Crossing the USA Border with Syrian, Yemeni, Iraqi Passport Stamps
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2019
- I've been travelling across all of Asia and the Middle East, and ended up collecting a lot of passport stamps that don't make your entry into the United States any easier. This is the story of my journey to the US and what happened at the border.

I realize I'm almost a year late here, but take my word for it, you were screened before you even stepped on the plane to New York. The interrogations at U. S. Customs and Immigration are for those for whom they have incomplete information, have questions about, or for whom there is some suspicion. There is a lot that goes on in the background that you aren't aware of.
And a filled in ESTA, Advance Passenger Information shared by the airline about who you are and where are you travelling from is not there for nothing.
ESTA is valid for two years so if you got it before you went to those countries the information won’t appear on your ESTA. And I think if you have been to any of the countries the ESTA application asks about it can lead to your ESTA being denied and you needing a visa. ESTA doesn’t include include your whole travel history and neither does any of the information beforehand guarantee you entry. I’ve been to the US a few times and immigration is never fun or easy, there are always a lot of questions and it always takes quite long. I fully understand her doubt and would have been the same, as it says everywhere the final decision about your entry is made by the immigration officer who def lets you confirm some of the information they have about you and they def ask stuff beyond that every time.
She probably got a visa and then made this video on how she was let it like tf. You can no longer travel with an ESTA if you've visited countries that are classified as "zones of conflict" you then need to apply for a visa at a US ambassy. Furthermore, you're a polish citizen and only recently did poles get included in the ESTA program. I believe that when this video was made, poles still had to apply for a visa.
Applying for a visa = properly screened.
That’s exactly what I think!
True
For the processing protocols
However last year a Norwegian minister traveled with regular passport was questioned about multiple Iranian stamps on his passport and he mentioned because his wife was Persian and that's why!
Thanks for including me!!
Arent you white too why did you get questioned
@@blandharp9795 He may be a white supremacist :0
just kidding
Really you drew? Come on!!!!!
Hey drew Do you face same difficulties in border crossing or immigration in western countries because you are jew or just being white is OK to get spared?
I recognize your voice 😂
☆ female
☆ white
☆ european passport

Don't forget the background check she had when applying for a visa.

@@KP-vg3zn you don't need a Visa just an ESTA if you're from the EU
Leave europe, it's German passport

As an American citizen, a person of color with an Islamic sounding name. I do travel a lot abroad but not in those places. I have even some black and white European friends who visit the US often. I do believe racial profiling exists and real. However, I think your case was not merely pure luck, or they let you go because of color or national origin, etc.
This simple answer is that they checked you thoroughly even while you were in flight and probably watched your vlogs too and saw you were no threat. If still need the long answer and how here it goes:
There is something called Advance Passenger Information System (APIS). US congress passed back in 2005, allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to review passenger information prior to boarding for commercial flights arriving into or departing from the United States and for commercial vessels destined for or departing the United States.
In other words, every airline, including the one you were on your way to the US, was legally required to transmit the complete manifest for all passengers 30 minutes prior to departure. APIS includes even your seat information and whether you asked the airline to serve you specific dietary requirements, Halal, Kosher, vegetarian etc. So they have 8 hours of your flight to check you before you land.
Besides, if you have a passport of one of the countries participating in the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) then you must have obtained approval through ESTA prior to traveling to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program. In ESTA form, you will have to list every country you traveled. If not a member of VWP countries, then you must have presented your passport to US consulate, and they would have checked you anyway.
While I totally agree with your comment (and in fact learned plenty from the details in it), I still think had her name been Muhammad Abdul something and had she been a brown man, there will be more suspension and different treatment even if said Muhammad was a traveling vlogger and his info was pulled up before hands. Racial-profiling does exist despite what tools and procedures you have in place because ultimately they are operated by human beings. I appreciate the fact that she highlighted this issue and appreciate all the info you gave in your comment.
