So I thought I’d give an update on how I got on last week arriving into SFO.
As I was flying J class I was amongst the first to get off the plane which turned out to be a good thing as there was only one immigration officer on duty for international arrivals! The situation improved after approx 20 minutes with 2 additional immigration officers starting their shift as the queue behind me grew up exponentially.
In the end it took me around 45-50 minutes to clear immigration (landed around 1.30pm).
The immigration officers appeared chatty and friendly which hasn’t always been my experience – this made the wait slightly less frustrating. Just glad I didn’t have the kids with me on this trip! After a 10h flight I’m not sure they’d have been as relaxed…
