Hi guys,

My K1 visa finally arrived today after 6.5 long weeks of torture since the interview. Thank you god!

Let me just say that contacting your congressman is a blessing.

So which line do I take in Philadelphia? The tourist line or the citizens/residents one?

Does someone know what's the level of crowededness there in the early AM?

Thank you VJ for this amazing website I don't know what I would do without it!

Hold your envelope up in the air when you arrive at the POE and the CBP officer will direct you to the proper line (usually it is the visitor line).

Length of time at CBP depends on how many international flights arriving at the same time. Usually, early morning or late night is the fastest processing times.

YOU go to the visitors line as you are not a resident yet. AS said before depends on how many flights arrive at that time but early mornings do usually move faster.

Congratulations!

Go to visitors line, they will open your packet, ask very few questions, give you your entry card in your passport, do not loose it. A mystery happens you are in the US. LAX was three hours FYI.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.