@@halasalman2627 I agree profiling exists. I have a good friend of mine with an EU passport with a Muslim name. I told him before that the first time after he got his ESTA, there will be interrogation at the port of entry normally if it is the first time, they will create a profile for you. Exactly that is what they did. He came back twice after that and no problem.
You are totally right but for Eva Zu Beck it is more beneficial to make a big deal out of obvious and bend facts to her narration. She does it all the time. If she doesn't have this gorgeous face she never would make it. The only real privilege she has is B E A U T Y
Holy crap. Thx for the information.
So question; in my german passport I have a stamp from Iraq. If I get a second passport with no stamps at all, they will find out anyway?
I know this is off topic, but I HATE that term 'Person of colour' STOP IT!!!!! We are all humans regardless of skin colour. Let's be blind to it and view each other on an individual human basis.
It’s also the passport you travel with. I used to travel with my South African passport and border officials loved chatting to me. Would take me to back rooms in many countries and ask me all sorts of questions. Then when I finally got my New Zealand passport all those friendly officials stopped talking to me. The only thing they would comment on was how cool the passport looked then would wave me through. Not even a single cuddly dog to sniff my bags.
Really? I reckoned it would be the other way around. A new Zealand passport seems more attractive and 'well seen " than one from an African country
@Laly D he's being sarcastic, that after getting NZ passport no one had prob with him.
Justin!! Give me that south african passport man , having the iraqi passport is a nightmare
Oh dear, have the same story with my Russian and Canadian passports. With Russian passport it's not that easy to get the visa, forget crossing the border. Was denied the visa to the states even when I had my Canadian pr. And I could play a Snow White in a Disney movie 🙄
It’s not about white or black….. they usually go by random selection and procedures. I am a US citizen,originally from Iraq; I travel a lot, and i was never stopped at JFK or any other airports in the US.
I am a blonde, blue-eyed woman, also called Eva. And I am always completely shocked by the lack of checks on me at border crossings and the stark contrast with other people. I once (accidentally) took a knife and scissors with me on an international plane and nobody batted an eye. I only found out I did it when I found them in my bag at my destination.
Eva, please don't be so naive. Big brother knows who is and who isn't a security threath to the country, any country. Nothing to do with the fact that as a white female it's so called easier. Let me enlighten you, when your passport is checked by the boarder control, they know if you are on a red list or have been to prison or have a parking ticket. Did you know that you cannot enter Australia of you committed a certain type of crime, regardless of your skin colour.
When you apply for Esta you have to provide all your details, the government department who is handling this in the USA know about every single person who boards a plane. Since 9/11 the USA are much stricter, not like the UK and the rest of the european countries and ate so naive ;-(
Im "white" skinned and cant even bring a nail cutter.. small towns in Canada take flights super seriously
Me too I accidentally left a butane lighter in my purse and got through TSA
@@andreasahulova explains why I can get any visa, I don’t even have a parking ticket 😀
@@LaRaynaS it depends on your Passport.
Your reasoning behind not being flagged upon entry is such a baloney
@Professor Terguson We all know that her statement is true. What she talked about is reality. Only i dont agree with her that it is a privilege. It should be normal in civilized countries.
@Gulaid M No, its "not true" that white people are privileged. try going to an African country and see how well your privilege gets you. I'll tell you, they hike up the prices for anyone white. They rip you off in taxis, they treat us like cash cows.
@@francograpelli3060 ANother sjw dummy. White privilege is the same as brown privilege, and black. depending in what nation you are, and if you're the majority colour as to how you are treated. as a white person in a brown/black country you're treated differently than if you're black/brown.
We have a right to look after our own, as every other tribe shows the same ingroup preference. Traitor.
My Iranian born husband and I have traveled frequently. My skin and hair color are much like yours, his is way darker. I have been pulled out for extra searches, interrogated and once was escorted for questioning by Greek police with uzi's because the incoming customs person didn't stamp my passport (she did, but it didn't transfer the ink) and I didn't double check (never make that mistake again). My husband has never been pulled out for extra screening or questioning either here in the US or abroad. Guess my point is, if you are looking for the negative, you'll find it, even if it's not there.
