分享Combo卡寄回国&入关经验# Immigration - 落地生根

最近国内家里出了点急事，必须回去。好在出事前已经知道combo card被approval了。
昨天刚回美国，分享几个重要部分：
1. 从通知被approval到卡收到有一周多些延迟。我在最后附录了我的timeline。
2. 卡寄到美国家里是周六，马上Fedex international priority，$65，次周的周三收
到。UPS的最快投递速度要晚一天，所以没用。
3. 我目前本是H1B，还有两年多有效，但是考虑签证需要时间和钱，还要冒被check的
风险，所以决定还是用combo卡，反正绿卡应该也很快到了。
4. 离开中国的时候，两次用到了combo卡，首先是领票的时候，航空公司的客服需要确
认你有进入美国的visa；其次是出关盖章的时候。
5. 入关的时候理所当然的被请进了“小黑屋”（secondary inspection）。不过这个
office，并没什么特殊的，感觉像airline customer services，除了每个CSR都带把枪
。。。
6. 进门就把护照和卡交上去，放进塑料袋里，然后CSR们就自己过去取一个（类似car
repair那种）。我等了有15min，感觉那个CSR比较慢，不过一个问题都没问，直接就说
“you are all set.”，拿了卡和护照，走人。
以上
P.S. 我的timeline，注意一下USCIS小字的不同:
