(1) Passengers are guided to the entry-exit inspection room and queued for inspection according to different entry visas. Non-immigrant visa holders (F 1) should be in the non-resident queue, while immigrant visa holders or green card holders should be in the citizen/resident queue.

(2) When it is the transit person's turn to be inspected, the passport, I-20 or IAP-66, I-94 and customs declaration form should be handed over to the immigration officer for inspection. You know, holding a passport and visa does not guarantee entry. Because the visa only gives the holder the right to enter the country, whether or not to allow entry depends on the immigration officer. Immigration officials will check the blacklist gt; See if this foreigner is on the list. If he has a bad record in the immigration department in the past, it will be difficult for him to enter the country if he is deported.

As usual, immigration officials will ask people crossing the border some questions. The most important of these issues is to determine the domicile of the applicant after coming to the United States (* ****Univ), the purpose of coming to the United States (Studing) and how much money to bring. Don't be nervous, just answer calmly.

(4) After asking questions, immigration officials will sign and seal I-20 or IAP-66 and I-94, indicate the date of entry, and sign their visa status and legal re-entry period.

If the applicant holds a (F- 1) visa, the United States will allow the applicant to stay in the United States for the necessary number of years to complete his studies. Therefore, immigration officials usually stamp column I-94 with a D/S seal. If the applicant holds an exchange scholar (J- 1) visa, the United States only allows the applicant to stay for a certain period of time and must study the courses specified in IAP-66 in order to maintain the exchange scholar status. Regardless of whether the applicant holds an F- 1 or J- 1 visa, the applicant must pay attention to the fact that the passport must always be valid for more than 6 months when entering the country.

(5) The immigration officer will tear off the exit part of I-94, nail it on the passport and return the third page of I-20 or IAP-66 to you. You should immediately confirm that the added information is correct, and if there are any mistakes, please correct them immediately. Going back to ask for or ask questions after leaving the counter will only increase your troubles. You must note that I-94 is the only document that proves that you entered the United States legally. Although it is only a small piece of paper, it must be put together with your passport during your stay in the United States. If you lose it, you must apply to the nearby immigration office for a replacement.

9. US Customs Entry Process

90 days, no need to leave the country once a month.

Nationality For this group of permanent residents who hold American green cards, China does not need a visa to travel to and from China and the United States, while those who hold American passports need to apply for and complete a Chinese visa before entering China. The procedures are cumbersome and the cost is not low. If the visa expires or the number of entry times is insufficient, they must apply for a new visa.

It is more convenient for people who travel frequently between China and the United States to hold green cards. Green card holders who have lived in the United States for 3-5 years can apply for American citizenship and obtain American passports. However, since China does not recognize dual citizenship, naturalization in the United States means giving up China citizenship. Therefore, for the convenience of returning to China, many people often give up their American passports and keep their green card status.