As a white male, who travel the globe (well not so much right now due to Covid) I have trouble entering a few places. I've been questioned in numerous places about the purpose of my trip. In Feb. 2020 I entered Indonesia and was greatly questioned about the purpose of my journey. I was on a new passport, the old one was full, and they knew I had previously been there and had a new passport. US Immigration all ready knew who you were before you ever landed. Also, you were traveling on an EU country passport. Really enjoy your VLOG's.
Just for your information, they've got your info before you even got on that plane, you may not know this, but they know you more about you than you know about yourself.
They even know you were going to visit the US well before you thought about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right they know it.
Exactly!🙄
Was this your first time entering the United States? If you have previously been to the US and your ESTA is good then it's more likely that they'll let you in without much hassle
Poland isn't in ESTA program. They need a visa.
Incorrect. They have been added to the ESTA program
@@turkrene But how can she get an ESTA if she was in Syria ?
oh trust me they knew exactly who you are
You look disappointed not to be interviewed or even denied to entry. The just judged you not to be a threat to national security. In fact you are not. That's all.
Thriving on the Drama!!
@@jerryoshea3116 the youtube formula
@@yamahonkawazuki Yep,u can see this chick is so self absorbed and has somewhat of a inflated opinion of her own relevance..
After 911 the US Gov realised it took it's eye off the ball(considering there had been an Terrorist attempt on the WTC in 1993)So anyone visiting the country has to except the strict security measures which are in place..
And if u really want to experience strict security Protocol,visit Israel,they've been doing it for yrs.
But I suppose if it was one of her favourite Muslim country's and they gave a tourist hassle for some minor social or culture indiscretion that would be fully justified!
@@jerryoshea3116 I always enjoyed her videos. This one otoh to me sounded like trying for the next viral video. I do hope I'm wrong
@@yamahonkawazuki Yea. She'd be better off keeping to the travel vlogs, and leaving social justice to others. I guarantee you this had nothing to do with her skin color, and everything to do with the fact that they were aware of who she was, and what her intentions were.
For a travel vlogger, I see a lot of judgement on your part. The system worked not because you were white (get over it) but they know much more about you much before you even set your foot in the US. I think it is imperative that you educate yourself further.
you indian paying for the master
Stfu she's right
@@suriyadunya9994 you are very hateful...that is what you are trying to say they are for your own sake
I thought the same thing she’s always acting like she’s so unbiased it sound like the people in the recordings were European so I’m not exactly sure what she was getting at. It’s a shame I like her videos up until this point But now I don’t think I trust her candidness
I'm a black American. I've been to many European countries. I've flown to and from many different places around the world. Every border crossings I've been (including my country or Europe), I've had ZERO incidents with any border patrol agent. It doesn't matter what race, sex, religion, or background. If you respect the laws of any country, you're should have ZERO issues getting into any country. I think you're making too big of a deal of this. You used Drew Brinsky as an example who is white get questioned by border patrol agents when he returned to the US. Also, many US patrol agents different who have different races, sex, and religious backgrounds. I'm not saying racial bias doesn't exist, but it's a tiny fraction.
Wanderlust Awe Syndrome that's 100% the truth
@@thejudge4781 What's 100% the truth?
That's because you're a U.S citizen and not part of any risky groups. I can't remember the last time some black Americans planted bombs all over Europe. Maybe because it never happened. That's why I think that racial profiling is a good thing: you're not in the group causing problems, so why should you get hassled ? To hassle you or Japanese school girls would be unfair then, no ?
Really Pakistan? I travelled on Pakistani passport to USA gazillion times never asked anything other then my purpose of visit.. And yeah im brown
you didn't have stamps from Syria Yemen Iran and all them other Arab countries though
@@DJTreviCSRecordings It is not, a few months ago there were news of an Italian tourist (travelling with a agency) being denied access because of a syrian visa stamp on the passport.
