Check this site http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/poereviews.php You can choose any POE in the states and see its ratings and kind of what questions they ask. Personally, I wasn't really asked any questions - I just handed them my file and they handled everything silently from there. Be prepared to wait a while, especially in busy airports! Good luck! :thumbs:

Take a look at POE review. Mine was LAX. Was so easy. My husband said, take the night arrival time so the CBP even already tired to deal with many questions. That was what i got. The CBP was so easy. Only asked me two questions; what for i came and when would we get marry. That was it.

Yes, they take the very first POE on American ground (very rarely outside the US) - flying from CHI to CA is a national flight - you don't pass through passport control with those. :thumbs:
