My husband (new US resident previously undocumented in the USA) and I entered together and the Miami airport. After I scanned my passport and got my slip a very helpful official pointed us into the right direction to start the incoming process for my husband.( non citizen/resident line) We picked a line and it moved fairly quickly. We handed his packet over took his picture then I handed over my passport as well. Very friendly staff. I feel that smiling and being calm on my part helped with the level of kindness the immigration officials showed us as well. We were escorted by another official to a holding room with vending machines and chairs and tv and we’re told to wait for our names to be called. When my husbands name was called I went with him. They asked who I was (wife) and I joked with the official a little. And smiled. They asked if the mailing address was correct and if we brought in any food (no) told us to wait just a minute while they stamped and signed everything and we’d be good to go. The entire time from deboarding to being out of immigration checks was about 20-30 minutes for us. Now I have family that took 3 hours as well so it depends on how many officials are working time of day and day of the week. I would say the staff and officials were really great and I’m glad we chose Miami as our entry point.
