Andre came through Miami last year. First of all, they split us up and sent me to citizen's line and him to non-citizen line. It was no big deal cause they are close enough to see each other in. My one note of caution here is to make sure they take that brown envelope from your wife and escort her to interview room. They did not take Andre's envelope and luckily, I caught that fact and asked an immigration officer before we left the area. They were going to send him on through without the initial processing. UUUGGGHHHH!

Once they got their heads out of their butts, it went quickly....maybe 10 minutes.

Otherwise, they were very nice. And, everything went smoothly.

First of all Congratulations. Tell your wife that she need to expect a lil interview. They might ask her who petition her, ur address, something like that. She dont need to worry coz it's easy question. Congratulations again

Crazy & rude drivers...alot of road rage etc.
Sitting in traffic for 2 hours to travel 10 miles.
Many spanish speaking people...if she doesnt speak spanish ask her to get an electronic translator, or a spanish dictionary.

Good luckkkkkkk

Yes Duffbeer, I have lived in Miami long enough to be aware of rude drivers, road rage, traffic jams, bad public transportation, and spanish speaking people.
My wife won´t have to deal with this for a while, and no need for spanish translator or dictionary. She does speaks spanish, so she will need to learn english.
Just wanted to get feedbacks from anyone coming to USA thru Miami.
