Customs at LAX

[Lisamarie 79]

Has anyone here or their spouses/fiances been through customs at LAX? And especially anyone from a MENA country? About how long does it take?

Thanks

Have all your papers ready and in order. Don't bring any replica or pirated items. The less you bring the better. Make direct eye contact and relax. Smile and say thank you. Should be no problems. I'd say up to 90 minutes is fair for hubby to be waiting for ya! Congratz!

I'm waiting for him:)) 90 minutes, wow that's a long time. I'm glad I asked so I know what to expect. Has anyone had shorter or longer waiting times? Thanks

Customs at LAX was a 4 hour wait, with no questions. Don't bother getting there early. I am LE from Ca and talked to the Security guards where you wait. They all said 3/4 hours, buy some flowers and wait.

Oh wow, that's a long wait. I don't want to get there late either, just in case for some reason he breezes right through (wishful thinking). What is LE? Will I wait at baggage claim or is there a better place to wait for him? Thanks!

My fiance came through customs in early June... and he had to go through the slow line due to a misunderstanding.

He flew on American - so landed in the American terminal...and honestly - he was through in about 20 minutes. That is - from getting off the plane, immigration officers, bags, customs - all of it. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Wishing the best to both of you.

Are you asking about US Customs or Immigration? Not the same thing.

[Lisamarie 79]

Oh, I don't know. I didn't realize he would go through two different things. I guess I meant immigration, or both.......
