Got off the plane as quick as possible and when I got to immigration there were only about 6 people in front of me. As usual we got slowed up by all the people in wheelchairs getting put in front.
normal stuff at the desk with fingerprints, photo and so on. Lady said oh you are getting married then. very friendly, she opened my big envelope and had a quick look then got me escorted to the processing room which I was expecting.
I sat while another CBP lady went through the contents and she found out I had someone elses I129F in my docs. She allowed me to call my fiancee to tell her i was going to be a while. So after about an hour I was admitted on parole for 30 days while we sorted out the cock up by london embassy.
The officer was very sympathetic and said she had not seen that in her 6 years there.
After a week or so they had got my petition back from London and I returned to BWI to get stamped in properly.
The bloke there was very friendly and helpful and we had a bit of a chat about the govt shutdown.
Considering the cockup by London I found the CBP at BWI very friendly and as helpful as they could be.
