Never been asked to show electronics. Never been to a special room. Most of the time they ask one or two questions, take my fingerprints, and welcome me to the country.

Now that my passport has a US address in it, even though I'm technically not a resident, they politely say "Welcome Back".

Last time I entered was on Monday. The lady was extremely polite, even smalltalked a bit while the computer was giving her trouble because my visa is in an old passport and my new passport is 7 days old. Guess she had to sync up the system.

Time from entering the queue to being in the country was 24 minutes. I ran a stopwatch.

That said, my visa process did involve checking my social accounts and internet activity because I explicitly listed it as an argument for why I qualify for an O-1.

Anecdata, I know. But that's my experience. I'm white and from eastern-ish europe.
