I had my K1 Visa printed on my passport with a footnote stating NIE TO PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION plus an e-mail received by the US Consulate of Naples (Italy) saying that I was granted a National Interest Exemption to the current presidential proclamation 9993 and I had to enter the USA within 30 days from the issuance date.
I flew to Amsterdam where I would have changed the flight and I had no issue with the local authority.
Once I got to Chicago O'Hare Port of Entry I had to go through the Customs stands as many other international visitors/visa holders in line with me.
I showed my package to the Officer who started asking a few questions about my US Fiance and our relationship. He did not take me to any specific rooms and everything went smoothly. He took my finger prints and a picture of me. He reminded me that I have 90 days to marry my US fiance and let me go.
I took my luggage from the baggage reclaim and I went through a second security check. The Officer asked me why I had with me so much luggage (4 pieces) and I explained that I was moving to the US on a K1 Visa. He did not want to see my visa and let me go.

Very easy, I gave them my passport and just waited a couple of minutes for them to put my info in the computer, they stamped my passport and I was good to go. They didn’t ask me anything.
My flight was the only one that arrived at that time so the line went very fast, maximum 30 minutes and I was one of the last people they checked. Lots of international students on our flight, something to be expected as school starts soon.

The wait in the queue was almost 1 hour long (only the passengers from my flight), since there were only 3 or 4 officers working.
My experience with CBP was pleasant. I handed him my passport and the health form (that I filled on the plane) and specified that I'm coming on a spouse visa. Then he asked me if I am married to a US citizen and if I carry any other documents. Since my application is in the online system, I wasn't given any sealed package after the interview. I confirmed the mailing address for the Green Card and I explained why is different from my current location.
The whole interaction took less than 10 minutes. He put the stamp on the opposite page and wrote my A number, handed my passport and health form back and said that I was all set.
Before baggage claim, everyone has to go through a screening, where they take your temperature and ask a few questions. They write something on the form and hand it back to you, and after you pick up your luggage you have to present the form to the agents before exit doors.

It was very confusing as the lady officer misinterpreted my visa as being an already stamped visa, so she thought I was waiting for my green card and simply reentering on a stamped visa. I picked up my luggage and went out to the waiting hall in the terminal. Realizing I had no stamp on my visa I went to the Border & Immigration Office and the officer there went back inside to have my visa stamped. I feel like I just slipped into the US having had no questions asked. And this during a time when barely any visas are issued!

Arrived back to the US after 11 months and 3 weeks abroad.
Really nice older gentleman at the customs booth, no issues whatsoever. Took my fingerprints, look over my passport and Green Card, said "Welcome" and we were on our way. Took less than 5 minutes, and this is during a global pandemic.
