Immigration lines at Chicago OHare? -

My husband and son hold US passports and I hold a UK passport. Will we be able to go through the same line at O Hare? I know there are separate lines for US and non-US but would they let us go through as a family or would my husband have to take my son (who is 3 months old) through the US side while I waited in the non-US line (which is normally a very long wait and I m sure the little one is not going to be amused after a 10 hour flight having to be away from me)

I believe it doesn t matter, the only reason why there are two different lines is to speed up the process, because US citizens/US Permanent Legal Residents pretty much just go through...Also, just because you hold a UK passport doesn t mean you have to separate because you could be a Legal Resident (green card) but anyway, whatever your legal situation may be, I believe you can go as a family together through the US Citizen/US legal residents line. CBP officers and their stations are equipped with the stamps and the fingerprint machines to handle both situations. I would suggest once you get off the airplane you ask a C.B.P. officer before you got through Immigration, so that you don t waste time in the wrong lineYou can always call USCIS National Customer Service Center (NCSC): 1-800-375-5283.

You could wait with your husband and son, it s all computerized.

It doesn t matter, you will be waited on any line .
