Flight landed at 315pm, was told to go to visitors line, which at the time was a VERY LONG line, so the wait was quite long.
Finally got to the immigration officer. I handed over my passport and the sealed envelope. As he checked to make sure everything's okay, he asked me questions about my job, what visa I have, took my fingerprints and take my glasses off when he took the picture.
Then he gave me a number (1) and put the sealed envelope and passport into a folder, and told me to go through to the next checkpoint. Said an officer will assist me. I went to get my checked bags, and an airport staff helped me push the cart. Was told to wait in the small room, so waited for a few minutes before being called by another officer.
Was asked to sign a form, then the officer returned my passport, and congratulated me before saying, "welcome to the USA"! I was told my GC could be received anywhere from 4-6 months, maybe earlier.
I thanked them and got on my way. Finally saw my husband at 515pm! It was the long wait at the visitors line and getting my bags that took a lot of time. The POE was fairly hassle free, and the officers were nice.
