美国留学签证F1签证的敏感专业详细列表
今年美国签证形势整体开始发生转变,敏感专业的审查周期从以前的长达两个月缩短到2~3周,且因专业审查而遭遇申请失败的人数极少。但是,如果申请者所学的专业属于敏感专业,为了能按时到达学校,一定要提早向所在辖区的大使馆或者领事馆申请签证。
  美国留学 敏感专业详细列表 
  The State Department maintains a Technical Alert List, also known as the sensitive major list, to guide their evaluation of visa submission. 
  Sorted by rate. 
  CRITICAL FIELDS LIST 
  A. CONVENTIONAL MUNITIONS: Technologies associated with: 
  -- Warheads and other large caliber projectiles 
  -- Reactive armor and warhead defeat systems 
  -- Fusing and arming systems. 
  -- Electronic countermeasures and systems 
  -- New or novel explosives and formulations 
  -- Automated explosive detection methods and equipment 
  B. NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY: Technologies associated with 
  production and use of nuclear material for both peaceful and military applications. Included are technologies for: 
  -- Enrichment of fissile material 
  -- Reprocessing irradiated nuclear fuel to recover produced 
  plutonium 
  -- Production of heavy water for moderator material 
  -- Plutonium and tritium handling 
  Also, certain associated technologies related to nuclear physics and/or nuclear engineering. Includes materials,equipment or technology associated with: 
  -- Power reactors, breeder and production reactors 
  -- Fissile or special nuclear materials 
  -- Uranium enrichment, including gaseous diffusion,centrifuge, aerodynamic, chemical, Electromagnetic Isotopic Separation (EMIS), Laser Isotope Separation 
  (LIS) 
  -- Spent fuel reprocessing, plutonium, mixed oxide nuclear research 
  Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) 
  -- Magnetic confinement fusion 
  -- Laser fusion, high power lasers, plasma, 
  -- Nuclear fuel fabrication including Mixed Oxide (uranium- 
  plutonium) fuels (MOX) 
  -- Heavy water production 
  -- Tritium production and use 
  -- Hardening technology 
  C. ROCKET SYSTEMS (including ballistic missile systems,space launch vehicles and sounding rockets) and Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) (including cruise missiles, target drones, and reconnaissance drones): Technologies associated with rocket systems and UAV systems. The technology needed to develop a satellite launch vehicle is virtually identical to that needed to build a ballistic missile. 
  D. ROCKET SYSTEM AND UNMANNED AIR VEHICLE (UAV) SUBSYSTEMS: 
  Propulsion technologies include solid rocket motor stages,and liquid propellant engines. Other critical subsystems include re-entry vehicles, guidance sets, thrust vector controls and warhead safing, arming and fusing. Many of these technologies are dual-use. Technologies include: 
  -- Liquid and solid rocket propulsion systems 
  -- Missile propulsion and systems integration 
  -- Individual rocket stages or staging/separation mechanism 
  -- Aerospace thermal (such as superalloys) and high-performance structures

  -- Propulsion systems test facilities

E. NAVIGATION, AVIONICS AND FLIGHT CONTROL USEABLE IN ROCKET SYSTEMS AND UNMANNED AIR VEHICLES (UAV): These capabilities directly determine the delivery accuracy and lethality of both unguided and guided weapons. The long-term costs to design, build and apply these technologies have been a limiting proliferation factor. Technologies include those associated with:
  -- Internal navigation systems 
  -- Tracking and terminal homing devices 
  -- Accelerometers and gyroscopes 
  -- Rocket and UAV and flight control systems. 
  -- Global Positioning System (GPS) 
  F. CHEMICAL, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING: The technology used to produce chemical and biological weapons is inherently dual-use. The same technologies that could be applied to develop and produce chemical and biological weapons are used widely by civilian research laboratories and industry; these technologies are relatively common in many countries. Advanced biotechnology has the potential to support biological weapons research. In the biological area, look for interest in technologies associated with: 
  -- Aerobiology (study of microorganisms found in the air or in aerosol form) 
  -- Biochemistry 
  -- Pharmacology 
  -- Immunology 
  -- Virology 
  -- Bacteriology 
  -- Mycology 
  -- Microbiology 
  -- Growth and culturing of microorganisms 
  -- Pathology (study of diseases) 
  -- Toxicology 
  -- Study of toxins 
  -- Virulence factors 
  -- Genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology 
  -- Identification of nucleic acid sequences associated with pathogenecity 
  -- Freeze-drying (lyophilization) 
  -- Fermentation technology 
  -- Cross-filtration equipment 
  -- High "DOP-rated filters" (e.g., HEPA filters, ULPA filters) 
  -- Microencapsulation 
  -- Aerosol sprayers and technology, aerosol and aerosolization technology 
  -- Spray or drum drying technology 
  -- Milling equipment or technology intended for the production of micron-sized particles 
  -- Technology for eliminating electrostatic charges of small particles 
  -- Flight training 
  -- Crop-dusting, aerosol dissemination 
  -- Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology 
  -- Fuses, detonators, and other munitions technology 
  -- Submunitions technology 
  -- Computer modeling of dissemination or contagion
  -- Chemical absorption (nuclear-biological-chemical (NBC) protection
