I'm trying to decide on which POE to use. I have three options. Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit.

Any preference on POE?

Best day to arrive?

I hate ORD. Never been or want to go thru DTW and we will be going thru MSP this summer so we'll see. My vote would be MSP as it is a smaller airport. I really like DEN as it is our home and we do not have to worry about connecting flights. It would depend on your connection time and if there is another flight shortly after you scheduled flight just in case you miss your flight.

In the past Pui has used MSP twice and SEA once. The first time she used MSP was when she came here on her K1 almost 2 years ago. At that time lane 2 was for K1 but that may have changed since then. She had no problems then. The second time she used MSP was when she used her emergency AP and she had no problems and most of the questions she was asked is how she knew about the emergency AP. If she uses MSP once she gets to the lines for immigration have her go to the right that is for foreigners/non residents and the left side is for US Citizens and Residents. In April I was with her when we used SEA and they did not really ask us anything just took our passports, greencard, and marriage certificate.

In no sense of the word is MSP a smaller airport except in comparison to ORD or JFK. I've never cleared customs there so I can't speak to that but it as to be better than JFK or ORD.

I think the people are generally nicer at MSP. ORD is surly all around.
