1. Nobody stop the guy when he left for Chicago from Toronto at Pearson Airport. But there is stuff of UA stop him at Beijing Airport.

2. why not Air Canada stop him too for the same reason if it's a common rule to keep your passport valid more than 6 months.

3. I know you have to keep your passport valid for more than 6 months to apply any country's visa but actually that guy got the 3 year US visa on his passport. His US visa should be no problem.

Anyway, just want to remind all Chinese people pay more attention on the international travel rule of different air company. Especially US air company. Like the friends on rolia said, keep yourself informed. Before ordering your ticket, log on the air company's website to check if there is any special rules or ask friends on rolia.

枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / 千万别从美国过境，美国人会想办法给你制造麻烦！！！ -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-20 {1099} (#988622@0)
本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛去年底、今年初，我买了一张美联航 (UA) 的机票回国，没想到因此浪费了一千多加圆，还着了很大的急。

因此，我发誓再也不买美国过境的机票，特别是美国航空公司的机票，即使将来我拿到加拿大护照。

事情简单而气人。

我的飞机是从多伦多到芝加哥转机，再飞北京。

去的时候，一切还算顺利，唯一奇怪的是在离开芝加哥登机时，联航的一个职员看完我的护照把我上面还没有到期的 I-94 卡撕掉了，我问他为什么，他说：“你回来时，他们会再给你一张。”我也没在意就上了飞机。

一周后，当我在北京首都机场托运行李领登记牌时，也是一个 UA 雇员告诉我：“对不起，你走不了。我们刚接到的通知，所有护照有效期少于半年的，不能从美国过境。”！！！？？？
而且，那个工作人员告诉我，如果我飞到芝加哥，更麻烦。这时，我又见到另一位中国旅客，碰到了和我一样的问题。我只好打道回府。

第二天，折腾了半天，重新办护照要 3-5 天，等不及，回来晚了要丢工作；只好另买了一张加航的单程票，晚了两天赶回来，耽误了好多事情，还好工作没耽误。

我就不明白，过境总共需要一小时十五分钟，他美国管我护照有效期够不够半年？！荒唐。

我的一些朋友，也在过境美国时碰到过其他麻烦。

所以，这里提醒同胞，如果不去美国，千万别从美国过境，否则他们会想尽办法麻烦你。更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

这要求是合理的，将来你入了加籍，办中国签证时，也要求你护照有效期半年以上。你应该走之前到中国领馆办护照延期，很方便的。同样的路线我走过，没有任何问题。乘飞机离开美国前要交回i-94，正常，与你后来的事没有关系。 -eglington(eglington); 2003-1-20 (#988637@0)

冒昧地问一句，什么是i-94? -naughtypig(皮皮猪起个大早); 2003-1-20 (#988653@0)

但我去时, 从加拿大过境为什么可以? 离境时, i-94 交回不是必需的, 我交过, 都是自愿的; 我离美国境不是一次两次了. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 (#997028@0)

If you show your passport to the INS inspector in Pearson and tell them your passport will get expired in less than 6 months, you will be barred for sure. -yuanzidan(原子弹); 2003-1-24 {121} (#997156@0)
They let you in by overlooking the experie date, which does not necessarily mean you will be granted to be in next time.

I ever gave my I-94 to the staff on the airport or the visa officer. They all asked me: "Don't you want to go to US again within this half year?" Then if I insist they'd take it. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 {78} (#997048@0)
But this time, the guy just tear the I-94 down and askd me nothing. The same?

you don't need surrender the I94 when you are leaving US to Canada. But you must and are forced to give it up when you are leaving US to China. That's the rule. -yuanzidan(原子弹); 2003-1-24 (#997135@0)

That's the point, man. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 (#997477@0)

过境和办签证是两件事情. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 (#997060@0)

办签证, 要求你护照有效期半年以上. 过境/入境,也要求你护照有效期半年以上. -yuanzidan(原子弹); 2003-1-24 (#997163@0)

my thought -mssg(mssg); 2003-1-20 {300} (#988638@0)
1. Wish you asked the question at Rolia before the travel.

