How to answer the immigration officer's questions when entering the customs will be smooth.

The first situation. Answer customs questions directly.

They are "rough", "big", "stupid" and "straight" about how to answer the questions of immigration officials when entering the customs, and they can't think straight.

People in China speak "by leaps and bounds" and give more information when answering questions. This is particularly easy to lose when dealing with American immigration officials.

For example, the immigration officer asked, "Are you married?" You answered: "I have two children", but you only need to answer "married". The immigration officer asked, "Did you graduate from college?" You answered "I have been working for three years".

This way of answering questions will give immigration officers two signals:

First, you have a bad attitude and are contradicting him;

Second, you are dishonest if you don't answer the question directly.

So the way to answer questions must be true, simple and direct.

The second situation. Pay attention to cultural differences.

For example, you can speak English, but you said "I can't speak English" and "my English is poor" in front of the immigration officer, but the immigration officer thinks that you can speak English now, and you speak it very well, but you always deny it, so you are lying.

Besides, China people especially like to say "I'm sorry" when dealing with immigration officers, but in fact "I'm sorry" is a very heavy word in English, especially when dealing with law enforcement officers. You didn't do anything wrong. You should never say "I'm sorry".

In the third case, the DS 160 table is consistent with the actual situation.

Be sure to check whether the information in the DS- 160 form is true before entering the country.

For example, when some only children in China filled in the DS- 160 form, the item "Brother and Sister" was "No", but when the immigration officer asked "Who will meet you at the airport", they answered "My brother". The word "brother" in American law is "brother", which is inconsistent with the information in the DS- 160 form. In fact, this is due to a misunderstanding of cultural differences, and it should be said that it is "cousin".

In addition, it is a job for parents to go to the United States to take care of their pregnant daughter;

People sent by the company to the United States enter the country with B 1 and B2, but they will be repatriated when they answer questions about their work in the American branch.

Therefore, when answering the questions of immigration officers, if the answers are inconsistent with the information provided, they will be sent back to China.

In the fourth case, the questions answered are consistent with the people and articles carried with you.

Finally, the questions you answer should be consistent not only with the information in the DS- 160 form, but also with the things and people you carry with you.

There was a case at Seattle airport: a mother took her daughter to the United States, and an immigration official asked, "This is not winter and summer vacation. Your 1 1, why did you come to the United States in June? " Mother began to prevaricate and couldn't answer. As a result, I checked my mother's luggage and found that she brought a kitchen knife, a chopping board, a personal birth notarization and a marriage notarization. Obviously, she wants to live in the United States for a long time and apply for other identities. As a result, she was detained on the spot by immigration and repatriated by the next plane.
