中关村里的签证官

个人简介：

王静婷，女，37岁，中共党员，2007年9月参加公安工作，现任出入境管理总队中关村外国人服务管理支队一中队中队长，主要负责外国人永久居留受理初审、永居身份证便利化应用，服务北京高水平人才高地建设、“两区”即国家服务业扩大开放综合示范区和中国（北京）自由贸易试验区以及北京国际科创中心建设外籍人才服务管理工作、外国人出入境政策研究制定推进等工作。

攻坚克难

“叮咚”，时针指向24点，坐在王静婷旁边的同事笑着说，再坚持几个小时，咱们又能见到初晨的第一缕阳光了。

2016年公安部出台支持北京创新发展20项出入境政策措施以来，这样的加班场景对王静婷和她的同事们来说已是常态。如何充分立足北京四个中心功能定位，结合在京外籍人员分布特点，研究制定出适合北京经济社会高质量发展所需的最优出入境政策措施实施细则，成为摆在王静婷和她的同事们面前的一个难题。王静婷认识到对外籍高端人才的吸引力，是衡量一个城市国际化程度、营商环境乃至城市创新活力与竞争实力的重要指标，是打造世界安全城市的重要保障之一。她迎难而上，查阅了近百份各类国内外移民文献，调研走访了上百余家企业机构，开展了近300次局内外业务对接，撰写了上千页的政策手稿，一个部门一个部门会商，一个环节一个环节审定，一个成效一个成效检验，几易其稿，最终形成100多页细致完善的配套实施细则，也形成颇具北京特色，内涵丰富、创新性强、含金量高的政策亮点，突破性解决了外籍人才颇为关注的多个“渴点”问题。

春风化雨

王静婷从未想过自己从北京外国语大学毕业后，还能和母校的创始人通过一张小小的永居证结下不解之缘。某一天，正在中关村外国人服务大厅窗口工作的王静婷接待了一位特殊的外籍申请人。他穿着工整的西服，一双老北京布鞋，满头银发，一口地道的北京话，他叫柯马凱，是北京京西学校联合创办人。他的母亲伊莎白·柯鲁克是著名的国际友人，也是新中国英语教学园地的拓荒人，参与创建了北京外国语大学，2019年获得中华人民共和国友谊勋章。柯老此次到窗口是来为他的外孙女咨询办理在中国的永久居留。通过沟通交流，王静婷逐渐和柯老熟络起来，了解到柯老家里的整体情况后，结合出台的一系列最新最优的出入境政策措施，为其选择了最简便快捷的办理渠道。柯老是永居证的“资深持有人”，王静婷会经常与柯老联系，听听他对公安出入境工作的意见建议，证件在哪方面好用，在哪方面又不能用。从刚刚相识到大事小情都能交流，再到看见他们一家在北京幸福快乐地生活着，王静婷心中觉得，外事民警虽然没有与犯罪分子搏斗的惊心动魄，但却用春风化雨的工作换来了人间温暖。

看着证件申请人送来的一面面锦旗，一封封感谢信，留言簿中一句句感人至深的话语，岗位虽然平凡，窗口虽然不大，但是首都外事民警一直在平凡岗位上奋进逐梦，永不止步。

2023年，主题为“开放合作、共享未来”中关村论坛在京召开。开幕式上，北京市公安局出入境管理部门发布了“扬帆·助企”计划。看着现场的宣传片，王静婷感慨颇深，她参与研究制定的出入境新政成为其中的重要组成部分，能为科技赋能，能为发展助力，一切的付出与艰辛都是值得的。

严守国门

“受理申请零差错，前台工作零投诉，审核材料零失误”，是王静婷和她的同事们一直以来追求的工作目标。作为国门守护者，首都的签证审查官，多年的工作经验练就了她火眼金睛、慧眼如炬的洞察力和判断力，能从成千上万的材料中抽丝剥茧发现虚假信息，也能从申请人闪烁其词的表情中细致入微发现可疑线索。一天，一对夫妻到中关村外国人服务大厅窗口申请办理永久居留。王静婷观察到这对夫妻全程基本无交流，特别是涉及一些共同话题时表现出极大的疏离感，顿时觉得这二人的婚姻关系存疑，立即决定前往其家中实地核查，发现二人确实正在准备离婚事宜，不符合申请条件。王静婷告知其骗取出入境证件的严重后果，并依法依规开展后续工作，有力地维护了出入境管理秩序。

作为国门守护者，王静婷和她的同事们擦亮眼睛，决不让任何一个不符合条件的申请人有机可乘；作为移民改革的排头兵，会竭尽所能，为每一个符合条件的申请人热情高效服务，让他们感受到大国首都的魅力与包容！

A Visa Officer in China’s Silicon Valley

By Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau

Confronting Challenges with Resolve

Dong！ Dong！ Dong！ The clock strikes midnight and Wang Jingting's colleague quips， "In just a few hours， we'll be greeted by the first rays of morning light again."

