經常有人問，美國簽證左下角的星星究竟是啥東東？

每個人的星星數也不一樣，到底代表什么意思呢？

關于這個神秘的星星，現在是眾說紛紜
 

據悉，簽證照片下會有星號標記。標記分為四種，一顆星、兩顆星、兩顆當中有空格的星和三顆星。

大家可以看下自己的簽證頁，星號貌似與性別、年齡、家庭狀況等并沒有太大聯系，那到底這幾顆星代表著什么呢?

說法一：僅僅是用來防偽的

這個說法有正反兩種觀點。有些人認為僅僅用幾顆星星來進行防偽的說法未免有些牽強，而且一張visa上的防偽手段已經有很多了，這種方式未免“低級”;

另一些人則覺得美國簽證上的防偽手段一直沒有公布過，星星的個數可能與別的細節聯系起來統一成為一張簽證上的防偽標識。
 

說法二：星星個數代表移民傾向

星數越少代表移民傾向越小入美國國境境時，三星即代表有必要安全檢查。

The stars below the photo in the USA visa indicates the "RISK" status when entry the United States, which means that if you have more stars, then you will go through more security check when entering the United States.The number of stars are determined based on several reasons like: nationality, age, status, sex, countries visited before and others but as I mentioned before, it is only an indication. A lot of two stars have entered the states without any problem especially those who were joining families, but 2 star will probably be interviewed when reaching the states in case they were alone.Three stars means that security check will happen when arriving to the states but at the end, it depends on the immigrant officer...

說法三：幫助簽證官判斷發放合適有效期的簽證
 

但是考慮到現在對普通中國游客已經發放有效期十年的簽證，所以照片左下的的星星對于簽證已經沒有太大影響;不過申請人入境時它很有可能是判斷是否有必要安檢的依據。

美國官方沒有給出過關于這些星星的明確說法。
