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.
