Missing flights has no direct relation to US citizenship.

Sorry too bloody frustrated! You go through one long queue and you think you’ve made it before they send you to another even longer queue!! I know we Brits love queuing but this is just too much.

likefunny

It does if they make you take the non-US bloody long queue

I trust you saw the queue signage: "Citizen" to the left and "Bloody" to the right.

funny

@pwc2 you are bloody right!

Then, OP you may have to word your question differently.
I’ll take a stab-
Is it faster to clear immigration at SFO if you are a Us citizen and get on a connecting flight?

Go ahead and post it. And see the responses you get. You are welcome :)

SFO is one of the worst airports for immigration. You have to keep at least 2 hour layover . If you are going to travel a lot to sf I suggest I u get global entry .

like

Get Global Entry and you will clear both immigration and customs much faster. You don’t have to be a US citizen to get it, as long as you’re a citizen of one of the eligible countries.

By contract is 1.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
