There was a lady when we entered immigration that was saying you could only use the citizens line if everyone in your party had a US passport so we got in the visitor's line. When we got to the front the guy said, you know you could have used the citizens line since one of you is a citizen, which would have saved us some time, but oh well. Then he ripped up one of our customs forms and said we only needed one. After processing us he then called over another official who took our envelope and my fiances passport/customs form and brought us to a room with about 50 people. The seats in the back corner can't hear anything when they call people, so I would avoid sitting there. We waited about 3.5 hours until a guy finally called us up. He asked if Alfredo spoke English and I said "not yet" so he said "I'll tell you then" and made sure I knew all the stipulations of the fiance visa and he gave us our stuff and sent us on our way. Also while we were in the room a lady from the airline took down our baggage numbers and brought our checked bags through customs for us and rechecked them. Really the only difficulty of the whole thing was the long-ish wait and being nervous about our next flight since some people had waited 5 or 6 hours.
