Landed early evening in San Diego.
Waited in line and when called forward to the immigration desk passed the sealed envelope and passport to the immigration officer.
Got a smile from him, and a "congratulations, you're immigrating to america"
Was instructed to follow him to the seating area next to the office, and told someone would come out in a few minutes.
10 minutes later my passport was returned to me, as well as an annotated customs declaration.
I was asked to provide the telephone number of my wife. The officer told me to keep an eye out for the social security number which should be in the mail in a few days.
At customs was congratulated on immigrating to America and was sent on my merry way.
That was it.

I entered US through San Diego. It was so smooth, thank God. No interview at all. The officer only checked my paper work and reminded me to do the process within 90 days.

I had read a lot of POE reviews before boarding my plane, and saw that San Diego was always good.
I was therefore ready to answer few questions.
The way it happened was the following.
I was standing in line with my sealed package and my passport. I got called to a desk. The CBP officer asked me what was the purpose of my visit today. I answered that I was coming on a K1 visa, and I was here to marry my fiancee. He called another office who guided me to a bench, and asked me to sit there while they were checking my package. About 10 minutes later, I got called inside the office.
They had opened my sealed package, and asked me a lot of questions about my girlfriend, her family, our wedding. All the questions were easy to answer, and it should be easy for everybody to answer if you have a bona fide relationship.
At the end, they made me sign the I-94 form, and asked me when the wedding was taking place, who will come and so on. They were always nice and respectful.
At the end they asked me if I had brought any gift for my fiancee, question to which I answered negatively. They all laughed and told me that I shouldn't take bad habits like that.
If you are not hiding anything it should be easy, just be ready for some questioning.
It makes it even better when you can finally hold your fiancee/fiance in your arms and think back about the whole process.

Flight arrived about 1.5 hrs late. As it is a 777 (and it wasn't full)the queue at immigration wasn't too bad.
We handed in our manilla envelopes and the officer took our fingerprints and photo and then sent us to sit down to the right of the queue with our envelopes.
We were there a few minutes when another officer came out and took our envelopes & passports. Another wait for about 10 mins or so and we were taken into an office where a fingerprint was taken of our right index finger - he did a test print and then one on one side of a form, then on the other. Then we had to sign under each fingerprint.
We sat outside again for about 10mins when the officer came back with our passports duly stamped up. We left and wished good luck by our original immigration officer.
All very pleasant and friendly. In all took about an hour from landing. As we were about the last out there was no queue to get through the baggage screening.
