根据美中双方签署的延长签证有效期的协议,自2016年11月起,凡持有10年B1,B2或B1/B2签证的中华人民共和国护照持有人需要每两年或在获取新护照时(无论哪种情况先发生),通过网站更新他们签证申请上的个人资料及其他信息。这个机制我们称之为EVUS –签证更新电子系统。在2016年11月EVUS在线更新系统发布前,你无需采取任何行动。在未来一年里,美国国土安全部、海关及边境保护局(CBP)将把最新资讯以电子邮件的方式及时告知签证持有者。

问
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?
答
An information update is referred to as an enrollment. Enrollments generally last for two years or when the traveler’s visa or passport expires, whichever comes first. Chinese holders of 10-year B1/B2, B1 or B2 visas will need to update their information before they intend to travel to the United States (if a two-year enrollment has expired), or when they get a new passport. 每次信息更新视为一次EVUS登记。一次登记一般保持两年有效,若旅客的签证或护照两者中有任何一者过期,EVUS登记的信息便失效。持有 十年有效期 B1/B2、B1 或 B2 签证的中国公民在前往美国旅行(如果两年期登记已过期)或获取新护照时,需要更新信息。
问
If mistakes are made on an EVUS enrollment, can the enrollment be updated, or does a new enrollment need to be completed? Will any fee be charged separately from the initial EVUS fee? 如果在EVUS登记的过程中出现了错误,可以进行更新吗?是否需要完成一个新的登记?会额外收取EVUS初次登记之外的费用吗?
答
An EVUS enrollment can be updated at any time by completing a new enrollment. This means that the EVUS fee must be paid each time a traveler wishes to submit updated information. The fee is necessary and used to cover the cost of running the system. EVUS登记可以随时通过完成一个新的登记来进行更新。这就意味着旅客每次提交更新的信息都必须缴一次费。收取费用是必要的,用来支付系统运行的开支。
问
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? 我可以在即将赴美前更新个人信息吗?如果两年内没有计划去美国,我也需要更新信息吗?
答
Once the system is available, any traveler who plans to travel to the United States after November 29, 2016 must have a valid EVUS enrollment before traveling, including before arriving at the airport. Travelers should not wait until the last minute to enroll. An enrollment is valid for two years from the date of approval or until the traveler obtains a new passport, whichever comes first. This means that travelers may repeatedly travel to the United States within those two years without having to enroll again. Beginning on November 29, 2016, travelers are encouraged to check the status of their application or enrollment on the EVUS website prior to departing for the airport. 一旦系统启用,2016年11月之后赴美的旅客必须在出行前,包括抵达机场前,完成有效EVUS登记。旅客不应该等到最后一刻才登记。每次登记自获得批准时起,有效期为两年或者截止到旅客获得新护照时,两者以先到期者为准。这就意味着在两年内,旅客不用再次登记就能多次赴美。自2016年11月起,我们鼓励旅客在前往机场之前登录EVUS官网查询申请或登记的状态。
问
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? 如果我的公务护照和因私护照中都有10年有效期B1/B2、B1或B2签证, 我需要在EVUS上登记两次吗?
答
Yes, an EVUS enrollment is tied to the individual visa. This means that you must separately enroll in EVUS for each 10-year visa in each of your People’s Republic of China passports. 是的。每一次EVUS登记对应一个单独的签证-。这意味着您必须在EVUS上分别为每一本中华人民共和国护照上的每一个10年有效期签证进行登记。
问
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? 我的护照已过期。我需要在拿到新护照时立即进行EVUS登记,还是可以等到下次出行前再做EVUS登记?
答
If you have a new passport, you will need to enroll in EVUS before your next trip to the United States. We recommend you enroll atleast one week before you are scheduled to leave for the United States. 如果您已更换护照,您需要在下次赴美前完成EVUS登记。我们建议您至少在赴美的前一周完成EVUS登记。
问
What if my information has not changed? Do I still need to enroll in EVUS? 如果我的个人信息没有变化,我还需要在EVUS系统中登记吗?
答
Yes. You will be able to review your information to make sure it is still accurate, and should follow instructions in the EVUS system to make sure 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。为保证拥有最新的EVUS登记,您需要按照EVUS系统的指示进行登记,并检查之前提供的个人信息,以确保所填内容准确无误。如果您所提供的信息仍然是准确的,那么您此次EVUS登记的有效期为两年。 在此期间,如果护照过期,EVUS登记也将随之失效。
