Travelling to the US? These are the documents you will need to carry other than passport to enter

The United States has asked Indians to carry valid supporting documents, apart from passport, while travelling to the country.

Recently, Indian students were denied entry in the US and were even deported as they had presented information to the border patrol agent which was inconsistent with their visa status.

The universities in question said refusal to entry was due to tightening of visa regulations by the US after the Paris terror attacks.

So, whether you are a student, businessperson or a traveller, you should have other valid documents like study plans, housing, financial support, healthcare arrangements etc. and be prepared for admission (entry to the US) interviews with US immigration officials.

"Government of India continues to remain closely engaged with the US Government on this subject. We have strongly emphasised the need for the US authorities to honour the visas issued by their own Embassy/Consulates,'' said the advisory.
