 Worldway Immigration Group reminds everyone: When flying to the United States now, you may need to arrive at the airport 3 hours in advance, or you risk missing your flight!

 

Starting October 26, new security measures will be implemented for flights to the United States, including security interviews with passengers before boarding. It is estimated that 325,000 passengers flying to the United States on 180 airlines from 105 countries will be affected daily.



 

  To address the threat of international terrorism, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued an emergency security amendment on June 29, requiring the implementation of enhanced security control measures for US-bound flights in two phases.

 

  Phase One: Enhanced inspection of electronic devices larger than a mobile phone (such as tablets, laptops, e-readers, DVD players, game consoles, and cameras) carried by passengers on US-bound flights, which has been implemented since July 17.

 



 

  Phase Two: Security questions will be asked of passengers boarding US-bound flights. This will be implemented starting October 26 for both US carriers and airlines flying to the United States from Taiwan.

 

  Major airlines have already indicated that all flights to the United States will comply with the latest relevant regulations of the US government. The biggest difference between the new regulations and the past is: Airlines will conduct security-related interviews.

 

Where will the inspection take place?

 

  First, the implementation of this policy is carried out specifically by each airline, so there may be differences in execution. However, generally, there will be dedicated security personnel at the check-in counter, security checkpoint, and boarding gate to conduct security interviews with you.

 

  Regardless of the method, it will increase your waiting time. Therefore, all passengers traveling to the United States, please be sure to arrive at the airport even earlier to avoid delays during the security process.

   

 
 

  What questions will be asked?

 

  According to currently disclosed information, the security interview questions mainly focus on luggage and the purpose of travel to the United States, such as:

 

  Did you pack your luggage yourself? Has it left your sight since packing? Are you carrying anything for others? What exactly are you carrying? What is your flight destination? Who are you traveling with?……

 

  The new regulations require each airline to designate specifically trained security personnel to complete the questioning process. In addition to asking questions, these individuals will also observe the passenger's demeanor. If a passenger provides vague or suspicious answers, they have the authority to list you as a high-risk passenger. You will be taken to a designated location for further questioning by airport police and an inspection of your luggage.

 

  New regulations implemented, what should you do?


  As a passenger, you should first avoid carrying unknown items for others to avoid unnecessary trouble. If you are carrying items for others, please ensure that the items comply with US Customs entry regulations before packing.

 

  At the same time, remain calm when answering questions from security personnel and clearly state your purpose for visiting the United States.

  Worldway Tips: Security is stricter, please be sure to arrive at the airport 3 hours in advance

 

  Important things to say three times: Please allow sufficient time for security! The Airlines for America (A4A) stated that the new regulations are "complex security measures" and recommends that all passengers arrive at the airport at least three hours before flight departure to allow extra time for security measures.

 

  Nowadays, going abroad is not just for tourism or study. More and more people are realizing the global allocation of their assets. The combination of investment and immigration has been recognized by many people in recent years. The United States, with its prosperous charm, superior environment, advanced high-tech, and excellent education, attracts a large number of Chinese people. The US EB-5 Act project has lower capital requirements, does not require assets to be derived from business, and has no language or academic requirements, making it one of the most well-known and cost-effective ways to immigrate to the United States.

 

  Worldway immigration experts remind that the current policy for EB-5 investment immigration, which requires an investment of only $500,000 with a low threshold and high cost-effectiveness, will expire on December 8 this year. Worldway Immigration Group is currently selling two high-quality EB-5 projects: Located in the "US Economic Growth Pole" of Dallas, hailed as the "2017 EB-5 Diamond Project" — Dallas No. 1, will provide assistance for investors to race to the finish line before "12.8". It is recommended that investors interested in immigrating to the United States seize the final policy dividend period.
