Passport-holding tourists from China angered American immigration officials.

A male tourist from Chinese mainland recently angered the immigration officer of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with his passport in his mouth while waiting for entry inspection at Newark International Airport, NSW, USA, and strictly examined his purpose and itinerary of coming to the United States, eventually shortening the usual residence period for foreign tourists to only one month.

The man was scheduled to make an important visit to California this month, but now he faces the trouble of leaving and re-entering the country within one month.

This immigration case that is beyond the routine handling practice occurred on 10129 October. The customer surnamed Chen arrived at Newark Airport that morning, got off the plane at Terminal B, and waited in line with other passengers for entry inspection. Chen Nan can't use his hands because of his guitar and carry-on bag. He put his passport in his mouth and bit it with his teeth. When it was his turn to be questioned, he took it off with his hand and gave it to the immigration officer.

But immigration officials were obviously annoyed by Chen Nan's passport. He took the passport and asked unhappily, "Are you serious?" Then throw the passport back to Chen Nan, Chen Nan is very fierce, and ask him to queue up at the end of the line again.

When Chen Nan was arranged for a face-to-face interview again, the immigration officer was obviously determined and began to tap the keyboard to inquire about Chen Nan's visa data. According to the application information displayed on the computer, he asked why when he applied for a visa in China, he said that he would go to Los Angeles on the west coast to participate in cultural exchange activities, but he entered new york on the east coast one month earlier than his trip, expressing doubts about his visa.

Chen Nan was obviously caught off guard by the immigration officer and failed to give him a satisfactory answer. Immediately, he was asked to go to the CBP interrogation room nearby for further examination. Although a new immigration officer took over the handling, and his attitude was calm, CBP finally decided to give Chen Nan only one month's stay. On June 28th, +065438+ had to leave the country and let him stamp his passport before entering the country.

After entering the country, Chen Nan told his relatives and friends that almost all relatives and heads of visa agencies told him that the immigration officers at American airports could not see the visa application information, so he thought that the B2 tourist visa valid for 10 would definitely get a six-month stay, which was enough for him to arrange a trip across the east and west. Staying for a month is obviously too short, which is bound to upset his plan. Unwilling to return to China and come back to the United States, he had to plan to travel to Canada with relatives and friends in new york at the end of this month, and then fly to Los Angeles to re-enter the country in order to get the expected six-month stay.

Chen Nan said with regret that he didn't expect that a small gesture of getting a passport would lead to serious consequences of shortening his stay. It seems that you should be careful everywhere in America, and you can't be informal.

The following are some cases of China tourists being repatriated by the destination countries listed by the border police for China outbound tourists, and corresponding reminders and suggestions.

Female college students were repatriated for revealing their clothes.

On the morning of April 30 this year, the police at the repatriation office of Beijing entry-exit frontier inspection station received a young woman, Miss Wang, who was repatriated from Southeast Asia. Miss Wang's clothes are very revealing. Although she was wrapped in an aviation blanket, she was still shivering with cold.

Miss Wang said that she is a student of a university in Beijing and will graduate this year. She wants to use her spare time before graduation to travel to country A in Southeast Asia. Unexpectedly, she was refused entry and repatriated to China because of her scantily clad clothes.

The border police reminded that dressing is personal freedom, but we should pay attention to civilized dressing in public, and we should not be too exposed and casual. In some countries, the folk customs are relatively conservative, and clothes that are too exposed in some countries may be suspected of engaging in certain occupations, which may easily bring unnecessary troubles to tourists.

Local tyrants were repatriated without booking a hotel.

Mr. Zhang is a veritable "local tyrant", with several companies and hundreds of millions of personal assets. However, he was also refused entry by the Immigration Bureau of Country B and was repatriated.

The day before yesterday, Mr. Zhang's family traveled to country B and didn't book a hotel before going out. He thinks he has money anyway, and he can stay anywhere he wants in country B.

Unexpectedly, when entering the country, the immigration officer thought that they had not booked the hotel in advance, and the purpose was suspicious, so they invited a family of three to the "little black house" for review. This made Mr. Zhang very angry. He took out a lot of dollars and threw them in front of the immigration officer. The immigration officer thought that he deliberately offended and obstructed law enforcement, and an expulsion order sent his family back to China.

Border police tip: it is best to take enough cash with you when traveling abroad, and book hotels and return air tickets. In case of interrogation by immigration officials, they should actively cooperate and not be willful. The laws of all countries basically give immigration officers certain discretion to refuse entry to passengers who he thinks have impure purposes.

I bought 10 cigarettes at the cheap airport and was refused entry.

Mr. Zhao travels to country C for free. In order to save money, he bought a plane ticket through country F. On the way across the border, he found that the tobacco in duty-free shops in country F was cheap, so he bought 10 cigarettes. Unexpectedly, smoking is strictly prohibited in country C, and each inbound passenger is only allowed to carry one pack of cigarettes. Not only was he fined, but his visa was cancelled and he was sent back to China on the same day.

The border police reminded that overseas shopping should respect local public order and good customs and purchase goods according to local laws. For strictly restricted items such as tobacco, alcohol, animals and plants, we must be careful to buy them so as not to affect entry.

Two years ago, the biological mother was blacklisted and refused entry two years later.

Two years ago, Ms. Yuan gave birth to her daughter in country D in order to let her children win at the starting line. According to the laws of country D, her daughter has the nationality of country D.

Two years later, Ms. Yuan set foot in country D again, but was refused entry by the immigration officer. The immigration officer thought that her last entry concealed her real purpose and her integrity was questioned. Even though she has booked a hotel and a return ticket, she still thinks she is untrustworthy and refuses her re-entry.

The border police reminded that the entry and exit records are actually the integrity records of passengers. Tourists should cherish their credit records, truthfully explain the real purpose of entry, apply for visas according to regulations, and enter and leave the country within the specified time.
