Yeah, when I entered on June 14 at 5pm it was in total meltdown mode, at least 90 minute wait but possible 3 hours, I have no idea, it was tripled up and hundreds and hundreds of feet long before even entering the customs hall. 80 wheelchairs in the wheelchair line.
Was worth all the GE hassle and fee just for that one entry.

Hello - Question about possible trip:
(All flights on single PNR).
Arrive ORD by UA Domestic mainline; Conneting time 3 hours.
Depart to ZRH with Swiss Air.
In this case, do we have to exit the UA terminal, take the train and re-clear security in the international Terminal (T5?)?
It seems that the inter-terminal airside transfer bus is not operating at this moment.

Last week it was 75 minutes at 1:15pm. That got you through Immigration, but then they bottlenecked everyone into a single-file line to approach the single Customs desk that was open (though 5 other agents were standing around). It was an embarrassing introduction to ORD and I'm sure dozens of people--likely many non-US nationals who were not eligible for GE--missed connecting flights.
