United States entry procedures

It is a common thing to enter the country for inspection, just like entering a subway station, but customs inspection is not a simple matter. I don't know if you know it, but you also need to think that you are not afraid of shadows, but you will eventually find that if you don't know the rules, you will still make all kinds of mistakes.

Everyone has heard about the little black house in the pass, and the scene in the movie seems terrible! Many people who successfully obtain American visas have a threshold when they enter the country smoothly, and the customs will be relatively strict. Today, Bian Xiao will comb it for you. After the plane landed, the actual situation of the entry customs will easily start a new journey in the United States. Next, I will talk about the strategies that American customs and naturalization need to pay attention to for the reference of American friends.

Immigration inspection is the primary consideration. Frankly speaking, US immigration officials control whether they can enter the United States. The US Customs mainly checks whether the luggage of immigrants pays customs duties and carries prohibited items.

First, fill in the customs declaration form

The stewardess will issue customs declaration forms during the flight. The form must be filled in capital letters. The customs declaration is based on the family, and immediate family members can fill in the form. If they don't know English, the aviation magazine in front of the seat has a Chinese translation of each item, and fill in the application English;

Second, border inspection.

After getting off the plane, go to the arrival hall and queue up for entry formalities.

The following documents must be prepared:

1 Passport and valid visa

2. Round-trip e-ticket for travel itinerary

3. English tourist routes (marked with specific hotels)

4. Hotel Confirmation Sheet

Questions raised by border guards in the interview;

1. Is this your first visit to America? If not, when did you first come, what was your purpose, how long did you stay and where did you go?

2. What's the purpose of your coming to America?

3. When will you go back to China?

You only need to return to China during your passport stay.

Third, pack your personal luggage.

The flight number is displayed on the big screen of the airport. Just wait patiently for the corresponding turntable to pick up your luggage. Please be sure to bring contraband. The quarantine department will lead the dog to smell the suitcase when the baggage is claimed. Don't be afraid, it is very docile.

Fourth, customs spot checks.

Customs spot check is the last link to enter the United States, submitting customs declarations, and taking the green channel for undeclared items; If there is anything to declare, go to the red notice. Avoid being fined by the customs, and be sure to declare it truthfully.

Customs officers will conduct random inspection and evaluation, and those who fail to enter the country will be confiscated and no additional fines will be incurred.

Questions for border guards may be:

1. Is this your first visit to America? If not, when did you first come, what was your purpose, how long did you stay and where did you go?

2. What's the purpose of your coming to America?

3. Which cities are you going to and how many days will you stay?

4. When will you go back to China?

5. Did you come alone? If not, what is the relationship between family members?

The above questions are for reference only, which are roughly these questions. Don't worry, it won't be difficult to prepare in advance.

Matters needing attention

After the border defense step, we have succeeded more than half. The border guards will stamp your passport with the visa type and duration of stay, as long as you return to China before this period.

It doesn't matter if you can't speak English.

The official has a booklet printed in Chinese. He will tell you which question he is asking. For the yes or no answer, you just need to simply say yes or no. When asking what you are here for, if you can't tell whether it is a trip or a holiday, you can directly put a pile of materials in front of him and then show him your travel itinerary. To ask how long you will stay, you can show him the date of your flight back to China on the ticket reservation letter, and they will look at the information you provided.

What should I do if I don't understand what the interviewer said?

If you don't understand, just spread your hands, shrug your shoulders and smile at him, or say "I don't know" or "anyone can"

SpeakChinese ",and then he will ask an official who can speak Chinese to translate for you. Don't answer yes without understanding.

Yes, then you are likely to be self-defeating and answer wrong. As a foreigner, it is normal for you not to understand their language, so it is normal for you not to understand it. Just smile generously and calmly.
