Heartwarming
Difficulty:  | Review Topic: Port of Entry Review
My plane landed at Chicago airport finally after 30 hours, had layovers in Dubai and London. As soon i reached to the passport control section a guy told me to go to visitors line. I waited about 20 minutes in line and finally it was my turn. Immigration officer was in his late 30's i gave him my passport and that borown envelop received from the embassy. He asked me to put my four fingers of right hand on electronic finger prints machine and left the counter and came back with a pink folder. He put my envelop and passport in this pink folder and handed over to me and said something like " go get your luggage and submit this envelop at exit as i gave it to you, the counter you will submit it they will take care of this envelop today" i thanked him and left. I got my luggage from customs area with out any hassle it was there before i got there and went towards exit # 2. As soon i entered in this exit area i saw a counter on my left and it had a board on this as " Only new immigrants". Guy there told me to put my luggage beside the wall and have a seat. After 10 minutes i think he called my name and asked me to sign twice at a form and took a finger print of my one right hand finger manually with ink pad and asked me to exit. I put my luggage in X ray machine and and after scanning i was out Alhamdulillah. After buying a bottle of water and calling my mom, dad and wife i was ready to go towards terminal 3 to take my last connecting flight to be with my wife, my love finally alhamdulillah. By grace and blessing of ALLAH POE was awesome not even a single question was asked. But i only have one advice to people. Please buy a international calling card before to travel i bought a calling card at chicago airport for $10 and it only gave me 1 international minute to call my mom.
