POE what happens?

[Nida.f 2]

just wanted to ask what happens at POE when you arrive after being approved? do you just hand over the package and they just check and allow you to go or do thy ask you to go into the waiting room?

i have a connecting flight after POE so just wanted to have an insight as to how long it might take

thanks

Good question! I will have a connecting flight too.
I hope someone can answer this.

If this is your first time entering the US, you will have to go to the waiting room and they will check your paper work, medical and check your luggage. It usually take an hour to two hours depending on the traffic. Your connecting should be at least 3hours after your Arrival to the US, so you have enough time to pass through customs

They will review all your paperwork, ask some questions and if you have no issues with you or you're luggage you will not be searched. Personally I would leave 4 hours but each POE is different, remember you have to get your luggage, go to another terminal etc., coming from UK you should not have any issues. Good Luck. PS- see the UK site for other members reports on your question.

You could also try looking at the reviews for your particular POE. There is a link at the top of every VJ page (Reviews: Embassy/ USCIS & POE) if you are on a computer.

thank you for the replys. i will just ave to quickly get out of the plane and try get to the front of the line to ensure i have enough time for everything. i guess if im running close to my next flight i will just inform them of my next flight time and hopefully they can work to help me i have done this before and they worked well.
