Recently, the United States issued new regulations requiring all travelers entering the U.S., whether U.S. citizens or foreign nationals, to undergo security screening, with no one exempt from an interview. Entering the U.S. is now like undergoing a rigorous interview process; in addition to questioning, carry-on luggage will also be subject to strict inspections.
These new regulations have a broad scope and affect a large number of people
105 countries
280 airports
180 airlines
Over 2,100 flights
Over 320,000 passengers
All individuals entering the U.S. are subject to security interviews
Arguably the strictest regulations in U.S. history
The future path to the U.S. will be more difficult
Reports indicate that all Chinese nationals traveling to the U.S., including those on work visas, Green Card holders, and even U.S. citizens of Chinese descent, will face various questions and inspections from the moment they step into the airport until they successfully enter the U.S., regardless of their departure point.
The "U.S. security screening" policy is implemented by individual airlines. Staff from airlines such as Xiamen Airlines and Air China have stated that they have received the new U.S. regulations and will fully comply with them. They noted that during passenger check-in, dedicated ground staff or security personnel will be arranged to conduct interviews with passengers or require them to fill out questionnaires.
A passenger from Hong Kong traveling to Los Angeles stated that these new regulations are serious and they have never seen anything this strict. Even questions about who packed the luggage are asked, including: Did the luggage leave your sight after packing? Are you carrying anything for others? What specific items are you carrying? What is your flight destination? Who are you traveling with? and a series of other questions.
In short, the future path to the U.S. will certainly be more difficult. For those planning to travel to the U.S., it is essential to understand the relevant regulations in advance and make sufficient preparations.
What questions will be asked during the interview?
With the current strict U.S. entry interviews, those entering the U.S. can think about these questions in advance to avoid mistakes caused by panic at the time.
1. Where will you stay?
Question: Where will you be staying?
I will stay in XXX Hotel. / I will stay at my place in XXX.
Answer: I will be staying at the XXX Hotel. / I will be staying at my residence in XXX.

2. What is the purpose of your visit?
Question: What is the purpose of your visit?
A: I am here for a vacation. / I am here to visit my family and friends. / I am here for a business trip.

WorldWay Tips: Arrive at the airport at least three hours before flying to the U.S.
Increasingly strict entry policies mean longer security screening times and longer queues. Therefore, it is recommended that travelers to the U.S. arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before flight departure to allow sufficient time, so as not to miss the flight due to long security interview times.
