"One Stop" at IAH Immigraton?
Flew into IAH from SJO last weekend. Horrendous lines for immigration.
As I was entering the line, saw a large sign for "One Stop," indicating that if one had no checked baggage or an international connection, he could use that lane. Sign did not specify any additional preconditions.
There was only one "One Stop" lane, but with very few people there. It was separate from Global Entry lane.
The Red Coat Wranglers said I could not use it.
I asked for more info, but nothing was forthcoming. I believe this program is only at IAH at this time; haven't seen it at JFK, EWR, IAD, LAX or ORD in the last 3 months.
Nearly 2 hours later, getting to the CBP agent, I was tempted to complain about being denied access to that lane, but passed since I had a tight connection.
Anyone used this lane so far?
I understand that one can be sent over for more checking if everything doesn't satisfy the CBP agent, but the Red Coats were not very cooperative with letting me access that lane.
