My POE was at MIA. I got to immigration around 9:30am. It was rather surprising to find the lines empty. It seems like only the people there were from the half filled plane I came on; however, I followed suggestions from other reviews and joined the residence line. I was finger printed and photographed. I was then told by the officer to wait to be processed after handing in my packet.
A few minutes later I was directed to an immigration room where I saw around 20 people waiting . I had to wait for about an hour before I was called by a pleasant female officer of Spanish descent. She asked me quite a few questions, then had me read and sign a sheet regarding my conditional permanent residency, basically info that I had already read here on VJ, that I'll need to file removal of condition at least 90 days before my conditional green card expired. After I signed, she stamped my passport and told me my cr1 visa will be valid to travel in and out of the US for a year, and that I should receive my green card in the mail between 6 weeks to 8 months.
After that she took me to a room where she fingerprinted me and ask me to sign. I was then given my passport back and a copy of the conditional green card document I had signed to, and told that was it, and that I should go and claim my luggage. All in all it was a good experience. It took about 1 1/2hr.
