Pudong airport immigrants leave the country

1) On the plane from China (Shanghai Pudong Airport or Beijing Capital Airport) to Chicago O 'Hare International Airport, fill in the I-94 form and customs declaration form (the flight attendant will issue it to passengers). Fill in these two forms in English.

2) Upon arrival at Chicago O 'Hare International Airport (ORD), all inbound international flights stop at Terminal 5 (International Terminal). After getting off the plane, follow the people. There is only one way to the "arrival hall", line up [there are two different teams: one is an American citizen and a green card holder, and the other is a non-immigrant visitor], meet the immigration officer, hand in the I-94, show your passport and customs declaration form, and other materials, and press your fingerprint. With the approval of U.S. immigration officials, the half chapter of I-94 is attached to your passport (this half chapter of I-94 is very important, so don't lose it when you leave the United States). There are many people waiting in line for this program, and it takes a long time, about 1 hour.

3) Pick up your baggage on the baggage carousel of your flight.

4) After the customs inspection, they submit the customs report and conduct spot checks. There are three situations: one possibility is that the customs officer receives your customs declaration form, then waves his hand and you leave; On the other hand, they accept your customs declaration form and ask you to put your luggage (all luggage, including checked luggage and carry-on luggage) on the conveyor belt of the inspection machine. After the luggage comes, no one asks for you, so you put it on the trolley [in the United States, trolleys at many airports are charged, and ORD trolleys are free to use]. Let's go There is a third possibility. After the machine inspection, some customs officers ask for unpacking inspection. You have to take all your luggage to the customs inspection counter and open it on the spot for them to check. As long as it is not the third case, generally speaking, 10 for several minutes. If it is unpacking inspection, it is difficult to estimate the time. Generally speaking, most of them are the second case.

5) If you buy a plane ticket from China to other cities in the United States, you should give it directly to the baggage carrier (be careful not to damage or lose the airline luggage tag on your luggage, which has the names of the departure airport and the final airport of your luggage). Conveyor belts of airlines (UA or AA, etc. ) looking for you [just at the exit of the customs inspection office, with obvious signs and staff of their airlines next to it], post it.

6) Find your boarding terminal at Chicago O'Hare Airport. You have to get off the plane at the "International Building" of Chicago O'Hare Airport, while domestic flights to other parts of the United States are in another terminal. Oder Airport is very big, so you have to take the Airport Light Rail (ATS) between the terminals. The departure flights of United Airlines (UA) are in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. AA's outbound flights are all in Terminal 3. Go upstairs at the exit of Terminal 5 and take the airport light rail.

If you buy an American airline ticket (such as UA or AA), from Shanghai Pudong Airport to your destination, generally speaking, when boarding at home (Pudong Airport or Beijing Capital Airport), the check-in counter will give you a boarding pass from Shanghai Pudong Airport (airport code PVG, or Beijing Capital Airport, airport code PEK) to Chicago (airport code ORD) and a connecting flight from Chicago. Chicago is on the boarding pass.-you. If there is no terminal and boarding gate number, just look at the flight indication TV screen of Chicago Airport and compare your flight number to see the corresponding boarding gate.

Please check the security again before entering this terminal. The length of the security queue depends on whether your time is at the peak.

The signs of Chicago airport are very clear. You know English, so you can understand.

In short, it takes about 1 month and a half to two hours to go through customs and transit in Chicago.
