U.S. B 1B2 Visa Processing Process and Strategy

American B 1 and B2 visas are the necessary visa modes for many people to travel and study in the United States. Many people don't know much about the acquisition process and difficulty coefficient of this visa, hoping to master the visa process and make it more convenient for guidance.

With a B 1/B2 visa and timely EVUS registration, theoretically you can board a flight to the United States. But people with visas can't guarantee entry into the United States.

It is the border inspectors at the American entry port who decide whether you can enter the United States and how long you will stay in the United States. Therefore, only by making full preparations and communicating frankly and effectively with border officials can we successfully enter the United States without any other problems.

First of all, on the flight to the United States, the stewardess will issue a US customs declaration form. The I-94 entry and exit form previously completed has been cancelled. A family only needs to fill out a customs declaration form. Generally, the forms are in English, and there is also a Chinese version on the flight from China (see the above picture. However, the form must be filled in English and must be filled in capital letters. In order to save customs clearance time, you'd better fill out this form on the plane. If you don't know much about English, you can print out the above picture and ask a friend who knows English to fill it out for you in advance and copy it on the plane. Of course, you can also ask China stewardesses or other enthusiastic passengers for help on the plane.

When you get off the plane at an American port, you first walk to the immigration hall with a large group of people. Find a queue marked "Visitors". If it is the peak of inbound flights, the queue time will be longer. Please be patient.

Be careful not to take photos with your mobile phone at this time, or others will mistakenly think that you are taking photos. (The picture above shows the network data map. Generally, large entry ports in the United States have self-service fingerprint detectors. When you queue up to enter the machine, first select the "Simplified Chinese" option on the homepage. In this way, all human-computer conversations will be in Chinese, which is very convenient.

According to the prompt on the machine screen, scan the US visa page on the passport first, and then check the fingerprint. After the fingerprint is verified, the machine will prompt you to take a photo. After taking pictures in front of the camera, the machine will spit out a small note with your head and related information printed on it. All you have to do is put this paper in your passport and wait in line for the manual inquiry by the border inspectors.

Because it has been audited by machines before, the cross-examination by border inspectors is relatively simple now. At most, they will only ask, "How long are you going to stay in the United States?" .

People with poor English listening only need to hear the "how long" at the beginning of a sentence, which is a problem in nine cases out of ten. At this time, you only need to answer the time you plan to stay, such as 15 days, such as 2 months, and so on.

Then, the border inspector will put a stamp on the blank page of your passport and fill in the stay time. If you act naturally and he is in a good mood, he will usually fill in the deadline of up to 6 months.

So you can enter the country to get your luggage. If you are afraid that you can't express yourself clearly in English, you can take a printed return e-ticket with you, which will show the time when you left the United States.

If he asks you what you are doing in the United States, you can come up with pre-printed itinerary, hotel reservations and other supporting materials and answer truthfully. If English is really not good, border inspectors will turn to China Customs staff for translation, so don't worry too much.

It should be noted that you can't work on a B 1/B2 visa. If you are going to America to look after your children, you must not say so. In that case, Americans will think that you will be refused entry to the United States and repatriated to China by the original plane. Let's just say we're reunited with our children.

After you pick up your luggage from the baggage carousel, you can go through the customs. At this time, you need to take out the completed customs declaration form on the plane. If you are honest, the customs officer will accept your declaration form and wave you through the customs.

But it is also possible to let your luggage pass through the X-ray machine. If there are no prohibited items in your luggage, you can easily go through the customs. If there are animals, plants, fruits, food, etc. It's in your luggage. It may be troublesome and you will be asked to unpack. Asked a lot of questions. In addition, the foreign currency carried by each family exceeds $6.5438+0 million, which must be declared on the list, otherwise it may be confiscated.

In addition, people over 2 1 year-old can bring tobacco and alcohol into the country, but alcohol does not exceed 1 liter, cigarettes do not exceed 200, and cigars do not exceed 100. You'd better put the medicine in the original box. It seems reasonable to take it yourself.
