Not sure if this is the place to post this question...here goes.

I am flying back with my fiancee and my POE is JFK. Looking at the POE reviews at JFK posted on VJ, it was not clear which line both the US citizen/fiancee stand in ... US Citizens/GC holders or Visitors ?

Needless to say, we would like to minimize the wait and want to stand in the US citizens line unless the visitor line was shorter. Our flight gets in at 6:40am in the morning.

Can folks chime in with input/thoughts/experiences ?

thx

Can you ask the airport information staff on which line your fiancee should stand in? I assume they know.

Moving to Moving Here and Your New Life in America forum as post concerns protocol at POE.

My husband and I did POE together and we asked a crowd control officer which line to join for processing a CR1 visa. Personally, I'd rather do that than get to the head of the US citizen line and then be told to go to the back of the other one.

This is not the case for every POE on every day. We went through together at Newark in the non-USC line, as instructed by CBP staff. However, I have heard of people going through the USC line at Newark as well. I wouldn't assume anything -- asking questions on the day can't hurt and could help.

I'm glad someone asked this question! I was thinking the same thing...

If your really OCD, why not check how many international flights are arriving at the same time so you can gage the line? At JKF I've been in at 25 minute USC line and a 2 second USC line. The time of day and season (August is HELL) makes a huge difference.
