UNIT 6
Welcome to America!
While we were approaching New York I saw a flight attendant with some papers. She was walking down the aisle and giving the papers to the passengers. She was also asking them something. As she came closer I could hear her question: «Are you a U. S. citizen?» She didn't give anything to those who said yes. She didn't ask me about my nationality. She just asked me to fill out the form. What was the matter? Didn't I look like an American?
I looked at the paper. It was an I—94 form. It took me five minutes to fill it out. The man who was sitting next to me couldn't write English, so I helped him with his form. Would you like to have a look at an I—94 form? I'll show you one later.
As I was filling out my neighbor's form the plane landed at JFK International Airport. I went to the Immigration counter. The inspector checked my visa, wrote something on my I—94 and stapled it to my passport. «Welcome to America, Mr. Kuznetsov», he said. «Thank you. Call me Smith», I told him. «Why Smith?» «Because that's what my family name means in English», I answered and went to get my baggage from the baggage claim area.
Anything to declare?
Then I went to Customs. I had to fill out another form. I'll show you what it looks like later. The customs officer asked me: «Anything to declare?» «Excuse me?» «Do you have anything to declare? Do you understand English?» «Yes, I do. But I don't understand American English very well yet».
He didn't ask me to open my bags. He just asked me a few questions. Did I have anything to declare? I said no. Any foodstuffs? I had some cans. He said canned food was okay. Did I have any fresh or frozen food? No, I didn't. Any gifts? No, just a few souvenirs. Did I have five thousand dollars or more in any currency? Certainly not! I had absolutely nothing to declare and the officer finally let me go.
