The process of leaving China for the United States

The specific process of entry inspection in the United States is:

1. Prepare valid travel documents before departure.

In order to avoid traffic problems or delays, China tourists accompanying the group to the United States must bring their passports, air tickets and personal travel supplies, and gather at the exit location designated by the travel agency on time to make all preparations for leaving the country.

Fill in the customs application form on the plane to America.

On the plane on the way to the United States, flight attendants will distribute the I-94 form (that is, the arrival/departure record form) and the US customs declaration form to passengers. Inbound passengers can fill in these two forms in advance to speed up customs clearance.

3. After arriving at the airport, go to the inspection area.

Immigration officials will check the documents and valid visas held by immigrants, scan their fingerprints and compare them with photos to ensure that immigrants are indeed the people who have obtained visas to the United States at their domestic American embassies and consulates.

4. It may be necessary to go to the second inspection area.

If the immigration officer is suspicious of the immigrants or is randomly selected, the boarding pass will be stamped with the word SSSS, and the immigrants need to wait for inspection in the second inspection area. Immigrants need to take off their shoes and belts. If there are metal objects in their coats, they may be asked to take them off for inspection.

American searchers should be polite and search in a professional and respectful way. Otherwise, immigrants can report to the customs and seek help, or seek help from the Chinese embassy in the United States.

Be admitted to the country

After the entry is approved, the immigration officer will stamp the I-94 form of the entrant, indicating the entry date, visa status and stay time in the United States, and collect the first half of the form.

6. Pass the customs inspection and leave the airport

Pick up the checked baggage on the corresponding baggage conveyor belt. Customs officials will collect customs declaration forms, and may check whether the immigrants' luggage is contraband and taxed.

After the last stop of customs and border inspection, you can leave the airport or transfer.

Entry procedures:

1, immigration inspection procedures

(1) Passengers are guided to the entry inspection room and queued for inspection according to different entry visas. Non-immigrant visa holders (F 1) should be non-residents, and immigrant visa holders or green cards should be citizens/residents.

(2) Submit passport, I-20 or IAP-66, I-94 and customs declaration form 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, it is up to the immigration officer to decide whether to allow entry. Immigration officers will check the "blacklist" to see if the 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.

(3) Traditionally, immigration officials will ask you some questions. The most important of these questions is to determine your residence (* * * * University), the purpose of coming to the United States (study), and how much money you have with you.

2, baggage claim, customs clearance.

(1) Go to the baggage claim area of the terminal building according to the instructions on the aisle, and find the baggage claim desk of your own flight according to the computer screen or notice (there are flights on the boarding pass).

(2) Take the luggage off the turntable and check the luggage number carefully, because many suitcases look exactly the same.

(3) There are trolleys at the airport, and some trolleys at the airport are free. You can also ask a porter to do it for you. Tip 1 USD.

(4) The international airport is very large, so it is easy to find the wrong turntable when picking up luggage, and sometimes airlines will neglect the operation. Don't be nervous if you can't find your luggage. Check with the airline with the baggage registration stub on the boarding pass. If you still can't find it, you must fill out a loss report form and write down the name and telephone number of the airport service personnel for future inquiry. A classmate once encountered a similar situation and wanted to claim thousands of dollars from the airline. As a result, the airline found it the next day and sent someone home for free. )

(5) When queuing for customs clearance, you may wish to choose the shortest line to queue up for inspection. Don't glance left and right, hesitate, and don't look at the rapid and temporary changes in the other line, resulting in doubts and careful investigation. Smile, be sincere, answer questions, but don't talk too much, lest you ask for trouble.

(6) hand in the certificate when checking the baggage. If the customs requires unpacking inspection, open it immediately, don't hesitate. Don't doubt that the customs officer motioned to pass, and immediately put forward the luggage to leave. According to American law, customs officers have no right to open your luggage without permission, but if they ask you to open it and you refuse, they have the right to open your luggage.

(7) If any prohibited items are found in the luggage, they will be confiscated on the spot. The original packed luggage is in a mess, so it takes some effort to put things back in place. But sometimes if you are lucky, you can get through customs quickly. Take good care of your luggage, no more or less, and don't take any luggage through customs. Beware of others using you to smuggle drugs.

(8) Pay attention to your luggage documents at any time and don't leave your body to avoid being stolen by others.

(9) If the amount brought into the country exceeds 1 10,000 USD, you should take the initiative to declare to the customs and fill in the 4790 form.

After completing the transfer formalities and finding the confirmed door, you can have a rest period. At this time, you might as well walk around, stretch your muscles or go to the toilet.
