My husbands POE is on July 6th and he will be coming in thru Chicago! I have read the reviews on Chicago and it sounds like he should be fine and no long waits (hopefully lol)I was wondering his final destination is Seattle so will he have to get his luggage in Chicago and then recheck them to Seattle or will he be able to just go thru customes and then straight onto his connecting flight? Thanks for starting this thread im very interested in hearing everyones first entry experiences. Good luck to everyone :D

On the same day the QEII will be putting in a cameo appearance at the UN.

...probably to urge us to repeal the declaration of independance.

That's a small miracle (getting anything from the SSA over the phone without them seeing a "body")...

Hi, I just arrived here in the US and Chicago was my POE. I had no problems whatsoever there, but your husband should have at least 2 hours layover before his connecting flight so he will not be stressed out on fears of missing his flight because there will be a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnngggg line for immigration checking and if he's not lucky enough only few immigration officers on duty on the day of his arrival. Anyway, after checking in for immigration, he needs to get/claim his baggage from the carousel, go to customs inspection then after that go to his connecting flight airline's check in counter and re-check in his baggage/s. He will be told or he should ask where the terminal and gate of his connecting flight is, because he needs to ride a train going to different terminals in O'Hare airport. When he reached the his terminal, he needs to look around for his flight schedule (which is posted in big wide screen at strategic corners of the terminal)to know his gate. When confuse, he should never hesitates to ask question as I have because airport personnel there are very accommodating.
