Possibly the single smoothest component to the entire immigration process. Fiancée and I arrived on an international flight, and based on an idea I saw in a post on here months ago, she took out her K1 sealed packet and held it up at chest height so that it was clearly visible. One of the ushers saw the packet, waved us toward one of the windows for citizens. The guy at the window was super friendly, took the packet and our passports. While reviewing the paperwork, he asked how long the process took and joked about how inefficient the USCIS is. He suggested we get married and kick off the AOS process as quickly as possible, making a few more comments about how slow the process is. He then handed our passports back with a "welcome to the US" and sent us on our way. The whole process didn't take 5 minutes.

Incredibly smooth and easy. The non-US citizen fiance made it through customs more quickly than the US citizen did!  They basically just took his envelope (with medical exam) and passport, sent us (together) to a CBP processing room. There they had us sit for a minute while they reviewed his documents and then he was stamped through. Barely even asked a question.

Entered Washington, DC through International Airport Dulles (IAD). There was no large line for security.
Went to the CBP officer and informed him I was entering on a K-1 Visa.
Officer was friendly and immediately asked if I had the "packet" with me, showing that he knew the process.
I handed over my sealed packet and he opened it and inspected it.
I was not taken to secondary questioning, nor was there any other real questioning by the officer.
He stamped my K-1 Visa with my entry date and stamped the end-date of my K-1 status the passport page above.
After the stamping, he welcomed me to the United States and allowed me in.
Very smooth entry by a professional officer. Total time was less than 5 minutes at the officer.

Dulles International airport immigration took about 1 hour waiting in line. When my fiancee got the officer, they asked her for medical and asked about wedding plans. The process took about 5 minutes and she got stamped and gained entry without any issues. Just be ready to wait an extra long time in the line because Dulles can get busy depending on what time you arrive.

Super easy. The officer just stamped my passport, explained that it’ll be valid as a green card for a year and then sent me on my way.
