Hello Josteve dont worry about your Piont of Entry in Detriot bcoz it's easy and quick. My experience for my POE in detriot last month was great I haven't problem at all. When I get off from the plane I follow everybody and walk fast to make sure I'll arrive in the counter with not alot of people bcoz of my time for the next flight was short. So when my time already for the officer interview I feel so excited bcoz I'm thinking that in a couple of hour I can see my honey. The Immigration Officer who interviewed me was nice. He just ask me a few question like. What the purpose of my travel? Get my passportand Ask my packet from U.S Embassy ( Yellow Envelope)he can look all the details. Ask my address here in U.S where I stay. I wait 2 minutes bcoz he go inside the cubicle and when he come back he said all is fine and say welcome to the U.S. He call other Immigration Officer to stamp my passport, staple my I-94 and write when my 90 days expired and return my passport. I haven't any problem bcoz all the bag i bring was chick-in only the carry on bag with me are small that fit the yellow packet and some of my personal things. I'm sure you'll be ok. Pray for Guidance..Good bless and Good luck

The I-94 is the white arrivals-departure form.

You will be given that and a blue customs declaration form to fill in on the plane. Present both forms at immigration.

Have a safe flight! :)

Check the weather and be prepared. It was warm when my husband entered but in our city, the airport was air conditioned to sub-zero. I froze while waiting for him and had to go outside to stand with the other normal-dressed people. Everyone inside waiting had suits, coats, or blankets. He wore extra stuff so that it wasn't packed, so he was fine.

Standing in line for customs can take a few minutes or a couple of hours--it sucks to be shivering the whole time.

Things were delayed for him, too, because one passenger was arrested upon exiting the aircraft. The excitement of watching that distracted everybody for a while.

Be sure to give your rating on your POE after you get here, and please, include your airline or country in that. Our airport has a different terminal for one international airline than the rest and that might be helpful to someone else in the future.
