I traveled with my wife yesterday who was arriving on a CR1 visa. We flew in to Terminal C, which is much nicer than Terminals A/B at Orlando. I'm a US citizen but went with her in the Visitors line which was no problem. The airport was a ghost town and there was no line at immigration. The officer took her picture then escorted us in to secondary and told us to have a seat. We were the only ones in secondary and they called my wife up to the counter in 1 minute. The officer spoke to my wife in Spanish and just asked her to confirm the address where she would be living, then spoke to me and ask me for my phone number, and to confirm if I had already paid the new immigrant fee (yes). They provided my wife a print out in Spanish of the new immigrant guide and said the green card would be mailed to her and to follow up if it hadn't arrived in 4-5 months. The only customs question asked was how much currency she was carrying, and that was it. We were done in about 5 minutes total. The officers were direct but professional.
