2.5 hours?
I was on holidays to the US 12 days ago. Clearing customs & immigration in Miami International took less than 15 minutes.
- superhuzza 8y agoYes, the line for foreign passports was 2.5 hours at Washington Dulles. 2 CBP agents for a few hundred people.
- rfinney 8y agoLast time I was there, US passports lane was slow, foreign was very fast.
- pintxo 8y agoImmigration is - probably everywhere not only the US - a sort of lottery. Depending on your time of arrival (3 other flights coming in at the same time?), your passport (biometric? citizen?) and your travel class (first get's off first, and will either have their own lines or simply outrun you to immigration due to their headstart). And then there are also prioritized programs (global entry etc) you could sign up for prior.
- sgjohnson 8y agoForeign biometric passport. Travelling on ESTA. No Global Entry, Economy ticket, so getting off with the rest of the cattle. But yes, I have never, ever in my life seen a immigration queue that long, and I’ve taken some 50-60 flights in my lifetime.
