MAN Flts arriving at EWR Terminal B
Having flown Man-EWR at least twice a year for the last 4 years I always arrived at Terminal C and found immigration there to be quick and painless.
In November last year the flight went into Term B and it was a real pain getting through immigration and customs was even worse
Start of this month I flew over and again we went into Term B and again the immigration queues were longer
I've noticed a few flights this week have been arriving at B as well.
Was I just lucky previously or has there been a shift in policy that international flights now arrive at Term B?

Terminal B
CO still primarily uses Terminal C. Flights will be routed to Terminal B when they run out of gates at Terminal C.
I have arrived at Terminal B on an international flight perhaps a dozen times, on CO, but also on SAS and l'Avion.
I have never noticed a big difference in the time it took to clear passport control and customs at Terminal B versus Terminal C.
The biggest factor is how many other flights are arriving at the same time as your flight, as issue which can affect immigration queues at Terminal C as well.
Also, it could well be that the queues for non-U.S. citizens are slower at Terminal B than Terminal C, but I just can't speak from experience as I am a U.S. citizen.
