I haven't heard anything bad about Boston but I've heard Newark is terrible. Tons of harassment and denial of business visa applicants. My company has had several people fly from India and all get sent back from Newark because on person said he was coming for a meeting and anther said coming for training. Both were correct answers. This happened a couple of different times.

I realize business visas are different than marriage and fiance visas, but if they'll harass one group, they'll probably harass them all.

Does anyone else know of POE's that are rough to go through?

It must have been an odd single case; I've been flying a lot to Newark under the VWP for the last 2 years and It's been always a breeze through...was barely asked for my ESTA and return ticket only 2 times,otherwise just a couple of questions and that's it.

P.S. Atlanta and Charlotte seem to be a little bit annoying as reported by more then one person.

I don't think it has to do with a certain POE being better than other, but some custom and immigration officers are nicer than others.