Shes so utterly stupid its sad, its sad that she thought she was being profound with her 'insights' when all she did was expose her ignorance of how the world works.
I agree
Pakistan, the land of terrorism...who let you enter in our country though?
Whatever you do,please don't bomb us.
from my experience, if you hold an EU or Canadian or US passport, you have no issues coming back into the states. No matter what stamps are on your passports. there is some racial disparity, but not a lot
Hi
you can do the ETSA if you've been in iran or iraq and some other countries
I think sometimes videos like this the people were just trying to get a rise out of what they see in the media if she wants to talk about bias it’s unfortunate.
*I meant can't!
Curious to see how your adventures here in USA go. Try going to East Oakland, CA or East St. Louis or Suth Chicago for real adventures.
You're a Polish national - an EU member nation. Nothing is exactly what I would expect to happen. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
i didnt know she was polish
I think it`s not about the skin color but your passport. Probably you have a passport from an EU country so they let you pass.
yep, Polish
Merto she is so dumb
polish pasport
That's not true, a friend of mine from Germany with an EU/German passport cannot enter the US because she is of Iranian decent and has visited Iran, so an EU passport doesn't automatically help if you have visited any of those countries....
doesn't make any sense the guys in the video, one was a US citizen and the other was Canadian. The Eu passport has more power than the US one when you want to visit the US?
So your mad that they didnt question you??? There is no bias just random security checks
I slightly disagree with your view here. I know your heart is in the right place, and I believe there are many issues, but I have had white friends who have gone to even eastern European countries, and been questioned extensively.
@Andy B- I’m WAY late to the party! Lol. But you are absolutely right and I 100% agree with you! I know your heart was in the right place, Eva, but what you said is just simply not the case. Does racial profiling exist? Absolutely! But as Andy above mentioned, I too have had many white friends travel to European countries, and they too were stopped and questioned very extensively. We actually had discussion on this very subject. I’m sorry but that is just not the case. I don’t agree at all.
I am a white-looking European Jew, and I always get extra interrogation and get picked out of the line when I visit Israel. I am young, often travel alone and carry a European passport they are profiling on risk factors and I do not mind. It keeps us safe.
I love that you're friends with Drew Binsky, he's such an awesome travel vlogger, as you are.
I had a great experience at the JFK Airport, too. And was pleasantly quite surprised by how they treated me as a first time comer to the US! No issues at all.
Thanks! You are truly an inspiration. Cheers from Canada
Thanks for the lecture, that's why I use to watch you of course.
IMHO, your passport(nationality) was also the factor. USA and Poland have very warm relation.
She is British citizen (of Polish descent )
@@mysteriousjz in this video 2:35, she uses a polish passport..
@@mysteriousjz: She showed her Polish passport in the video bro
@@tigervalley62 I had missed that. In other videos, she portrayed herself as British of Polish descent. Not sure, if she is not a British citizen. Also, us and Poland may have whatever good relations, but it is still relatively harder for Eastern Europeans to travel to the west due to economic disparity.
This girl was dying to be interrogated by wearing the middle eastern scarf. Either way she was going to make it a story about injustice.
Lol. Who cares.. Isn't injustice what Americans eats for breakfasts these days?
@@ichigoalexi5458 Is injustice bacon? I think not. Bacon-and coffee-are the epitome of justice and freedom.
She has APolish pasport ,
@@captainbilly9443 Ah no.. My apology. I meant to say, isn't injustice what your government serves for breakfast, lunch and dinner these days! :)
Agree, Chris. And even though her entry into the country didn’t give her the fodder she hoped for, we still had to hear a worn, half-baked social justice lecture. Phhht. 😒😞😴
Thanks for having this mindset and thanks for visiting Afghanistan. I'm officially subscribed to your channel because of that.
its not accurate though
It was easier for me to get into Saudi Arabia than it was to get into Canada.
good
you were recognized by their system as a youtuber. simple
lol, now thats funny
yeah and another reason is that they are generally kinder to women
Especially if she has provided her social media accounts in the ESTA application.
