*** Please note this is a review about the New York SEAPORT - it hasn't been added to the list of POEs yet, so I chose Newark instead.***
I entered the U.S. by cruise ship through the Manhattan Cruise Terminal in New York. Immigration took place inside the cruise terminal. Most of my paperwork was processed right on spot by a friendly immigration officer. He asked when and where the wedding would take place, stamped my passport and looked through my papers. He also told me that I have 90 days to get married. He then took me to another office, where he handed my passport and papers to another officer. I waited for about 5 minutes, until I was called and (again) asked when the wedding would take place. Got my passport back, was told "Congratulations" - and off I went. The whole immigration process took about 20 minutes to complete. All in all a very pleasant experience
