2. When you arrive at your port of exit from the United States you must go to the ticket counter and check in again. You will not see your bags here but you must have your baggage claim tickets so they can be sure they get them on the plane. You will not claim your bags until your final destination.

3. You are a transit passenger until you are on your last flight. You are not required to fill out any customs or

  immigration forms until you reach your final destination.

4. When you arrive, you will first go to Immigration. They will want to see your passport and your visa. Do not engage the officials in conversation and do only what you are told.

5. You will next go to baggage claim, get your bags and go to Customs. They will ask to see your customs form and probably your passport as well. On your customs form you should check "nothing to declare." You may or may not have your bags searched. If they are searched don't try to stop them or be too helpful. Just let them look through and don't volunteer any information. Follow the same instructions when leaving the country.

6. You will then exit the airport and an IAAP representa-tive will be there to meet you.
