一般性問題

1. What is the Electronic Visa Update System (EVUS)?

什麼是簽證更新電子系統(EVUS)?

EVUS is the online system used by nationals of China holding a10-year B1/B2, B1 or B2 (visitor) visa periodically to update basic biographicinformation to facilitate their travel to the United States. In addition to avalid visa, such travelers will be required to complete an EVUS enrollment tobe admitted into the United States.

簽證更新電子系統是指持有十年有效B1/B2,B1或B2（訪問者）簽證的中國公民所使用的個人基本信息在線定期更新系統，以協助其赴美旅行。除了有效簽證以外，上述旅客必須完成EVUS 登記，以便獲得許可進入美國。

2. How do travelers use EVUS? 旅客如何使用EVUS?

As of now, there is nothing Chinese travelers need to do.Beginning in November 2016, Chinese travelers will need to go online and updatetheir information in order to comply with EVUS requirements.

As the system is developed and the launch date gets closer, theU.S. Government will ensure that information about the EVUS process is readilyavailable. More information will be provided regarding how to make entry intothe United States as easy as possible.

目前為止，中國旅客尚無需使用此更新系統。按照 EVUS 要求，自 2016 年 11 月起，中國旅客需要開始使用此更新系統在網上更新自己的個人信息。

由於系統正處於開發期，發行日期也日趨臨近，美國政府將確保向公眾提供有關EVUS流程的信息。屆時會提供更多信息讓旅客知道如何能夠儘可能便捷地入境美國。

3. Can someone else update information in EVUS on a traveler』s behalf?

其他人是否可以代表旅客在 EVUS 更新信息?

Yes, a friend, relative, travel industry professional, oranother third party may submit the required information to EVUS on a traveler』sbehalf. A third party may also pay related fees on behalf of the traveler.However, the traveler is responsible for the truthfulness and accuracy of allinformation submitted on his or her behalf.

可以。朋友、親戚、旅遊行業專業人士或其他第三方可代表旅客向 EVUS 提交所需的信息。第三方可代表旅客支付相關費用。但旅客本人應對代表其提交的全部信息的真實性和準確性負責。

4. Will EVUS enrollment be required for admittance into the United States?

進入美國是否需要登記 EVUS?

Starting in November 2016, yes. The Governments of the UnitedStates and China entered into an arrangement on a reciprocal basis, to issuevisitor visas with 10-year validity. The arrangement recognized that travelerswould be required to periodically complete an online form updating theirbiographical information. Completing this form will help facilitate theadmission of Chinese travelers into the United States.

是的。自 2016 年 11 月起即需要登記。美國政府和中國政府就簽發十年期旅遊簽證做出了雙邊互惠安排。該協議規定旅客須定期完成在線表格填寫以更新個人信息。此表格的填寫將有助於加快中國旅客入境美國。

5. Do other countries have this requirement? 其他國家是否有這項要求?

This requirement is new. The U.S. Government expects that thisrequirement may be applied to additional countries in the future.

這是一項新的規定。美國政府預期在未來可能將此要求適用於其他國家

6. When will this new requirement take effect? 這一新要求何時生效?

Travelers holding 10-year B1/B2, B1 or B2 visas will begin usingthe system in November 2016. Before that date, travelers holding 10-year B1/B2,B1 or B2 visas may travel to the United States without any further action. Allother travelers with valid visas may travel to the United States as they donormally, regardless of the date.

持有十年 B1/B2、B1 或 B2 有效簽證的旅客將從 2016 年 11 月開始使用此系統。在此日期之前，持有十年 B1/B2、B1 或 B2 有效簽證的旅客尚無需使用EVUS系統即可前往美國旅行。所有持有其他類別有效簽證的旅客可正常前往美國，不會受到EVUS啟用日期的影響。

7. Will this affect current visa holders, new applicants, or both?

這是否對目前的簽證持有人、新申請人或兩者都有影響?

