Entered Nov 2 evening at Cincinnati. Immigration people there were very disorganized. Our flight came in first and I was one of the first in line. The immigration officer took our papers and instructed us to get our bags and proceed to a waiting area. Unfortunately after we picked up our bags, another flight came in from London/Gatwick. They actually made us wait for 1 and a half hour till they cleared all the passengers who had landed. then they took another half hour to process all the new immigrants (maybe 6 of us total). Absolutely terrible. Missed our connecting flight though when we landed we had 2 hours to make the connection. Got re-routed and arrived 3 hours later than expected.
THE PROCESS
We were called in, fingerprinted, they put the I-551 (green card) temporary stamp in our passports and told us to expect the cards within 6 months. Conventional wisdom and reading these boards dictate that we should receive them in under a month. I believe the INS actually has their act together with respect to issuing the physical resident alien card. The aliens have landed.
