Amir: Actually, no. I got married to an American while living in Iran, and we decided to settle in the United States.
John: Oh, you have an American spouse. Where do you live?
Amir: I really like city life so New York is my favorite city. But my wife has some family in Virginia, so we live there.
Professor: So Winnie, did Amir first come to America on a work visa?
Amir并不是拿工作签证来美国的,而是在伊朗时和美国人结婚,然后到美国定居。我猜,spouse就是配偶的意思吧?
Professor: That's right.
Professor, John问Amir是不是有公司"sponsor him for a visa",这是什么意思呢?
Professor: When a company "sponsors" you for a visa, they ask the government to give you a visa. Usually you need a sponsor in the US to get a visa.
哦,公司可以作为担保人,替雇员向政府申请工作签证,这个过程就叫"sponsor"。
Professor: So if you are applying for a job in America, you might ask the company, "Can you sponsor me for a visa?"
John: Well there are some things you should do to start preparing for the interview. You should learn about US civics and the constitution.
Amir: Don't worry, I've already lived in the US for three years and know all about its history and politics.
John: Good, then the interview and test won't be a problem. Do you have any dependents?
