BREAKING New Travel Screening Measures Take Effect Who Gets Extra Scrutiny First

Описание: If you’re planning to travel to or from the United States in 2026, this video is essential viewing. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have begun rolling out a major new screening system called the Enhanced Traveler Vetting Initiative (ETVI) at airports and border crossings across the country.

In this video, James from US Move & Immigration, a senior US immigration professional with 6+ years of experience, explains in clear, simple language:

What the Enhanced Traveler Vetting Initiative (ETVI) is
How it differs from the old screening system
How the new dynamic risk assessment algorithms work
What risk factors can get you sent to secondary inspection
You’ll learn the 7 main categories ETVI looks at:

Travel history patterns – high‑risk countries, unusual routes, frequent short trips, last‑minute bookings
Document anomalies – multiple passports, inconsistent identities, replaced or altered documents
US entry & exit history – overstays, prior denials, secondary inspections, removal proceedings, waivers
Law enforcement & intelligence flags – watchlists, warrants, local police encounters, arrests, reports
Financial transaction patterns – large cash movements, suspicious activity reports, international transfers
Social connections – who you travel with, sponsors, shared addresses, links to higher‑risk profiles
Country of origin & nationality – impact of citizenship and past travel to high‑risk countries
We also cover who is most likely to be flagged first under ETVI:

Travelers from or through high‑risk countries
Green card holders with long or frequent absences from the US
Frequent international travelers with complex itineraries
Anyone with prior immigration violations or visa issues
First‑time visitors from certain countries
Travelers carrying large amounts of cash
Travelers who appear extremely nervous, evasive, or inconsistent at the border
Most importantly, you’ll get practical steps to prepare for travel under this new system:

How to review and organize your last 5 years of travel
How to make sure all your documents match and are consistent
Key tips for green card holders (continuous residence, 180‑day absences, presence ratios)
What to know if you carry more than $10,000
How to behave during secondary inspection so it goes as smoothly as possible
A clear, realistic explanation of your rights at the border (citizens, green card holders, visitors)
We also talk about:
