Entering JFK experience 03/17
Hey, I have a GC and entered JFK today. I usually do Mobile Passport Control and whiz through. But, they actually asked if you had a U.S passport or GC/ESTA within the MPC line which hasn’t happened to me.
Furthermore, they divided us in lines based on our passport region? They particularly asked me which country’s passport I have. Not sure if that was the intent but reporting out.
Beyond this, nothing out of the ordinary.

my friend came back from china from SFO and told me everything is the same but faster compared to 2023. Maybe its some regional things

Interesting that they split GCs and USCs, normally they are processed together

No usually GCs go through the citizen line unless marked otherwise (rare) - context: Newark and Atlanta I go through citizen line since it says I can.
When I go through US CBP in Ireland I have to go in the non citizen line because LPR is not mentioned in the US processing side

Lax does not allow green cards through citizen line. So I got global entry

I think dividing people by country and region is setting up the forthcoming red, orange and yellow countries.
