Precautions before the interview of American immigrants

Precautions before the interview of American immigrants

1, a good start:

Say good morning and good afternoon to show friendliness and courtesy. Some applicants look nervous, or their facial expressions are dull, or they don't say a word, which easily makes immigration officials have the illusion that the applicants are hiding something.

2. Arrive on time:

If the applicant is late 1 hour or more, except in special circumstances, the immigration officer can generally refuse to meet and the applicant must make a new appointment; If you are late or absent twice, your application will be rejected.

3, fully prepared:

The letter of appointment indicates that you must bring files, but not all of them, and you need to bring more files as appropriate; Especially birth certificate, marriage or divorce certificate, tax bill, address certificate, court verdict, etc.

4. Accurate data:

First, check whether the files are correct and consistent, so as to avoid wrong date of birth, different names, missing proof of marital status change, old address not updated, files not translated into English, data changed but application form not modified, etc. If the immigration officer finds the above mistakes, he will definitely ask for clarification, otherwise the case will be postponed.

5. Answer honestly:

This is the first principle. Talking too much or talking nonsense, even perjury, will cause a lot of trouble.

6. Good communication:

Listen carefully to the immigration officer's question. If you don't understand, you can ask the other party to clarify. Answering casually or understanding mistakes may cause misunderstanding and lead to further questioning.

7. Familiar with the application form:

Passing the naturalization test does not mean successful naturalization; Only prepare for the exam questions, ignoring the formal questions, leading to failure.

Packaging requirements:

Packaging is generally like this, there are no clear rules, but you should be careful not to spill it on your luggage. Many people misunderstand that vacuum sealing is wrong. If you don't want to bring anything, you can bring something with you in vacuum sealing or unsealing.

Requirements for the types of food to be carried:

(1) All chicken, duck, goose, pig, cow, sheep, deer and horse meat are not allowed. Whether sealed or not, or vacuum, or dozens of plastic bags. Whether you are floss, sausage, moon cake, biscuit, ham, canned meat, bacon, sauce meat, fresh meat, bacon, dried meat, patties, jiaozi with minced meat and so on.

(2) In rare cases, meat is acceptable:

That is to say, if it is a sealed can and clearly marked in English on the trademark as cooked, the can can be kept for a long time without freezing. But the rules keep changing. It's only possible. But there is nothing delicious in such canned food. Lunch meat is available in America. And these are all available in the United States, and they are all available and not too expensive.

Of course, it depends on which city you go to. Anyway, San Francisco and Los Angeles basically have everything. Authentic hams are hard to find, and there are some.

(3) Fish, all kinds of fish can be used, such as fish floss, dried fish, canned fish, raw fish and so on. Caviar is limited to 250 grams, and it will be confiscated if it exceeds 250 grams.

(4) Dairy products are generally acceptable. Including yogurt and cheese, but because it is liquid, it has to be checked.

(5) Bean products can also be used, such as dried bean curd and fermented bean curd.

(6) Eight-treasure porridge is OK, but it is also available in supermarkets in China and the United States.

(7) Fruit, all fresh fruits are not allowed. What is dry is sealing, that is, plastic bags in the factory, and no vacuum is needed.

(8) Dried fruits will do. But in China supermarkets in the United States, you can often see common snacks such as checking melon seeds.

(9) If there is egg yolk or meat in the moon cake, it is not allowed to bring it. Other kinds of moon cakes are ok. If there is a clear description of the contents of the mooncake box, there is no need to open it, otherwise customs officers may not only open the box, but also cut the mooncakes for inspection. If someone wants to exploit the loopholes, it may not be feasible to get a fake trademark, because meat can be seen when scanning.

If you cut it open and find meat in it, you'll be in bigger trouble. Eat more in China. Besides, salted egg yolk moon cakes can be bought in big cities with a large population in China. In some parts of the United States, there are jiaozi selling meat stuffing. They are made in America.

(10) Seasonings can be brought, such as tofu, pickles and all kinds of sauces, but they are easy to sprinkle and bottles and cans are easy to break. Please be careful. Generally, domestic supermarkets have them here, so it is not recommended to bring them. Dry seasoning is ok, but California has not allowed peppers to enter the country in recent years, so friends who leave California should pay attention. And China supermarket in California can't buy peppers, so don't be surprised.

(1 1) Lentinus edodes, auricularia auricula, whatever. The dried compressed auricularia auricula in Northeast China is very good, and it is very convenient to send it after coming.

(12) If you take food with you on the plane, leave the leftover fruits, meat and intestines on the plane, and don't bring them down.
