My flight arrived at 1.30 p.m, 45 minutes earlier than scheduled. After claiming the baggage,I was not sure whether to line up at the visitor or US citizen/resident line. Asked a woman officer who was there to help direct people, she pointed to the visitor line when I showed her the brown envelope and asked where should I go.
Both the visitor and US citizen/resident lines were equally long but moved at a fast pace. I stayed about 10-15 minutes in line and then was directed to a separate section for processing immigrant visa. Two other people were there, it took a few minutes for my name to be called. The officer asked whether I speak English and when did we get married. That were the only two questions he asked before he took my fingerprint, had me signed twice on a form and then said we were done and I could proceed to the custom clearance.
The custom clearance was easy, they didn't open my baggage, just ran them through the machine and I was good to go.
I was out at the arrival hall at 3.05 p.m, 35 minutes after arrival.
