Kufamba nekadhi regirini rakapera nguva ipfungwa yakaipa, uye Sheila Bergara akangodzidza izvi nenzira yakaoma.
Pakutanga, hurongwa hweBergara nemurume wake hwekuenda kuzororo kunzvimbo dzinopisa dzakangoerekana dzapera paUnited Airlines check-in counter. Ikoko, mumiriri wendege akaudza Bergara kuti aisakwanisa kupinda muMexico achibva kuUnited States aine kadhi regirinhi rakapera nguva. Nekuda kweizvozvo, United Airlines yakaramba kuti vaviri ava vakwire ndege kuenda kuCancun.
Murume waSheila, Paul, akati kambani yendege yakaita chikanganiso mukuramba vaviri ava kukwira ndokuparadza zvirongwa zvavo zvezororo. Akasimbirira kuti kuvandudzwa kwegreen card remudzimai wake kwaizoita kuti aende kunze kwenyika. Asi United haina kubvumirana uye yakafunga kuti nyaya iyi yakavharwa.
Paul anoda kuti United ivhure chichemo chake uye anobvuma kuti akakanganisa izvo zvakamutorera zviuru zvitatu zvemadhora kugadzirisa.
Anotenda nyaya yekuti vaviri ava vakabhururuka kuenda kuMexico zuva raitevera paSpirit Airlines inoratidza nyaya yake. Asi ndizvo here?
Chirimo chapfuura, Paul nomudzimai wake vakabvuma kukokwa kumuchato waJuly muMexico. Zvisinei, Sheila, mumwe mugari wechigarire weUnited States ane ganhuriro, akanga ane chinetso: green card rake rakanga richangobva kupera.
Pasinei nokuti akakumbira mvumo yekugara itsva nenguva, kubvumirwa kwakatora mwedzi 12-18. Aiziva kuti green card idzva raisasvika nenguva parwendo.
Veteran mufambi Paul akaita tsvakiridzo shoma nekuverenga bhuku rekutungamira paMexican consulate webhusaiti. Kubva paruzivo urwu, akafunga kuti kadhi regirini raSheila rakapera basa raisazomutadzisa kuenda kuCancun.
“Patakanga takamirira green card remudzimai wangu, akagamuchira fomu I-797. Gwaro iri rakawedzera green card remamwe makore maviri,” Paul akatsanangura kwandiri. "Saka isu hatina kutarisira matambudziko neMexico."
Nechivimbo chekuti zvese zvaive mugwara, vaviri ava vakashandisa Expedia kubhuka ndege isingamire kubva kuChicago kuenda kuCancun uye vakatarisira rwendo rwekuenda kuMexico. Vakanga vasisafunga nezve green cards dzapera expire.
Kusvikira zuva ravagadzirira kuenda rwendo rwekuenda kunzvimbo dzinopisa. Kubva ipapo, kuenda kunze kwenyika uine yakapera green kadhi zviri pachena kuti haisi zano rakanaka.
Vaviri ava vakaronga kunwa kokonati rum pamahombekombe egungwa reCaribbean masikati vasati vadya, vachisvika panhandare yendege mangwanani iwayo. Vachienda pakaunda yeUnited Airlines, vakatambidza mapepa ose ndokumirira nemwoyo murefu gwaro rokukwira. Vasingatarisire dambudziko, vakakurukura apo mumiriri wejoint achinyora pa keyboard.
Pakapera nguva yakati rebei pasi risati rapihwa, vaviri ava vakatanga kufunga kuti chii chaiva chakonzeresa kunonoka.
Mumiririri akashatirwa akatarisa kumusoro kubva pakombuta kuti ape nhau dzakaipa: Sheila aisakwanisa kuenda kuMexico negirinhi kadhi rakapera nguva. Pasipoti yake yechokwadi yekuPhilippines inomudzivirirawo kubva kunzira dzekuenda kune dzimwe nyika muCancun. United Airlines vamiririri vakavaudza kuti aida vhiza rekuMexico kuti akwire ndege.
Pauro akaedza kutaurirana nemumiririri, achitsanangura kuti Fomu I-797 inochengetedza simba regirini kadhi.
“Akandiudza kuti kwete. Ipapo mumiriri akatiratidza gwaro remukati raiti United yakabhadhariswa faindi yekuendesa maI-797 kuMexico, "Paul akandiudza. "Akatiudza kuti uyu hausi mutemo wendege, asi mutemo wehurumende yeMexico."
Pauro akataura kuti aiva nechokwadi chokuti mumiririri wacho akanga akanganisa, asi akaziva kuti pakanga pasina chikonzero chokuramba achiitisana nharo. Kana mumiririri akakurudzira kuti Paul naSheila vadzime ndege yavo kuti vawane chikwereti cheUnited nokuda kwendege dzinotevera, anobvuma.
"Ini ndinofunga ndichazvigadzirisa gare gare neUnited," Paul akandiudza. Kutanga, ndinofanira kufunga kuti ndotiendesa sei kuMexico kumuchato.