I've seen videos by an Australian UA-camr with an Arabic Name, and they were questioned and held for hours. Just being a UA-camr doesn't help.
She said the same. She said she was recognized as a travel vlogger, but then went on to equate it to racial prejudice.

Hi Eva! i luv watching ur vlogs,been in Iraq many yrs. ago grandma vicky here take care
Time to vlog Australia Eva, love your work ! !
self knows that it's a happy day coz Eva just uploaded 🙌🏽😫
Many countries, almost certainly including Poland, have an agreement with the US that they will tell the US if citizens of theirs who have asked permission to enter the US are on the radar of their security services. You get on their radar for instance by being in touch with extremists. Saudi Arabia, for example, is extremely cooperative with the USA on this, and since these procedures were adopted the USA has never or at most extremely rarely had problems with Saudi citizens it has let into the country.
You should be praising the professionalism of the Polish and British security services rather than making vile and insulting claims without any knowledge of how the procedures work.
Finally, someone with sense.
I have lots of family that work TSA and they say the same thing. Some people just perceive it as discrimination...like travel bloggers that don’t take the time to connect the dots and want “social justice” blah blah blah
Additionally Poland is the new favourite country in Europe for the US military.
Hein Daddel I don’t think there’s ever been a Polish jihadi. Something they put in the water. Now Belgians, Brits, and Swedes are a different story....
Poland is a super safe country. It’s also really homogenous and Christian and they don’t let immigrants get citizenship most of the time so the probability of someone with a Polish passport getting denied is highly unlikely
@@shrek1140 The terrorist who killed people in Sweden was admitted to Europe by Poland. Poland is not a homogeneous country. Recently, there has been a sharp increase in immigration to Poland. Almost 2-3 mln immigrants live in Poland. Immigrants from Ukraine, Belarus, Pakistan, India, Turkey etc.
I can tell that you would have made this same video regardless of the events of your entry. You weren’t bothered “white privilege”. had they questioned you “stereotyping”. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Hey Eva. Accidentally found your channel while I was surfing on Internet. You are a super brave person and hope to meet you in iran. Feb2020
You continue inspire the world to travel and life your life to the fullest. Thank you for showing your content with all of us. I will be uploading my Jordan and Malaysia vlogs soon!
I think you were lucky, not because you are white. Drew is also white and American. I have seen males been questioned more than females. My aunt is Iranian and wear hijab went to the USA without being questioned
Exactly!!
I can comfirm that. You do get interrogated while being a "white" male - a lot (!). They probably new about your trips - they do. The son of a colleague of mine who works in a refugee shelter in Germany was asked when entering the US: "Why does your mother (!) work in a refugee shelter? So, really, we're way beyong the "oh, looks Oriental" thing or supposed privilege (it's more like a stigma now anyway) but whether or not they consider you dangerous. It may feel unfair to be considered harmless but believe me, it's better like that.
@ASG66 says the man that just expressed religious hatred and bigotry.
I think she was lucky not because she is white because she is not white and will never be white because she is slavic.
@@FriendlyCroock she is not white as you are not brown and you don't have complexion insecurities either hahaha
But to enlighten you a bit ,Eva does not give a crap you call her non white, here in East Europe we don't have skin colour war like is happening in the West because of you brown folks.we go sunbath in the summer to get tan. we are not obsessed to be white.now peace be upon you , wow what nice people you are NOT
Wow, this video was quite reveailng,. I am so happy I met your videos.
Thank you so much for highlighting this issue !!!
Love your channel,
But I’ve been o most of those countries, last trip was Lebanon came back the didn’t asked any questions at all the only one they asked was how was your trip. I’m a Hispanic guy. In Europe I travel without being question as well. It just depends how you approach them and the time of the day.

