比如问在美国停留多久，要回答 two weeks, three months, from September 5th to December 10th, 避免说 about half a month;再比如问住哪儿，就简单粗暴地说 xxx hotel, the address is xxx, 避免说 maybe I will stay…./ I’m considering….总之不要给海关一种你还没准备好或闪烁其词的感觉。
针对美国海关最常问到核心问题，我们整理了中英文回答攻略供大家参考。
熟练掌握6大核心问题
1、来美国干嘛?你是否有怀孕?你是不是来生孩子的?
What is your purpose of visiting the US? (这是最正规常见的问法，也可能遇到比较轻松聊天式的问法：Why are you coming to America?)
Are you pregnant? Are you gonna give birth to your baby in the US? (海关也许会继续关注一下你怀孕多久了 How far are you?预产期是什么时候 When is it due?/What is your expected date of delivery?)
答：我准备来生孩子，顺便旅游购物。我怀孕快 8 个月了，预产期是 11 月 18 日。
I’m gonna deliver/give birth to my baby here, and do some visiting and shopping as well. I’m 8-month pregnant and my baby is due on November 18th.
2、为什么来美国生孩子?/ 为什么不在你们自己国家生?
Why delivering your baby in the US?
Why you made this decision?
Why not giving birth in your own country?
答 A：我们听说来美国生孩子并不违法，只要带够钱自己支付所有费用，不占用美国政府福利。
We are told that it is completely legal to do so, as long as we pay off all medical bills on our own. We don’t use any kind of welfare of your government.
This is my second child and I’m over 35 years old now. I’m pursuing for better medical care in the US. I trust the skills of your physicians and the services of the hospital.
答 C：我们非常看重美国的教育，希望我的孩子以后能接受世界先进的教育。
We think highly of American’s education and we definitely hope my kids to have the best education of the world in future.
3、签证的时候有没有告知生孩子这个打算?
Have you told the visa officer at the interview that you were going to have a baby here?
Did you honestly say your purpose of giving birth in the US when you applying for the visa?
答 A：我们有诚实告知，在面试的时候就跟签证官诚实说了来生孩子，并且得到了签证官的允许。
Yes, we have/ Yes, we did. We already told the visa officer honestly that we plan to deliver my baby in the US, and we were admitted by the officer at the interview.
I was not pregnant when I got my visa in June last year. After getting the visa, I have been to the US once for traveling. Later on in May this year, I found myself pregnant and then decided to give birth in the US.
4、在美国呆多久?什么时候回去?
How long will you stay in the US? When do you plan to come back?
答：我呆三个月，12月1日返回中国。这是我的行程单和机票，你要看看吗?
I will stay here for three months. My return trip to China is on December 1st. Here is my itinerary and tickets back. Would you like to take a look at it?
5、你带了多少钱?
How much money are you bringing with you?
答：我带了5万美金，足够支付我在美期间的花销,包括生产费用。
I have 50,000 (fifty thousand dollars) in cash. That’s enough to cover all the expenses during my stay in the US, including the bills for delivery.
(除了现金，如果带了信用卡，借记卡，旅行支票等可以说:In addition to cash, I also bring 3 credit cards with the credit line of XXX, and 1 debit card with the balance of XXX. And some traveler’s check of XXX.)
6、你带的钱够生孩子吗?你了解美国的生产费用吗?
Do you have enough money to cover your delivery costs? Are you aware how much it’s gonna cost to deliver in the US hospital?
Yes, I think I’ve prepared enough. I have XXX cash and XXX balance in my bank account. My total budget is XXX. Here is my budget chart with details/ break down items.
