Thanks
So I will answer my own question. I came into Terminal C and no one knew what I was talking about at IAD. The Customs Agent told me I head to go thru customs in Terminal C then go over to main Terminal to do EOA. I was skeptical and asked 3 more times, are you sure I cannot go back and go to main Terminal directly and go thru customs there and do EOA. Each time, with more frustration, he told me to complete customs entry and then go over after.
Fast forward 1 hour, I should have followed my gut. When arriving in Terminal C, as you are walking to Customs there is a decision point. If you have transfers (purple sign) or no transfer (yellow signs). Even if you have a transfer, take the NO TRANSFER YELLOW SIGN WAY! This will put you on a shuttle to the main terminal and you can complete your EOA there as you in-process the country.