Since the Ministry of Public Security introduced 20 new entry-and-exit measures in 2016 to underpin Beijing's innovative development， overtime work has become common for Wang and her colleagues. Crafting optimal immigration policies and measures that align with Beijing's position as four centers  and cater to the distribution of foreign personnel was an arduous task. They must strive to meet the requirements of the city's high-quality economic and social development. Wang believes a city's ability to attract high-caliber foreign talents serves as an important indicator of its internationalized development， commercial environment， innovative vitality， and competitive strengths. It also plays a pivotal role in ensuring the city's safety and security as it endeavors to become an internationalized metropolis.

She has risen to the challenge： after reviewing nearly 100 documents related to domestic and foreign immigration， visiting hundreds of enterprises， conducting nearly 300 internal and external business exchanges， writing thousands of pages of policy manuscripts， consulting with dozens of departments， as well as painstakingly planning and conducting tests， she eventually created an enforcement programme of more than 100 pages in length. The substantive and innovative programme highlights Beijing's unique characteristics and addresses for the first time many urgent problems that concern foreign talents the most.

Embracing a Patient and Friendly Work Style

Wang graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University， but she never imagined that a small permanent residence permit could lead to an encounter with the founder of her alma mater. One day， while working at the Zhongguancun Foreigner Service Center  an area known as China's Silicon Valley， Wang had the pleasure of attending to a special foreign applicant. The silver-haired gentleman， dressed impeccably in a suit and Beijing-styled cloth shoes， turned out to be Michael Crook， also known by the Chinese name Ke Makai， the co-founder of the Western Academy of Beijing and an authentic Beijing dialect speaker. His mother， Isabel Crook， was a renowned supporter of China， a pioneer of the country's English education， and had been involved in the establishment of Beijing Foreign Studies University—she was honored with the Order of Friendship of the People's Republic of China in 2019. On that day， Mr. Crook visited the center to inquire about his granddaughter's application for permanent residence in China. After obtaining general information about the Crook's family and referring to the latest optimized immigration policies， Wang identified the simplest approach for their case. She also maintained regular contact with Crook， a long-time holder of a Chinese permanent residence permit， seeking his opinions on the immigration management of the Public Security Bureau， including the convenience of using the permit. Over time， the interactions blossomed into a genuine friendship， allowing them to share thoughts on various topics. Witnessing the family's contented life in Beijing， Wang felt a deep sense of pride in her job. As a foreign affairs officer， she might not directly confront criminals， but her patient and friendly work style still contributes to creating a warm and peaceful world.

The appreciation banners and thank-you notes from permit applicants that reach Wang's office stand as the most compelling evidence of unwavering dedication of Wang and other ordinary foreign affairs officers in Beijing.

At the opening ceremony of the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing， under the theme of "Open Cooperation， Shared Future，" the Foreign Affairs Office of the Beijing Public Security Bureau unveiled the "Setting Sails， Facilitating Enterprises" programme. Watching the promotional video on-site， Wang was delighted to know that her contributions had become a crucial component of the new immigration policy. All the efforts she had put in had been worthwhile， as they would now play a significant role in facilitating Beijing's scientific development and economic growth.

Safeguarding the Nation with Determination

As guardians of the national border and visa officers of the capital， Wang and her colleagues strive to maintain a "zero-error" record in handling applications and verifying documents. Through their dedication， Wang has honed a pair of observant eyes and a discerning mind， enabling her to adeptly identify any false information amidst piles of materials and discern suspicious individuals from applicants' evasive expressions. On one occasion， a foreign couple approached her window to apply for permanent residence. During the process， Wang noticed that the two hardly conversed and displayed no signs of intimacy， especially when asked about their marital life. Their apparent estrangement cast doubts about their marital status.. Spontaneously Wang decided to visit their home to check out. It turned out that the couple was in the process of getting a divorce， making them ineligible for the application. After informing them of the severe consequences of fraudulent immigration applications， Wang diligently carried out follow-up work according to the law to maintain the order of immigration management.

As guardians of the national border， Wang Jingting and her colleagues are resolute in providing no loopholes for any unqualified applicants. As frontline workers of immigration reform， however， they are equally dedicated to delivering the warmest and most efficient service to all eligible applicants. Their goal is to ensure that every foreigner in Beijing will  experience the great capital's openness and inclusivity.
