The immigration hall was very busy and the "ushers" were moving people from one queue to another... by the time I got to the front of my queue I was feeling sorry for the people stood behind me as I thought I would take up the IO's time (entering on a K3).
The IO went through by stuff - passport, visa, white i-94 and MBE (didn't want the x-ray). He then took me to a side room and passed the stuff to another IO. I was directed to a row of chairs in front of the other IO who was sitting behind a long counter with around 5 PCs on it. She was tapping away on one of them. Another IO in the room was getting very irate with another "customer" - from what I could gather he was a Brit passport holder who was naturilzed after being granted asylum and was now trying to get into the States... to join his wife without the proper visa.
After 10 minutes I was called up to the desk and after a minute or two of her bending my passport back and forth, she stamped the page opposite the visa as well as the i-94. Passed the passport back to me and I was pointed to the door to continue on my way.
So all in all around 20 minutes long.
