Will there be a “significant” impact if I would arrive during the day or night time on my POE?

I’m able to find a good deal from a Travel Agency here in Cebu. I considered it a good deal coz it’s the cheapest fare I have encountered, so far. It’s a choice between Korean Airlines and Cathay Pacific. I have booked for these flights but I haven’t purchased the ticket yet. I’m still trying to finalize my decision.

With Korean Airlines, its $705 including taxes with route: CEB-Seoul-JFK. ETA: 10:50 AM

And then with Cathay Pacific, its $738 including taxes with route: CEB-HongKong-JFK. ETA: 9:25 PM

The cheapest I found online is $800+ including taxes but the site will not allow me to book the flight coz my credit card is issued in the Philippines. So I consider purchasing the ticket with a local travel agent.

My concern for now is choosing for the best “time frame” for my arrival. Will there be a “significant” impact if I would arrive during the day or night time at my POE? I mean, when it comes to difficulties with Immigration, is it likely to encounter problems with Immigration Officers assigned on a night shift? Or it’s no big deal at all whether it would be during the day or night time?

I would really appreciate some inputs for those who have an idea.

Your opinion is very much welcome.

Thank you!

It is not a big deal at all whatever time or day you come in the US..This is the very least things that you need to worry about.. You passed the approval stage, the medical exam and interview, so there is not really a big concern on POE..Goodluck and welcome to US :thumbs:
