My POE was in Philadelphia yesterday. There was two lines, one for the USC and one for the visit visa and other visa. So I Had to stand up in immigration check in visa line for like 30 mins or so. I gave him my passport, US CBP form (which I filled up in plane just before landing) and boarding pass and he looked my visa status and asked for my packet sent from the embassy. I handled it to the CBP officer(I think), he took my digital pic, finger print of my right hand and put my packet and passport in the red folder and asked me to go to the another room for the rest of processing. I had to wait like 15mins in that room again and officer called me and showed me the immigrant visa applicant's form with the pic on it( who was ahead of me in line) and asked if I have missed to give him that form coz that one was not in the packet from the embassy. And I told him I have never seen that kinda form before then he said "ok then" and he photocopy my and my son's passport and stamped it and wrote down something on it. After looking and typing something in this computer he stamped our passport and gave it back to us and said "welcome ". I was so surprised it was done already but he didnt asked for my pics and birth certificate photocopy as I had heard abt other reviews they ll ask for my BC and pics at the POE. So i wanted to make sure for not to get rfe and I asked him if I need to submit there photocopy of my BC and my pics and he said "No you dont need to here since everything is already in the packet"
I had a connecting flight from Philadelphia in 3 and half hour and everything went well.
In the Roanoke regional airport I didnt have to show anything like passport or luggage pass anything which was very easy
