Hi everyone,
I will be making my first trip to the US after passing my interview, and I was hoping that you could confirm a few points for me. I've searched for this information on the forums, and I would just like to confirm that the information I have is correct:
1. I do NOT complete a ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) application - this is for people visiting with the Visa waiver program, not for new immigrants.
2. On the plane, I do NOT complete the I-94 form, but I DO complete the Customs Declaration Form. My understanding is that as I'm immigrating, that I don't have to pay duty on my personal possesions.
3. When I arrive at the POE (probably Logan airport, Boston) I should join the queue for NON RESIDENTS, with my passport and envelope out. When I reach the counter (or before if they see me) they will send me to seconday processing.
4. I do NOT have to bring the Xray from the medical.
5. I do NOT have to bring any more passport photos with me; everything that they need should be in the envelope.
Do I have everything correct here? If I am missing anything please let me know. I really don't want any surprises on the day.
Thanks for your help.
