POE Atlanta

[Donna & Paul 4]

Yay! My Paul is coming to America on 6 July. I went to the POE review boards, but we were wonder approximately how long is should take to clear customs in Atlanta on his K1 Visa so that we know how long a layover to schedule for his connecting flight. Thanks!

Congrats!

Pretty much everyone that leaves a POE review tells how much time it took them.

Took my husband less than 30 minutes when he came through Atlanta with a K-1, but it will depend on the day of week, time of the day, which CBP officer you get, etc. No one can tell you exactly how long it will take. You should make layovers to be at least 3-4 hours between flights just to be on the safe side.

Grats!

There are special windows (on the visitors lines) for people with K packets (that's exactly what it says on the screens over the booths).... There are people these that organize the lines, so I let a lady know I was a K packet holder and she moved me to a different line. I was first and the entire thing, counting from the moment I got out of the plane, must have taken me about 30 minutes! My flight arrived at 6AM EST.

One thing that surprised me was that, most people here, talk about being taken to a separate area where they process the papers; instead, they processed all my information at a regular window. It was a bliss to me! You can probably see my review by clicking on my timeline. I got here almost a month ago!

Thanks for the replies, guys! After I posted the question Paul found the POE reviews which helped immensely. It's always good to hear from those who have been through it before.
