e iniziano a insinuarsi brutti pensieri, è sempre più difficile mantenere il sorriso).
K: ....October, 15... Right?
Io: Yes, sir.
K: You missed some classes, right? (minaccioso e con insistenza)
Io: mantengo i resti della mia compostezza e... improvvisamente esclamo con un tono sorprendentemente calmo: No!
K: (perplessità sul volto) – No??? But your classes start....?
Io: Oh, sure, the first of September. But first two months our schedule is rather unstable, classes are not very serious. It was not difficult for me to catch up. So, I didn’t have any problems. (di nuovo occhi onesti.)
K: Ok.... (frugando di nuovo tra le carte, sembra che la risposta lo abbia soddisfatto). So, you visited the US once. Why do you want to do it again?
Io: (per questa domanda ero pronta e avevo preparato un lungo discorso sul fatto che questo mi avrebbe permesso di improve my English, che mi avrebbe aiutato nella mia futura carriera, dato che la mia specializzazione è "Stati Uniti e Canada", ecc.) Ho fatto un respiro profondo e... ho improvvisamente esclamato: - I just enjoyed it. I like it! (espressione facciale sempliciotta) Lì inizio a capire che ho di nuovo detto un'assurdità totale e che probabilmente è ora di congedarmi.... Ma mantengo ancora una buona faccia a cattivo gioco. Continuo a sorridere.
K: (con mia sorpresa, l'espressione del suo volto è come se non si aspettasse un'altra risposta) - Ok! Where are you going this summer?
Io: Maryland.
K: Ok. Can you show me your student ticket? (Credo abbia detto esattamente questo, non ricordo più. Ma ho capito di cosa si trattava e ho cercato il tesserino dello studente.)
Io: Here you are. (gli porgo il tesserino dello studente).
K: Ok... (lo esamina e improvvisamente inizia ad accigliarsi – sono già in sudore freddo e tesa in attesa della trappola, anche se non c'era motivo di aver paura – sono davvero una studentessa).
Are you a sophomore? (studentessa del secondo anno, nel caso qualcuno non lo sapesse)
Io: No, I’m in my forth year...
K: Oh!!! O’kaaaaay!!! They just make these stamps so close to each other that I can barely see them.
Io: (Faccio una risata nervosa, i nervi sono a fior di pelle. Decido di consegnare anche il certificato dell'università, giusto per sicurezza)
K: Oh, ok. Ok. So, everything is ok with your documents. (Qui si allontana un po' con la sedia e chiede a qualcuno "We are doing the same as last time, aren’t we?"
Io: (Qui capisco cosa intende – il 18 marzo, quando hanno rifiutato tutti. Sono delusa, ma cerco ancora di sorridere.)
K: Everything is fine. But.... We have some problems with your sponsor organization, they didn’t provide us with correct information. It’s not your fault. You can’t get your visa till we fix the problem. Ok? (mette le mie carte in una pila)
Io: Ok....(annuisco con comprensione.) My passport... (tendo la mano)
K: No, no! We will keep it till your company fixes the problem. Ok?
Io: Oh! Sure!!! (sorrido ampiamente, perché capisco che c'è ancora polvere da sparo nel barile)
K: Good bye!
Io: Good bye!

K: - Hello.
Io: - How are you doing? (Il console è rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso nel sentire queste parole magiche, che un americano medio dice circa 50 volte al giorno. E qui, vedendo il suo sorriso e l'espressione del suo volto, ho capito - è finita, il visto è in tasca!!!!)
