Q:
A:

As a foreign national entering the U.S., you will need certain documents with you as evidence of your legal status. You should have with you:

  • your passport with a valid visa (Canadian citizens are exempt from visa requirement)
  • your I-20 (M-1 visa holders)
  • it is also a good idea to bring proof of your financial support with you, in case the inspector at the airport asks for it

您可以在I-20上列出的项目开始日期前30天内以M身份进入美国(第5部分)。. Please plan accordingly.
If you have your documents properly prepared, your experience with USCIS and Customs (CBP) will go easily, but it might be time consuming. Your experience will be as follows:

  • When you disembark from the airplane at the US airport, you will be directed to the immigration (CBP) station. There, a US inspector will ask to see your passport, visa stamp, and your SEVIS I-20. They may also ask to see proof of financial support.
  • Next, you will be directed to Baggage Claim. If you checked any baggage, those items will be placed on the carousel marked with your flight number. Do not worry if you do not see your bags at first. Sometimes it takes a while to have all bags placed on the carousel.
  • At the US Customs desk, 您将出示您的护照和您的空乘人员在飞机上给您的海关申报单(确保您已填写表格)。. Customs regulations will not allow you to bring fresh foods or plants into the country, so you should leave those items at home. 工作人员可能会要求你打开你的包进行随机检查,或者把它们放在扫描仪上.

Did you lose or misplace your I-20? (Also see FAQ #4)

If you lost or misplaced your I-20, do not panic. Ask the inspector to issue you a Form I-515. The I-515 will allow you to legally enter the US as an M-1, but only for one month. Come to the Admissions Department to check in as soon as possible after you arrive, and we will take care of the Form I-515.
