POE SeaTac wait time

[ThailandR 54]

The K1 visa for my Fiance has been approved and issued. Trying to book the flight from Thailand to Portland, Oregon which will enter the US through SeaTac in Seattle.  What i need to know from someone who has gone through the process at SeaTac is how much time is needed to be processed at The CBP location upon entering the country. 

 

Trying to ensure enough time is allotted for a connecting flight to Portland.  One flight has a 2 and 1/2 hour layover before the connecting flight another has 3 and 1/2 hours.

 

Can anyone assist us please. I will be flying with her as well.

SeaTac is exceptionally busy these days.   I would definitely pick the flight with the longer layover.

Summer travel I would surmise. Maybe just make the flight to Seattle as we have to collect the bags anyway as the flight to Portland is a domestic flight which will require a new check-in.  Maybe stay in Seattle a day or two and show her the Market place and the Space needle.
