The process of flying to America

Prepare some change of clothes, or some gifts.

Take good care of passports and other documents.

Take a pen with you.

Change some dollars at home.

No matter entering or leaving the United States, you can only carry liquids, gels and aerosols in containers with a capacity of no more than 3 ounces (100 ml) and put them in zippered and opened 1 quart (1 liter) bags. When entering or leaving the country, pay attention to your words and deeds and don't talk nonsense about terrorism.

1. All people entering the United States from land ports, airport ports or seaports should be inspected. If you go to the United States by plane or ship and hold a non-immigrant visa, the service staff on the plane or ship will issue you an I-94 form [arrival/departure record], which records the personal information of immigrants and their addresses in the United States, and divides it into two parts with perforated lines. The first half is the arrival record, which will be taken back by the immigration officer after entry. The lower part is the departure record, which will be returned when leaving the country.

There are four main inspection items at American ports of entry: 1, public health; 2. Immigration status; 3. Customs inspection; 4. Agricultural inspection. These four inspections can be conducted by one official or several officials.

At the port of entry, the immigration officer will check the documents and valid visas held by immigrants, scan their fingerprints and compare them with photos, and examine the reasons for going to the United States to decide whether to allow the inspected people to enter the country and how long they can stay in the United States. If allowed to enter the country, the immigration officer will stamp the entry date, visa status and stay time in the United States on the I-94 form of the entrant, and collect the upper part of the I-94 form (the lower part of the I-94 form approved by the port immigration officer is the proof of legal entry into the United States and needs to be properly kept). If the immigration officer has doubts about the immigration purpose or documents held by the immigrants, or is randomly selected, the immigrants need to wait for inspection and further interviews in the second inspection area. It should be noted that holding a valid American visa does not guarantee entry, and immigration officials at American ports have the final decision on whether to allow entry.

At the port of entry, immigrants may be searched. At this time, American searchers should be polite and conduct searches in a professional and respectful manner. Otherwise, immigrants can report to the Director of Customs and Border Protection and seek help, or seek help from the Chinese Embassy and Consulate General in the United States.

2. When leaving the United States, the exit personnel must take fingerprints and photos again, and return the lower part of the I-94 form to the port immigration officer. If it is not returned, it will be regarded as overstaying and may be prohibited from re-entering; If the I-94 form is lost or damaged during your stay in the United States, you must report it to the nearby immigration office in time and apply for a replacement; If you forget to return the form when you leave the country, you can keep a copy of the form and other materials that can prove your departure and send it to:

United States customs regulations

1. On the plane, ship and other means of transportation on the way to the United States, the attendant will distribute the US Customs Declaration Form (Form 6059B) to passengers, which has been translated into many languages, including Chinese. Passengers can fill in this form in advance to speed up customs clearance.

At the port of entry, customs officials will collect customs declaration forms and may check whether the luggage of immigrants has contraband and whether it is taxed. Articles prohibited or restricted by the customs are generally articles that will affect public health, public safety, the lives of staff, children or the growth of animals and plants. For articles that are not sure whether they will be prohibited from entering the United States, it is best to consult the relevant departments of embassies and consulates in China or the United States before departure.