Great video. Was not expecting anything from this video but it was informative. I live in New York and when I was arriving I had no issue with security. They seemed lazy and not caring about their job. That was the impression I got.
I actually was in Algeria past week and just get back to the US taking in consideration that I am green card holder and my full name is Mohamed Ali Larbi Daho Bachir. I stayed 20 days in Algeria since I am an Algerian nationality. The only question I got from immigration officer was "Is there any food in your luggage" . Ofc said NO ,except bread . And then took picture of me and check my Algerian passport and my green card and scan them and then I am good to go. I have black long hair , kinda white with some tiny red screen looks like Hispanic or Native American as people tell me always in America even in Algeria sometimes. But wasn't any problem entering back in the US . and planning to be world traveler as soon as I finish my school here and obtain my American passport in couple years, hopefully. Thank you Eva for sharing with us this experience. I just got cross of your videos to learn from expert traveler and make my decision to travel the world and still thinking about having partners to be able to get pics and stuff like that for safety as well.
I'm Polish and I wouldn't have guessed or thought that you are Polish actually. You look southern European with a bit of Asian, maybe even Middle Eastern. I understand that they are more cautious with certain foreigners.
people in poland look in a lot of different ways, hello

Travel blogger: this is because of racism.
i fully agree.
by the way it makes a lot of sense to interview people as to their motives for having visited Yemen, Iran etc when they want to enter the US
@@timschmitt7550 but to be honest, If they are part of a highly organized operation the easiest thing is to get clean passports. If Iran is sending a spy I am sure they can get them clean passport. not that I mind questioning and being extra careful.
Yep, I've watched a few of her videos, this is the last one.
Slobbergoat , Me too...
She is completely unfair by saying European and American border officers are racist. It is a complete lack of respect towards the authorities of a country. She was clearly expecting to get rejected to make a viral video but nothing worth telling happened. She is just making a drama out of nothing.
It's not color or race, you have a light around you that's shines. you smile and you are a happy person, which not alot of people have you are fortunate to have.
I am very happy you brought up this issue. Although some people will never understand or have a hard time understanding it is still important to recognize. I am a naturalized citizen in the U.S and when I have come back from far less "concerning" travel I was always stopped and questioned. I also travel often to many different parts of the world and it blows my mind that I always get stopped when all I want to do is go home.
and what race are you?
Eva Pakistan will miss you ❤️you make my day 🌈
I have a Turkish Passport and I got US visa easily also it was easy to enter US. I think Turkish Stamp doesn't create any problem while you enter any country.

I decided to subscribe to your channel when I saw your first vid staying three days in the desert with the females who are living in the desert as their home. My reason I wanted to follow your channel is because it’s different you travel to places that people have negative thoughts of because people listen or don’t give themselves a chance to learn and educate themselves but just listen to others or what’s put in the media. It’s great what you’re doing to educate people and give them new perspectives to the countries that people have negative thoughts or scared to visit.

Hi Eva, I’ve just came across your channel and as I watched many vlogs of your travels. I thought about my travels to many countries as a missionary. I really love traveling like you’re doing. But I couldn’t help but to think about the reasons why I stopped, and you hit the head dead-center on this video. You are sooooo right in this video!!! It really hard to have experienced what you’re saying first-hand, but to hear you say it in this video gives me GREAT sadness, and even pain. I’m an African-American and my passport is also heavily stamped from many countries. However I feel more personally scared (compared to my passport) by the UNWARRANTED harassment that I constantly get because of “the obvious”. Thank you for being honest and making this video. One day. . .we shall overcome. . .SMH (sigh).
Hello, when did you visit Afghanistan ? I couldn’t find any videos here and no posts in Instagram about this country. Can you tell about it, how was it to travel for a woman alone there?