Paul akakurumidza kuziviswa kuti United Airlines yakanga yakanzura kubhuroka kwavo uye yakavapa kiredhiti yenguva yemberi yendege yeUS $1,147 yekutadza kuenda kuCancun. Asi vaviri ava vakabhuka rwendo neExpedia, iyo yakaronga rwendo sematikiti maviri enzira imwe asina hukama kune mumwe nemumwe. Naizvozvo, matikiti ekudzoka eFrontier haadzorerwe. Ndege yakabhadharisa vaviri ava muripo wekudzima madhora mazana mana nemakumi mashanu nesere ndokupa madhora zana nemakumi mana nematanhatu sekiredhiti yekufamba nendege. Expedia yakabhadharisawo vaviri ava muripo wekudzima madhora makumi mapfumbamwe nemapfumbamwe.
Paul akabva atarisa kuMweya Airlines, yaanotarisira kuti haizokonzerese dambudziko rakawanda seUnited.
“Ndakabhuka ndege yeSpirit yezuva raitevera kuti tisapotsa rwendo rwose. Matikiti enguva yekupedzisira anodarika zviuru zviviri zvemadhora,” akadaro Paul. "Inzira inodhura yekugadzirisa kukanganisa kweUnited, asi ini handina sarudzo."
Mangwana acho, vaviri ava vakaenda kuSpirit Airlines check-in counter vaine mapepa akafanana nezuro wacho. Paul ane chivimbo chokuti Sheila ane zvaanoda kuti aite rwendo runobudirira kuMexico.
Panguva ino zvakasiyana zvachose. Vakapa magwaro kuvashandi veSpirit Airlines, vaviri ava vakagamuchira mapassword avo pasina kunonoka.
Maawa gare gare, vakuru vakuru vekuMexico vanopinda nekubuda kwevanhu munyika vakadhinda pasipoti yaSheila, uye pasina nguva vaviri vacho vakazonakidzwa nemakorokoto pedyo negungwa. Apo vaBergara vakazopedzisira vasvika kuMexico, rwendo rwavo rwakanga rusina kuitika uye rwainakidza (izvo, maererano naPauro, zvakavaruramisa).
Apo vaviri vacho vakadzoka kubva kuzororo, Paul akanga akatsunga kuva nechokwadi chokuti chirango chakafanana hachina kuitika kune mumwe munhu upi noupi aiva nekadhi regreen.
After submitting his complaint to United Airlines and not receiving confirmation that she made a mistake, Paul sent his story to tip@thepointsguy.com and asked for help. In no time, his disturbing story arrived in my inbox.
Pandakaverenga nhoroondo yaPaul yezvakaitika kune vaviri ava, ndakarwadziwa chaizvo nezvavakanga vasangana nazvo.
Nekudaro, ndinofungidzirawo kuti United haina chayakanganisa nekuramba kutendera Sheila kuenda kuMexico aine green kadhi rakapera basa.
Kwemakore apfuura, ndakabata zviuru zvezvichemo zvevatengi. Chikamu chikuru chezviitiko izvi chinosanganisira vafambi vanovhiringika nekufambisa uye zvinodiwa zvekupinda kune dzimwe nyika. Izvi hazvina kumbobvira zvanyanya kuitika panguva yedenda. Muchokwadi, zororo revafambi vane hunyanzvi uye vane ruzivo vafambi vekunze vakakanganiswa nemhirizhonga, inokurumidza kuchinja zvirambidzo zvekufamba zvakakonzerwa nekoronavirus.
Nekudaro, denda harisi iro rakakonzera mamiriro ezvinhu aPaul naSheila. Kukundikana kwezororo racho kwakakonzerwa nokusanzwisiswa kwemitemo yakaoma yekufamba yevagari venguva dzose veUnited States.
Ndakaongorora ruzivo rwazvino rwakapihwa nemumiriri weMexico uye ndakatarisa kaviri zvandinotenda kuti ndizvo zvaive.
Nhau dzakaipa kuna Paul: Mexico haigamuchire Fomu I-797 segwaro rekufambisa rinoshanda. Sheila aifamba negreen card risingashandi uye pasipoti yekuPhilippines asina visa.
United Airlines yakaita chinhu chakanaka nekumurambidza kukwira ndege kuenda kuMexico.
Vabati veGreen card havafanire kuvimba negwaro reI-797 kuratidza kugara kweUS kune imwe nyika. Fomu iri rinoshandiswa nevakuru veUS Immigration uye rinobvumira vane makadhi egirinhi kuti vadzokere kumba. Asi hapana imwe hurumende inodikanwa kugamuchira iyo I-797 yekuwedzera sehumbowo hwekugara kweUS - ivo vangangoramba.
Muchokwadi, mumiriri weMexico akataura zvakajeka kuti paFomu I-797 ine girini kadhi rakapera nguva, kupinda munyika kunorambidzwa, uye pasipoti uye girini kadhi yeanogara zvachose zvinofanirwa kunge zvisina kupera nguva:
Ndakagovera ruzivo urwu naPaul, ndichitaura kuti kana United Airlines ikabvumira Sheila kukwira ndege uye akarambidzwa kupinda, vanogona kubhadhariswa faindi. Akatarisa chiziviso chemumiriri, asi akandiyeuchidza kuti Spirit Airlines yakanga yawana chinetso pamapepa aSheila kana vakuru vakuru veimmigration muCancun.