Both. Applicants who are holding valid 10-year B1/B2, B1 or B2visas issued before November 2016 will have to enroll in EVUS to use theirvisas any time after the launch of the program. Applicants who receive 10-yearB1/B2, B1 or B2 visas from November 2016 onwards will have to enroll beforetheir initial trip to the United States. Enrollment for all applicants willremain valid for two years or until the traveler』s visa or passport expire, whichevercomes first. The visa holders will then have to update their information beforetraveling to the U.S. again.

兩者都會受到本項新規定的影響。持有 2016 年 11 月之前簽發的十年有效期 B1/B2、B1 或 B2 簽證的申請者，必須在該規定生效後登陸 EVUS登記，方可使用簽證。自2016 年 11 月起獲得十年有效期 B1/B2、B1 或 B2 簽證的申請者，必須在首次前往美國旅行前登記。所有申請者的登記維持兩年有效，若旅客的簽證或護照兩者中有任何一者過期，EVUS登記的信息便失效。那麼簽證持有人必須在前往美國前再次登陸EVUS更新個人信息。

8. I just received a 10-year B1/B2 visa a few months ago. Will I need to obtain a new visa after I enroll in EVUS?

我在幾個月前剛剛收到十年有效期的 B1/B2 簽證。我是否需要在 EVUS 登記後申請新簽證?

No, your visa remains valid. However, you will be unable totravel to the United States after November 2016 unless you have also enrolledin EVUS. Enrollment in EVUS is separate from the visa applicationprocess.

不需要，您的簽證仍然有效。但是，如果您在 2016 年 11 月以後前往美國，必須先在 EVUS 登記。EVUS 登記和申請簽證是不同的程序。

9. What is a B1, B2, or B1/B2 visa? How can I find out what visa type I have?

什麼是 B1, B2，或 B1/B2 簽證？如何確認我所持有簽證的類型?

B category visas are visas for general business and touristtravel to the United States. Your Visa Class, or category, appears in the upperright-hand portion of your visa.

B 類簽證為前往美國的普通商務和旅行簽證。您的簽證類別顯示在簽證右上角。

10. Where will travelers be able to find more information about EVUS?

旅客在哪裡可以找到關於 EVUS 的更多信息?

The most up to date information will be found on http://www.cbp.gov/EVUS.Please monitor this website for the most current information.

最新信息可查見 http://www.cbp.gov/EVUS。請查看此網站來獲取最新信息。

11. Is there a fee to update information in the EVUS System?

在EVUS 系統更新信息是否需要付費?

There will be a nominal fee to enroll with EVUS. The fee will beused to cover the cost of running the system. Fee information will be availablebefore EVUS enrollment begins.

6. How often does the traveler have to update information in EVUS?

旅客需要多久更新一次 EVUS 的信息?

An information update is referred to as an enrollment.Enrollments generally last for two years or when the traveler』s visa orpassport expires, whichever comes first. Chinese holders of 10-year B1/B2, B1 or B2 visas will need to update their information before they intendto travel to the United States (if a two-year enrollment has expired), or whenthey get a new passport.

每次信息更新視為一次EVUS登記。一次登記一般保持兩年有效，若旅客的簽證或護照兩者中有任何一者過期，EVUS登記的信息便失效。持有十年有效期 B1/B2、B1 或 B2 簽證的中國公民在前往美國旅行（如果兩年期登記已過期）或獲取新護照時，需要更新信息

補充問題

?

1. Do I have to update EVUS after November if I receive my visa in October 2016?

如果我於2016年10月獲得了簽證，我必須於11月之後在EVUS上登記嗎？

Yes. Starting in November 2016, U.S. immigration regulationswill require that all People』s Republic of China passport holders carrying10-year B1/B2, B1, or B2 visas must have a valid EVUS enrollment beforetraveling to the United States. It does not matter when your visa was issued. Oncethe system is able to accept enrollments, you will be able to enroll at anytime prior to your departure.

是的。自2016年11月起，美國移民法規要求所有持中華人民共和國護照並同時持有10年有效期B1/B2、B1或B2簽證的旅客赴美前必須在EVUS上進行有效登記。此登記與您簽證的簽發時間無關。一旦系統啟用，您就可以在出發之前的任意時間進行登記。

2. Can I update my personal information right before I travel to the United States? If I don』t have a plan to travel to the United States within two years, do I still need to update it?

