I was notified by the First Class lounge staff that it was time for me to head over to US Pre Clearance about 45 minutes prior to boarding time. The walk from the lounge to US Pre Clearance took about 5 minutes or so. After getting through clearance, I sat in a separate area with other first and business passengers for 25 minutes before we were allowed to board.

Note that the gate seating area for business and first class passengers was no different than the general seating with the exception being we were segregated off by a velvet rope.
