Hi all,
Figured I'd leave a short review for my arrival yesterday in the US. I'll keep it short because there is only so much you can about this.
After landing, made my way to the passport / visa checkpoint.
Detroit has no separate lines for people that come for a new visa so I had to step in the long queue. Which I was a bit annoyed about, since even though we as EU can travel with an ESTA, we're not allowed to use that queue since we're entering the country in a visa.
The waiting time wasn't ridiculous though, maybe 30 minutes, could have been a lot shorter if they would have more than 5 people actually working 
When it was my turn, I told the lady that I was entering the country using my k-1 visa and handed her over my passport, the big envelope from the embassy and my i94.
She tore up the i94 since apparently I didn't need it for entering on a k-1 visa.
Then only thing she asked was how I met my fiancé, browsed through the paperwork. Then smiled, congratulated me and stamped my passport.
No additional interviews, no going into the homeland security office nothing
So not experience was good, only thing they could improve on is having more people working when it's quite busy.
Obviously things are hard to judge for a POE because it just depends on who is helping you and if they are in a good mood or not. But I can recommend detroit.
