What's the entry procedure for going to America?

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

When it's your turn to be inspected, give your passport and seaman's card 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 request entry, it is up to the immigration officer to decide whether to allow him to enter the country. 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. ?

Traditionally, immigration officials will ask you some questions, the most important of which is to determine where you live after coming to the United States, the purpose of coming to the United States, and how much money you will bring. ?

4. After asking questions, immigration officials will sign their passports or seamen's certificates-the date of entry, the status of visa signing and the time limit for legal re-entry. ?

2. Baggage claim, customs declaration and customs clearance

1, according to the instructions on the aisle, go to the baggage claim area of the terminal and find the baggage claim desk of your flight according to the computer screen or notice. ?

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

3. 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. ?

If any prohibited items are found in the luggage, they will be confiscated on the spot. The original packed luggage is in a mess, and it will take some effort to put it back. But sometimes if you are lucky, you can get through customs quickly.

5. If the amount brought into the country exceeds 1 10,000 USD, you should take the initiative to declare to the customs. ?

Third, change the plane.

If you want to change planes after entering the country, you have to estimate the time and report to the airport counter of the airline you want to change as soon as possible. Of course, your luggage still needs to be checked again. If the airport is very big, you might as well ask someone for help to avoid going the wrong way.

Extended data:

If the first immigration officer who examines you feels that the evidence you provide is not enough to prove your identity or the real purpose of coming to the United States, he may ask you to conduct a "second examination", which will be more comprehensive and specific.

During the second inspection, immigration officials will ask you more detailed questions about your trip and ask you to provide more documents that can prove your identity and purpose of coming to the United States.

Any foreigner and American citizen may be required to have a second inspection as long as immigration officials have reservations about entry opinions or suspect that this person has smuggled or violated laws and immigration laws.