2. The rule has been there for quite a long time.

3. Don't take it personal, save money when you can,

4. Always make yourself informed.

5. I had the same experience if it could make you feel better. I learned 4) in a hard way.
护照有效期少于半年就要办延期，几乎所有的国家都不给签证给有效期少于6个月的护照。 -tytang(TY); 2003-1-20 (#988644@0)

I have US visa already. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 (#997034@0)

签证和护照是两码事情 -hardywang(Hardy); 2003-1-24 (#997346@0)

The UA staff told me, what they do is following a new rule just transferred from the states to their computer in Beijing a few days ago. I don't know how come you guys knew it so early. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 (#997485@0)

why you post this again and again?? you have already posted that at #990387. -mafan(麻烦); 2003-1-22 (#992695@0)

不好意思, yesterday I browsed the forum and add some opinion followed this topic. Now I found it appeared again. -selinna(ll); 2003-1-23 {165} (#994400@0)
I may forget click the option which is don't refresh this topic to the front of the forum. Hehe, 新手上路，手忒潮。Need more learning from DXs on how to use forum.

我的看法:1,护照少过6个月许多国家都不许入境.2,如果你是乘飞机离开美国的,I-94表会在你办理登机手续时,他们会自动拿掉的. 如果你是开车的话,没人会管I-94表,除非你自动交出. -jzwang(hello); 2003-1-24 (#997057@0)
我感觉美国人的态度很不友好，有时专门刁难。我去美国时如果和本地白人一起，有一次连护照都不看，基本不用下车。如果是和东欧的同事，每次都要下车到里面谈。我感觉他们不是按规定办的，有很大的随机型和灵活性。 -pyramid(㊣金字塔); 2003-1-24 (#997255@0)

当然，EGG因为涨的漂亮，可能不同于我们一般的华人，所以他的经验不足为凭。 -pyramid(㊣金字塔); 2003-1-24 (#997260@0)

Hey buddy, come on, it is lunch time. -mjs(臭豆腐-俏鲁达); 2003-1-24 (#997267@0)

这个要求不过分啊。很多地方都要求你的护照要又半年以上的有效期才能入境的。不光美国如此。这也不是911后出来的新规定。一直都有。 -johnnyhatesjazz(Rock and Roll); 2003-1-24 (#997266@0)

从 korea 过境, 也要求护照有效期半年以上吗? -tiantain(tiantian); 2003-1-24 (#997357@0)

even Canadian passport -yuanzidan(原子弹); 2003-1-24 (#997404@0)
没去过韩国不知道。但美国，加拿大，英国，法国，意大利，丹麦，瑞典，挪威和德国都是要求半年的。 -johnnyhatesjazz(Rock and Roll); 2003-1-24 (#997422@0)

The UA staff told me, what they do is following a new rule just transferred from the states to their computer in Beijing a few days ago. He even wanted to show me his computer screen. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 (#997496@0)

那他说的应该是其他的rule，而不是护照要有半年有效期的问题。至少在5年以前我第一次去美国就有了。再往前不知道。此外，上面我贴子列举的国家我当初去的时候也是要求半年的有效期。 -johnnyhatesjazz(Rock and Roll); 2003-1-24 (#997509@0)

He said it's this thing but not others. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 (#997521@0)

去年, 我持一本过期护照, 离开加国,入境香港,再去新加坡.一路畅通无阻. 朋友说她延期护照的事,猛然记起我是和她同时申请的. 朋友"称赞"我很勇感.真是后怕!看来,留意护照是自己的事呀.別学我方 -slow(山竹); 2003-1-24 (#997378@0)
I drove to America a few times with my daughter. They even didn't ask for our ID, just one or two questions. -noideas(胡不归); 2003-1-24 (#997389@0)
眾位ggmm我有一個問題﹐可能知道的人比較少﹐就是從加拿大途徑美國回中國﹐買的往返的機票﹐再從中國回來又途徑美國可以嗎﹖ -zziixx(公牛); 2003-1-24 (#997526@0)

You'll be in trouble. -sunwave61(paul); 2003-1-24 (#997571@0)

my passport will be expired on 2003.6.2, I applied US visa on 2002.12.8, and enter US on 2002.12.23, there was not any problem. May be my experience is different story from yours. -fishslice(绝望生鱼片); 2003-1-24 (#997606@0)