A German friend of mine who looked very European and he was searched thoroughly at the JFK on his way out of the country. It is just pure luck dear. There is random screening. You come to the US with a renewed EU passport next time, cleared of visas, and who knows how you are going to be treated :)) And the treatment may vary from gate to gate. The US customs people at the gates "are" from different races, first of all. They are not specifically giving clearance to "all white" people, despite countless unfair incidents take place - which I definitely not vouch for. The other thing about customs officers (everywhere) is, they are authorized with wider powers we can imagine because where they question you is technically, still outside the gates, meaning outside the country you are trying to enter. So, they are outside the legal jurisdiction of the country they are authorized to represent. So they have wider powers than the regular law enforcement guys. It is a great responsibility to let incoming people through the "doors" ahead. Even citizens are questioned for long time. It is sometimes the "hunch" they feel, so they trust you and let you past the gates.
They can also send you back lol
No such thing as "looking european" genius boy cause europeans can also be eastern europeans like romani, tatars, cumans, bulgars, they can be mediterranean. "european" is not a synonym for "white" the way the racists of U S A use it.
@@autoworld9681 Thank you for your valuable lesson on political correctness my friend, as if I have never been aware of in my 50 years of my life. Practically it does not work that way, even in Europe. And many of those ethnic groups you mentioned have already been obviously mistreated by their relevant governments, the majority and their neighbors, and those countries in eastern Europe have many proven track records on racism and minority mistreatment. I have even been harassed by my looks while in Prague and I can assure you: I don't look "european". I know what I meant when I used the term. Let alone, you are taking my original comments out of context by picking up a single word I have used. I am describing in my previous comment how the US Customs work; look at it from the broader picture. And by the way, the owner of this video is again in the US right now and she seems to have made her second entry without any issues. She originally had thought her earlier visits to some Middle East countries and their visa stamps would cause difficulties at the entry while she was visiting the US for the first time. None happened.
Technically, its the "immigrations officer" not the customs officer. You don't see customs until you have cleared immigration, at which point you are admitted.
Unsubbed!!
@@nathancosta36 Because she's race baiting. They had no reason to pull her aside. She would of already explained why she visited all those countries when she applied for a visa. Also a background check would of been done, she has a EU passport & an official invitation from an event in the USA.
love your stuff its one of my dream destinations
Lots of respect to you for this video.
Do you have Global Entry?
being questioned for egyptian stamps is ridiculous... Its a major tourist destination
You're missing something here... it has nothing to do with Egypt being a tourist destination.
And yes, she hasn’t been questioned about it.
China didn't even let me apply for a chinese visa, because I had a Turkish stamp in my passport. Even this is a major tourist destination as well.
I had this kind of experience, not for entering into a country, but in an administration in my country. I needed a certificate that proved that I had French nationality and I had to go at an office where around 30-40 people were waiting so I was expecting a quite long waiting. But these other people were there because they were foreigners (and most of them were not white-coloured) and needed some documents for staying in France. When they saw me in the line, they immediately came at me and asked me what I needed. They immediately took my application form and asked me to come back two days later - that document normally needed one week or more to be done. So I came back two days later and when the guy saw me in the waiting room, he opened a desk for me.
I feel like you raised a very important point and are really happy. As an Israeli passport holder, many countries in the world do not accept me (currently traveling with family and children). And in the past attempts to enter Australia, the United States, Japan have been very challenging because of the passport..and I am a "white" man. Thank you for raising this important issue.
Happy Independence Day Pakistan 🇵🇰 🙂
Thanks for wishing.
Thanks dear
@hasib Khan happy independence day india
whats with pakistan pk? err whats the pk for? am curious.
@@yamahonkawazuki pk is a country code for Pakistan. Www.anything.pk etc
It's good that no one ask you any questions or interrogate you. They may be know you.
Excellent and the truth .... A very honest review of places .
