hi all ,, i know its earlier asking about this issue cause i didnt get my visa yet but its important to know to everyone , my question is .... where the imgrant officer start to check your paper is at the first airport you arrive or if you have another flight they let you go and check it at the state which you will arrive at the end of your flight? for example lots take a flight to NY(JFK) airport then take another one to go to any other state like LA or AZ or what ever and time between the two flight three hours or four waiting between each flight so if they start check your papers on the first airport or let you go then check it at the last airport ? this is important to know cause if they check it on the first one need to know how long they take if longer they can let you miss your next flight and i heard they took longer time to check your papers so please any information about that to let everyone know and manage the flight as well choice the right time between the flights and all , thanks so much .
Salaam,
They will check your papers at your first port of entry--the first airport.
My husband came through JFK and the whole process took about an hour or so... I can't tell you about other airports.
Try to leave a couple hours between flights if you can... But don't worry too much, it will work out okay!

Salam bro
Yeah they will check your papers at the first POE.
It might take 5 minutes and it might take an hour or more .sometimes they ask some questions like a short interview .sometimes they don't .
So 3 hours between your flights is good idea .
Good luck and my best wishes for you .
