Entering the US on CR-1
Hi guys,
I entered on my CR-1 visa just 3 days ago. My POE was JFK and all processing took less than 30 minutes, queue included
. A very kind and smiley CBP officer took my envelope, my passport and my X-ray CD. It took her 10 minutes to go through all the papers in the envelope and then proceed to stamp my passport above my visa. There was no secondary processing. She returned my passport and said Welcome to the USA
So many thanks to all contributors on this forum. The quality of information here is outstanding and has been a real help along the way.
Best Wishes,
Avi

Congratulations and thank you for posting. All being well I'll be doing that in a little over 2 weeks so it's nice to know what to expect.
