We landed at the Chicago Ohare International Airport at 7:18am, got to the Immigration line about 20 minutes later. The queue was a bit long, but it was mainly because it was just one CBP officer attending to New immigrants until one more joined in.
When it was my turn, I got called and was asked for my packet, I told them I had none, so the officer then asked for my customs declaration form that I had filled in the plane. After looking through and seeing I had no packet, he told me to follow him to another CBP area, where he gave my passport to the officers there, and then told me to wait in the waiting area along with about 6 immigrants there already before me. Less than 10 minutes later, the officer showed up from the room - called my last name, handed me back my passport along with the CBP declaration form, and said you can go. I asked him "that's it", he responded yes, you can go. I came last, I left first.
On my way to the baggage claim area, the customs declaration form was taken from me by another officer. After claiming my baggage, then onward to my connecting flight I went. That was it.
Overall, it wasn't a stressful experience for me other than waiting in the long queue.

Consulate Review
Aug 1, 2019
I had my interview on the 30th of July, everything was great. I was asked about 8 basic questions about my wife, myself and our girls.
During the interview, the consular officer told me the petitioner's information on my DS260 was missing that I failed to fill it in. Not sure how it happened but it was blank except that I selected spouse as the petitioner.
Anyway, the consular officer told me -- I am going to be returning your passport back to you until you have that information updated. Do that and I will issue your visa, she said. I simply just said thank you and was about to put my passport back in my folder when she said "wait, can you access your ds260 and have that information updated as soon as you leave here?" I said yes!... She then said, give me back your passport and put your petitioner's information on the DS260 immediately after leaving here and then email us or I will return your passport back if I don't get it before leaving my office today.
I wasn't able to put in the mising information immediately because the ds260 wasn't reopened on CEAC just yet, but I emailed them to let them know that I did try. Well, about 2 hours later, my wife checked and it was opened for update. So she quickly put in the information and I emailed them back letting them know I had done it.
To the glory of God, barely 48hrs after my interview --- my visa has been issued today the 1st of August 2019. I give all the honour and glory to the most high God. It's been tough but God had our backs for 9 years of distance relationship/marriage.

did beneficiary had an alien number and put it in file when filed I-130? I saw one other cases who was denied at K1 visa and applied for I-130 spouse and got approved in 127 days.
No, beneficiary didn't have an alien number to be put on file on the i130.
Good luck on your own petition.
Did you submit an I-129 petition for K3 visa at the same time as your I-130?
Thanks and good luck.
I wish you all success!