我可以在即將赴美前更新個人信息嗎？如果兩年內沒有計划去美國，我也需要更新信息嗎？

Once the system is available, any traveler who plans to travelto the United States after November 2016 must have a valid EVUS enrollmentbefore traveling, including before arriving at the airport. Travelers shouldnot wait until the last minute to enroll. An enrollment is valid for two yearsfrom the date of approval or until the traveler obtains a new passport,whichever comes first. This means that travelers may repeatedly travel to theUnited States within those two years without having to enroll again. Beginningin November 2016, travelers are encouraged to check the status of theirapplication or enrollment on the EVUS website prior to departing for theairport.

一旦系統啟用，2016年11月之後赴美的旅客必須在出行前，包括抵達機場前，完成有效EVUS登記。旅客不應該等到最後一刻才登記。每次登記自獲得批準時起，有效期為兩年或者截止到旅客獲得新護照時，兩者以先到期者為準。這就意味著在兩年內，旅客不用再次登記就能多次赴美。自2016年11月起，我們鼓勵旅客在前往機場之前登錄EVUS官網查詢申請或登記的狀態。

3. I have a one-year U.S. visa. Do I need to update my information and pay for EVUS? Is EVUS only for people who have the 10-year U.S. visa?

我持有一個有效期為1年的美國簽證，我需要在EVUS上登記並付費嗎？EVUS僅適用於持有10年有效期美國簽證的旅客嗎？

EVUS only applies to People』s Republic of China passport holderscarrying 10-year B1/B2, B1, or B2 visas. If you hold a People』s Republic ofChina passport, but your visa is valid for only one year, you do not have toenroll in EVUS. EVUS

僅適用於持有中華人民共和國護照並同時持有10年有效期B1/B2、B1或B2簽證的旅客。如果您持有中華人民共和國護照，但所持有的簽證有效期是1年，您無需在EVUS上登記。

4. After I update EVUS can I be refused entry into the U.S.?

在EVUS上登記之後，我有可能被拒絕入境美國嗎？

All visitors to the United States, regardless of whether theyhave a visa, an EVUS, or some other travel authorization, must demonstratetheir admissibility to the United States to a CBP officer upon arrival at aport of entry. Neither a visa nor EVUS enrollment guarantees admission into theUnited States. These rules have not changed.

所有訪美旅客，無論他們是否持有簽證，是否在EVUS上登記，或獲得其它旅行授權，在抵達入境口岸時都必須由美國海關和邊境保護局的官員審核是否獲准進入美國。無論是持有簽證還是已經在EVUS上完成登記，都無法保證您一定能入境美國。這些規定並沒有改變。

5. If I have a 10-year B1/B2, B1, or B2 visa in both my official and my personal passports, do I need to enroll in EVUS twice?

如果我的公務護照和因私護照中都有10年有效期B1/B2、B1或B2簽證，我需要在EVUS上登記兩次嗎？

Yes, an EVUS enrollment is tied to the individual visa. Thismeans that you must separately enroll in EVUS for each 10-year visa in each ofyour People』s Republic of China passports.

是的。每一次EVUS登記對應一個單獨的簽證-。這意味著您必須在EVUS上分別為每一本中華人民共和國護照上的每一個10年有效期簽證進行登記。

6. What does EVUS have to do with the 10-year visa?

EVUS和10年有效期簽證有什麼關係？

In November 2014, the Governments of the United States and Chinaentered into an arrangement on a reciprocal basis to issue 10-year visitor andbusiness travel visas (B1/B2, B1, and B2). That same arrangement recognizedthat travelers would be required periodically to complete an online formupdating the information they used to apply for the visa. EVUS was developed toallow travelers to provide the most current information – including name, passportnumber, address, and employment – to immigration officials before traveling tothe United States.

2014年11月，美國政府和中國就簽發10年有效期旅遊和商務簽證(B1/B2, B1或B2簽證) 達成了雙邊互惠協議。該協議規定旅客須定期完成在線表格填寫以更新用於申請簽證的個人信息。EVUS的啟用是為了讓旅客在赴美前向移民官員提交最新的個人信息 - 包括名字、護照號碼、地址和就業信息。

7. My passport has expired. Do I need to enroll in EVUS as soon as I get a new passport or can I do that before my next trip?