Vakuru veImigration vane zvimwe zvavanokwanisa kuita pakusarudza kuti vobvumira vashanyi kupinda munyika here. Sheila angadai akarambwa zviri nyore, akavharirwa, uye akadzokera kuUS pane imwe ndege inotevera. (Ndakashuma nyaya dzakawanda dzevafambi vane magwaro ekufambisa asina kukwana vachivharirwa uye ndokukurumidza kudzokera kunzvimbo yavo yekubva. Chakanga chiri chiitiko chinoodza mwoyo zvikuru.)
Nenguva isipi ndakava nemhinduro yokupedzisira iyo Pauro akanga achitsvaka, uye aida kuigoverana navamwe kuti ivo vagorega kuguma vari mumamiriro ezvinhu akafanana.
Mumiriri weCancun anotsinhira kuti: “Kazhinji, vagari vomuUnited States vari kuenda kunyika yeMexico vanofanira kunge vaine pasipoti (nyika yekwakabva) uye kadhi regirini reLPR rine vhiza rekuUnited States.”
Sheila angadai akanyorera vhiza yekuMexico, iyo inowanzotora mazuva gumi kusvika gumi nemana kuti atenderwe, uye angadai akasvika pasina chiitiko. Asi I-797 yakapera girini kadhi haisungirwe kuUnited Airlines.
Kuti ave nerunyararo rwepfungwa, ndinokurudzira kuti Paul ashandise pasipoti yemahara, vhiza, uye cheki yekurapa yeIATA uye aone zvazvinoti pamusoro pekuti Sheila akwanise kuenda kuMexico asina vhiza.
Iyo vhezheni yehunyanzvi yechishandiso ichi (Timatic) inoshandiswa nendege zhinji pakutarisa-mukati kuona kuti vafambi vane magwaro avanoda kuti vakwire ndege. Nekudaro, vafambi vanogona uye vanofanirwa kushandisa iyo yemahara vhezheni nguva refu vasati vaenda kunhandare yendege kuti vaone kuti havapotsa magwaro ekufambisa akakosha.
Paul paakawedzera zvese zvaidiwa naSheila, Timat akagamuchira mhinduro yakabatsira vaviri ava mwedzi mishoma yapfuura ndokuvachengetera madhora zviuru zvitatu: Sheila aida vhiza kuti aende kuMexico.
Sezvineiwo, mukuru weimmigration muCancun akamubvumira kupinda pasina dambudziko. Sezvandakadzidza kubva kune dzakawanda nyaya dzandakabata, kunyimwa kukwira mundege kuenda kwauri kuenda kunoshungurudza. Zvakadaro, zvakatonyanya kuipa kusungwa kwehusiku hwose uye kudzoserwa kunyika yako pasina muripo uye pasina mvumo.
Pakupedzisira, Paul akafadzwa nemashoko akajeka akagamuchira vaviri ava okuti Sheila angangodaro aizowana kadhi regreen rakapera basa munguva pfupi iri kutevera. Sezvinei nemaitiro ese ehurumende panguva yedenda, vanonyorera vakamirira kugadzirisa magwaro avo vanofanirwa kunonoka.
Asi zvino zvava pachena kune vaviri ava kuti kana vakafunga kuenda kunze kwenyika zvakare vakamirira, Sheila haazovimbi neFomu I-797 segwaro rake rekufambisa.
Kuve nekadhi regirini rapera nguva zvinogara zvichiita kuti zviome kufamba nenyika. Vafambi vanoedza kukwira ndege yepasirese vaine green kadhi yakapera nguva vanogona kusangana nematambudziko panguva yekusimuka nekusvika.
Kadhi regirinhi rinoshanda ndiro risati rapera. Vakapedza nguva vane makadhi egirinhi havangorasikirwe nekugara zvachose, asi kuedza kuenda kunze kwenyika uri mudunhu kune njodzi.
Green Card rapera nguva harisi chete gwaro rinoshanda rekupinda munyika zhinji dzekunze, asiwo rekupinda zvakare muUnited States. Vane makadhi eGreen vanofanira kuchengeta izvi mupfungwa sezvo makadhi avo ave kuda kupera.
Kana kadhi romuridzi wekadhi rikapera pavanenge vari kunze kwenyika, vangava nechinetso chokukwira ndege, kupinda kana kuti kubuda munyika. Zvakanakisa kunyorera kuvandudzwa zuva rekupera risati rasvika. Vagari vekusingaperi vanogona kutanga chirongwa chekuvandudza kusvika kumwedzi mitanhatu zuva chairo rekupera kadhi risati rasvika. (Cherechedza: Vagari vekugara vane mamiriro vane mazuva makumi mapfumbamwe kadhi ravo regirini risati rapera kuti vatange maitiro.)
