What are the reasons for the repatriation of international students entering the United States?

Recently, students studying in the United States started school, and many China students also started their own trip to the United States. Then, we will know from the news that occasionally some international students will be repatriated. What's this about?

We have a hard-won opportunity to study abroad, but we can't waste it! In order to let you study abroad better, Bian Xiao is here to help you sort out the repatriation behavior of American students studying in the United States. Friends in need have seen it!

On the plane, flight attendants will issue I-94 entry and exit cards and CF-6059 customs declaration forms.

I-94 card: It is a white cardboard form printed by the US Immigration Bureau in English, also known as the entry-exit record card. It consists of two parts, the arrival record.

Departure record

Record.

All foreign tourists must fill in this form, and you must fill in the first page (personal information such as name and date of birth) in English capital letters. In addition, you must also specify your first address and other details when you arrive in the United States. If you don't know how to fill out a form, you can ask the driver for help.

CF-6059 Customs Declaration Form: Some are filled in before boarding/leaving the country, and some are filled in on board, depending on the departure airport.

Please prepare your passport, SEVISI-20 or DS-20 19 form, I-94 entry-exit record card and CF-6059 customs declaration form before you arrive at the checkpoint, so that you can show them to the officials of the Customs and Border Protection Bureau.

There are four main inspection items at American ports of entry:

Customs check the identity of public health immigrants

Agricultural inspection

These four inspections can be conducted by one official or several officials.

When you arrive at the port of entry, please go to the exit of the inbound passengers, arrive at the entry inspection room, and wait in line for inspection according to the different entry visas. Non-immigrant visa holders (F 1) should be non-immigrants in the areas where foreign tourists enter.

(non-residents) queuing;

Holders of immigrant visas or green cards should be listed as citizens/residents.

Please show me your passport when it's your turn to be inspected, SEVIS.

Submit I-20 or DS-20 19 form, I-94 entry and exit record card (indicating the address where you will live in the United States) and CF-6059 customs declaration form to the immigration officer for inspection.

Traditionally, immigration officials will ask you some questions, such as "staying in the United States", "purpose of visiting the United States", "planning to stay in the United States" and "how much money to bring".

When answering questions, you must state that you are a student or an exchange scholar, and the name and address of your school or exchange program.

Immigration officials will ask you to leave your fingerprints on the scanning device and take a digital photo on the spot after asking questions.

Finally, I-20 or IAP-66 and I-94 will be stamped with the date of entry.

(This date is the deadline for visitors to the United States to be allowed to live in the United States), sign the visa status and the legal re-entry period, and set this card on the inside page of the passport.

Under what circumstances will international students be repatriated? Not enough credits, bad grades, refused entry

A student studying in new york is going to be a junior this year. Because of poor grades, he transferred from new york State University to a community college. Later, due to the loose management of the community college, he didn't register the minimum 12 credit course for full-time students.

He returned to America after his holiday. When he entered the New York airport, he was not only carefully questioned by the customs about his grades and school situation, but also taken to a dark room to check his luggage. The end result is being refused entry and repatriation.

The student's visa English is not good and he was repatriated.

A student studying in Los Angeles answered irrelevant questions when he returned home to visit relatives during the winter vacation and then went back to the United States for customs. Even the simplest question asked by the customs, he had to repeat it several times to understand it a little, and sometimes he answered irrelevant questions as if he didn't understand the question at all.

This aroused the suspicion of the customs, so he was called into the dark room and the students became more nervous. Finally, he had to call an Asian official to translate the student before he realized that he was sent back by the customs on the grounds of poor English.

International students were repatriated on suspicion of working illegally.

Wang, an international student from China, went home for the Spring Festival and went back to school. When he entered the customs at Los Angeles airport, he was taken to a dark room for inspection. The customs asked to see Wang's mobile phone.

Looking carefully at the WeChat chat record, I found a passage in the chat record: a classmate asked Wang for help to take the exam, but Wang refused, but the customs still suspected that he was suspected of taking the exam, and classified this behavior as "illegal work" and repatriated it.

According to Wang's friend's analysis, although the main reason for being repatriated seems to be for exams, negative academic reaction is also a potential factor for repatriation.

In recent years, Mr. Wang has transferred to a community college, but so far he has not transferred to an ordinary university. Moreover, it has been a month since the start of the American university, and Mr. Wang returned to school from China, which inevitably made the visa officer question what he was doing in the United States with a student visa.

Wechat chat records were found to have problems and were repatriated.

On February 27th last year, a female student from China was detained in a darkroom for questioning when she entered the United States, because she returned to China as a student.

At that time, girls were affiliated with a university and maintained their student status of F 1. She was asked to hand over her mobile phone. A few hours later, the customs officers turned out her WeChat chat record six months ago. The sentence in it was "I don't really want to go to school, I just temporarily linked my identity", which was recognized as a fake student by the customs and refused entry.

International students suspected of illegal work were repatriated, which triggered a heated discussion.

A female student studying in China was asked to submit her mobile phone when she blew herself up and entered the United States. She was searched by the customs, interrogated in a dark room, and finally forcibly escorted and repatriated, never to return to the United States. It caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

The reason is that she once chatted with friends on social media Facebook and mentioned that she would help a study agent introduce tourists, so the customs thought she was suspected of working illegally in the United States. Although she defended herself many times and said that she had not received any remuneration, the customs still thought that she had violated the law and was sent back to China.

When studying in the United States, everyone should pay attention to some laws and other requirements of other countries. Just concentrate on your studies and take part in some activities occasionally, but don't do bad things. After all, studying abroad is really not easy! Please cherish!
