I am preparing for my mom’s coming to US, though she has been here for 4+ times with 1.5years + duration, entry into US is still not a breeze.
This time she will entry through San Francisco International Airport (SFO) with connecting flight to Seattle. So I am preparing the steps:
- Get off the plane with carry on luggage
- Go through immigration
- Pick up checked in luggage
- Go to “connecting flights” door, find your airline counter to drop your luggage.
- Go to your connecting flights’ terminal (as shown below, your domestic flight will definitely be in a different terminal)
- Go through security check again. (because different terminal has its own security checkpoints)
- Find your flight’s gate.
- Board the connecting flights.

Due to the pandemic, there are one extra thing to consider: health insurance during the stay. Visitors cannot enroll in US’s normal health insurance plan, so people usually choose travel insurance, make sure it can cover:
- a Pre-existing condition
- Pandemic related, such as Covid …
- The coverage limit for age
