Point of Entry (POE) Experience: Chicago Hi all,
I just came back from Japan the day after I got my immigrant visa stamped on.
POE in Chicago was simple and painless.
1. I went to the US Citizen/Permanent Residents line.
2. I told the officer I was a new immigrant.
3. The officer told me to wait against the wall.
4. Another officer took me to another booth that said "New Immigrants Only."
5. Waited for 10 min or so till the officer at this new booth went through my papers.
6. The officer called my name.
7. He took my finger prints (index finger 2 times), and signatures (2 times also).
8. He explained to me that I should be getting the green card in the mail in a few months.
9. That's it!
Never once he asked me for the x-ray.
Good luck to you all.
