Any thoughts on how long it will take us to get through immigration at SFO?
We land at around 1pm on a Saturday afternoon on a flight from Amsterdam.
How long to get through immigration?We arrived in San Francisco from Heathrow on 23rd August ( so in the aftermath of the recent terrorist scare ) It took us around 20 minutes and the immigration officers were pleasant and welcoming. A huge difference form recent experiences in Los Angeles and New York !!! Perhaps we were lucky - we prefer to think that the people are just nicer in San Francisco !!
How long to get through immigration?I arrived in SFO with friend from UK, and it took both of us about 25 minutes.
I was just about the last one of the plane and from stepping offto getting on the BART into the city with my luggage was a few minutes over an hour. No time at all really.
We landed yesterday afternoon at around 1pm and the queues were very long...they did eventually open the US citizens desks for us . Even then, for some strange reason the lugges was still not ready. Took about an hour to get through, but would have been way longer without the extra gates open.
Thanks for all the info. It sounds much better than i had imagined. (I was thinking it would take us hours!!)
Only 9 working days to go till we leave :-)
It took us about 10 minutes last week, very pleasant too!!