我的護照已過期。我需要在拿到新護照時立即進行EVUS登記，還是可以等到下次出行前再做EVUS登記？

如果您已更換護照，您需要在下次赴美前完成EVUS登記。我們建議您至少在赴美的前一周完成EVUS登記

8. What if my information has not changed? Do I still need to enroll in EVUS?

如果我的個人信息沒有變化，我還需要在EVUS系統中登記嗎？

Yes. You will be able to review your information to make sure itis still accurate, and should follow instructions in the EVUS system to makesure you have a current EVUS enrollment. If your information remain accurate,your EVUS enrollment is valid for two years or until your passport expires,whichever comes first.

是的。為保證擁有最新的EVUS登記，您需要按照EVUS系統的指示進行登記，並檢查之前提供的個人信息，以確保所填內容準確無誤。如果您所提供的信息仍然是準確的，那麼您此次EVUS登記的有效期為兩年。在此期間，如果護照過期，EVUS登記也將隨之失效。

9. What if I changed my information? Does this mean my EVUS will be automatically refused?

如果更改了我的個人信息，是否意味著我的EVUS申請會自動被拒？

No. We encourage you to keep your information up-to-date tofacilitate your entry into the United States.

不是。我們希望您能提供最新的個人信息，以便入境美國。

10. If I am in the United States on November 29,do I still need to enroll in EVUS?

自2016年11月29日起，所有持中華人民共和國護照和10年期B1 / B2，B1或B2簽證的旅客通過航空，陸地，港口口岸入境美國，必須有EVUS登記。如果11月29日您已經在美國，離開美國是不用進行EVUS登記的。但是，您必須在下一次赴美前進行登記。

11. In order to complete the EVUS form, I need aU.S. point of contact, but I don』t have immediate plans to travel to the UnitedStates, and/or I don』t have a U.S. point of contact. What do I do?

填寫EVUS表格的時候我需要提供美國聯繫人的信息，但是我沒有打算近期前往美國，而且/或者我在美國沒有聯繫人，應該怎麼辦呢？

If you do not have a U.S. point of contact, you may complete this question by answering 「unknown.」 If you have travel plans, but do not have a direct U.S.point of contact, you may enter the name of your hotel or U.S. tour group point of contact in the 「Name」 field. Individuals with a valid EVUS enrollment can update their EVUS form with a U.S. point of contact, current job or address information, without having to submit a new enrollment. However, travelers with new passports, visas, or those re-applying for EVUS will need to complete a new enrollment.

如果在美國沒有聯繫人，您可以回答「不知道」。如果您有旅行計劃但是沒有直接的在美聯繫人，您可以在聯繫人「名字」一欄填寫酒店名或旅行團的在美聯繫人。已經獲得有效登記的個人不用再次提交新的登記就可以對在美聯繫人，現就職單位信息或地址進行更新。但是，獲得了新護照，新簽證或重新申請EVUS的旅客需要完成一個新的登記。

12. I am traveling to Guam soon. Do I need toenroll in EVUS?

如果我即將去關島旅行，需要進行EVUS登記嗎？

Travelersholding a People』s Republic of China passport require a valid U.S. visa toenter Guam. People』s Republic of China passport holders carrying maximumvalidity (10-year) B1/B2, B1, and B2 visas must enroll in EVUS in order totravel to Guam or any U.S. destination.

No. TheUnited States requires visitors to have a passport with at least six-monthsremaining validity for entry into the country. As such, an EVUS enrollmentwill expire six months before the expiration of a traveler』s passport, as thatpassport would no longer be valid for travel to the United States.

不是。美國要求入境時旅客的護照至少還有6個月的有效期。這樣一來，EVUS登記會在旅客護照過期前6個月失效，因為那時旅客已經不能使用其護照赴美了。

16. The system says I have enrolled. Will I receive an email or a text confirmation?

系統顯示我已經登過記了，我會收到郵件或簡訊確認嗎？
