I've only flown into T8 twice this year but both times immigration was non-existent. I was first off the plane and first at immigration back in January. Not sure what it's like for others, but twice for me, twice deserted. One of the best immigration experiences in the US this year, for sure.

ORD was 1.5 hours for me back in March, so I guess it shows what time you arrive - we were behind 3 planes.

T8? T7 before the start of this year was bad, but twice going through T8 this year there were zero queues.
MIA is consistently the worst for immigration for me. Oddly even though AUS is a small airport, it is consistently variable as you have to wait for your bag and if it's last, even if you're in J, you're behind everyone else in the queue! I was once about 3rd or 4th off the flight to find my back was nearly last to come out. Over an hour wait.