Thank you so much for speaking up..Heartbreaking..We are not a threat
I usually dont comment on post such as thsse I actually liked your other videos but this was a very stupid and misleading remark as it seems you were gonna make an issue out of the situation either way. Oh and by the way am black and I live and work in middleast and i either transit or stop over in US at least once a year and yes sometimes I get questioned and sometimes I dont hence your remarks have no relevance.
C'mon people, don't fall for the lies of woke crowd. The overwhelming majority of the population is not racist.. the woke left are just pushing this fake narrative that there are racists everywhere and make it everything about race, in order to divide people and spread hate.
LOVE YOU FROM PAKISTAN.
NICE VIDEO EVA.
I AM YOUR BIG FAN FROM PAKISTAN KARACHI .
My friend and I got stopped at border of Quebec. We did not have a itinerary and only 20 at the time. They made us park at the office and searched the trunk. We crossed after 15 mins of questions.
You should be fine, I enjoyed your travels. I got to travel, but not to your extent, I loved the "Bedouin" they are helpful and friendly.
From Yemen 🇾🇪, god blesses you
They didn't ask you any questions because you had a visa. So, the embassy where you issued it, would have asked you these questions. Problem with your entry into the US you would have if you were trying to get in with ESTA.
That's incorrect. When a colleague of mine tried to enter the US with a student visa and a EU passport he was questioned for hours because he was born in Iran.
@@Raider_MXD I have a few close friends from Iran that have no issues traveling back to the USA from Iran. Two of them are here on work visas & the most recent came on a university visa last September. Only time you'll be pulled aside & questioned for hours is if you have not answered something truthfully, served in the military or connected/related to government officials.
@@KP-vg3zn He was an infant when his parents left the country for good. I'm not very familiar with Iran's military, but I'm pretty sure they don't draft toddlers.
We were a group of people who had applied for visas together and entered the US together and he was not just treated worse when crossing the border but also his visa application process was handled differently. Us European born people knew after leaving the consulate that we'd be receiving our visas in four weeks, he on the other hand was being told that in six weeks they'd let him know if he'll get a visa or not which means additional vetting was done. The only difference betwen us and him was that he had Theran as his place of birth in his EU passport instead of a European city.
You had a visa - that helps. I‘m a white blonde woman that got questionned for an hour or two hours at the US border in the past. They were always respectful but they asked some uncomfortable questions not because I didn‘t want them to know the answer but because I knew my answer wasn‘t the one they wanted to hear as their number 1 favourite answer. I just treated it with an it‘s their job attitude. After all I knew what could be expecting me at the border so I came prepared with just the right kind of documents. I always felt like their main goal was to make sure you follow the law and leave again after whatever time you were granted in their country. And they make it very clear that it is up to you to prove that.
Hmmm, I look kinda like you but I was still interrogated and strip searched on several occasions so it’s useless to predict how it’s going to go
You don't have a European sounding name though. It's not just about looks and gender. I think it's a combination of different things. When you "pass" as a European citizen with a European sounding name AND are white, things are usually easier for you. Not every single time, not with every single person, but generally.
@@louibeans russia is east European tough, its Europe.the thing is Russian =spy lol
Ok. Next time you get questioned for 30 minutes in the back room, please make a video praising TSA doing a wonderful job.
thats not tsa's job. tsa screens airplane passengers for dangous items. you're thinking of immigration
@@gregh7457 yup
Love from Pakistan. Happy Independence day Eva
Hi Eva I liked your travels. I am a Filipino-Spanish, holding a Filipino passport, I went to USA and my entry was JFK airport also last Feb 12, 2020 and I had the same nice experienced with you, I was just asked what is my purpose to enter the United States and answered them simply for a holiday, btw I worked as a Nurse in Saudi Arabia for 6 years up to present, and I had recent travel to Egypt last 2019 for twice as well and pretty sure they saw it on my passport stamps.
I had a a connecting flight through JFK to Toronto last year, I flew from Ireland so I did the pre clearance in Ireland. I got GRILLED because of the ME stamps I had in my Passport
