ama537621 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Baba passed his B2 visa last week. Now my only concern is him getting thru immigration without speaking any English. I thought about giving him a letter to give to the officer. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachey Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) We just went through this. We live in Phoenix and drove to Los Angeles to pick him up so he wouldn't have to change planes. I also intentionally booked him on a Chinese Carrier (Air China) so there would be Chinese speakers. We did give him a letter in English that had our address and other information including my wife's cell number if she needed to translate. He did not use it, the Immigration Officer just asked another passenger in line to translate. I was a little surprised but he got through no issues. Leaving he just hooked up with another Chinese couple and got on the plane no issues. They even gave him six months on his visa, he did have a copy of his itinerary which showed a stay of 5 1/2 months. You no longer need a paper copy of the I-95 but we did fill out a customs form that we sent to him. All of this was sent to my wife's cousin who printed it out for Baba.

jonathantwu Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 LAX has tons of TSA/DHS people knows Mandarin/Korean/insert your preferred asian language. You should see the arrival lobby at Tom Bradley Terminal. It is only the largest passengers airport for travelers from Asia.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
