I am soooo happy and relieved. My husband received his visa this week and will be coming to the U.S. (San Francisco) next week. I wanted to go get him and come back wth him but am unable to do so. He has never flown before and is nervous about arriving in the US. Can you please tell me what the procedure will be once he arrives. Which line does he wait in and do they then take him to another office with his brown envelope? What is in that envelope? They dont ask questions like they did when we applied for the visa, do they? How long does it usually take on average if there is not a long line before he will come through the customs door to meet me? He is flying direct to San Francisco so he won't be changing planes. Any feedback is much apprecaited. THANKS

THANK YOU so much for the information. I am so anxious and excited, hard to think of anything else. It has not been easy doing all this waiting but having everyone here on Visa Journey with the same situations has been a blessing. Again, thanks and we will report next week how things went!
