被遣返再次入境美国经历

2021年10月,我们在持有有效J-1和J-2签证的情况下,被美国洛杉矶海关以我们受到第10043号总统公告制约为由遣返回国。疫情期间入境美国被遣返,是我们难以预料的。好在2022年5月我们在纽约尝试再次入境,并最终入境美国。我记录下来这次被遣返再次入境美国的经历,希望帮助到和和我们有相同的遭遇的小伙伴。

被遣返再次入境美国第一步:准备签证申请资料

我们被遣返的理由是受到第10043总统公告制约,但是仔细研究其内容,我们并不受其影响。所以只要找到证据说明自己与公告内容没关联就可以。

但是仅凭自己提供证据和资料,还不足以使我们有足够的自信去成功获得签证。我们邀请在美国的导师给美国驻华大使馆写一封巩固我们提供的证据的信件。

除此以外,我们获取了我们所在州的国会议员的联系方式,希望他们的权利可以帮助到我们。这一点非常重要,而且非常有帮助。

J签入境美国被遣返

疫情当下,我们只知道办理签证困难,买机票困难,殊不知入境也是困难重重。即便是持有大使馆签发的J签证,我们还是被遣返了。2021年10月我和我老公从广州飞洛杉矶,一落地,就被洛杉矶海关扣留护照,撤销签证,就地遣返。由于国际航班一周一班,我们被关在“小黑屋”足足5天5夜,第六天终于落地广州,开始了入境隔离。经过28天的集中隔离和居家隔离我们终于回到了老家。在这里,给大家讲述一下我们持合法J签入境美国被遣返的遭遇,提醒大家选好入境地点也很关键。

入境被美国遣返

因为疫情不那么紧张,国内新冠案例新增非常少,部分国际航班复飞,我们买了两张上海到洛杉矶的联程机票,两个人总共花费8400元,相比较之前的机票价格,可以说是非常廉价,而且我们每人多花了100元锁定了非常靠前的位置。飞行当天,飞机准时起飞,人非常少,我们锁定的座位是3人连排坐,结果也只有我们两个人,睡睡觉,抻抻腿,很快就到了洛杉矶,整体总结这次飞行不遭罪。

美国的医疗保险

A deductible is the amount you pay for health care services each year before your health insurance begins to pay. The higher a plan’s deductible, the lower the premium. The lower a plan’s deductible, the higher the premium. You’ll pay more each month, but your plan will start sharing the costs sooner because you’ll reach your deductible faster.

A copay is the fixed amount you pay for a covered health care service like an office visit or pick up prescription drugs after you've paid your deductible.

A coinsurance is a set percentage the customer pays for a covered service. For instance, a copay for a doctor’s visit may be $25, you would pay a $25 copay for each visit to your doctor. On the other hand a coinsurance for a similar visit could be 30% and if a doctor’s appointment costs your insurance company $100, then you would owe $30 at the time of your visit.

An out-of-pocket maximum is the amount that you reach that amount you will not have to pay anymore out-of-pocket for covered care for the rest of the year – this includes coinsurance and copay.

如何选择叶酸

Folic acid is the man-made form of folate, a B vitamin. 

Many breakfast cereals (in U.S.) have 100% of your recommended daily value (400 micrograms) of folic acid. Folate is found naturally in some foods. Foods that are naturally high in folate include:

* unpopulated spinach and other dark green, leafy vegetables

* unpopulated oranges and orange juice

* unpopulated nuts

* unpopulated beans

* unpopulated poultry (chicken,turkey,duck, and geese) and meat

* unpopulated whole grains

From:FOLIC ACID: A POSITION STATEMENT FOR PROVIDERS


From :Women's Nutrition: Folate/Folic Acid                                                  


Most multivitamins sold in the U.S. contain 400 micro-grams, or 100% of the daily value, of folic acid.  Look for "USP" or "NSF" on the label when choosing vitamins. These "seals of approval" mean the pills are made properly and have the amounts of vitamins it says on the label. Check the "Supplements Facts" label to be sure you are getting 400-800 micrograms of folic acid. Some brands list the word “folate” on the label, others use “folic acid,” but either term is okay as long as the supplement provides 400 mcg.



1 mcg DFE = 0.6 mcg folic acid and 1 mcg L-5-methylfolate = 1 mcg folic acid

怀孕期间安全性行为?

很多女性想知道在怀孕期间做爱是否安全。会碰到宝宝吗?关于这点我们并不需要过多地研究,了解作用机制就足够了。当你怀孕的时候宝宝是在子宫的囊液内,由封闭的宫颈保护着。做爱根本不会影响到宝宝;如果你情致甚浓,大胆去做就是了。

不过,有两点需要提醒你:第一,在怀孕期间子宫颈会更敏感些,如果你的伴侣在做爱时冲击了它,你会流点血,这很正常,不需要担心。第二,当你进入怀孕后期,好用的古老的传教士体位不会像以前那么奏效了。发挥一点创造力吧!
