Hi I´m going to El Paso in two days by car. I´m in Chihuahua so it takes me like 3 hours and a half to go, what recomendation can you tell me for the U.S border for a non citizen. Some questions that I have are:

1. How much it takes me to pass

2. At what hour it start to get the line big

If you have any other tip please tell it to me. It´s urgent. Thanks for advance.

Sometimes the lines to cross have taken me up to 2-3 hours!! It's just because the lines are so long and the lengthy checks at the crossing.

There's really not much of a change in the line crossing, but perhaps earlier after the morning work rush? There'd probably be only a small window then; time might reduce to under an hour. The rest of the day/evening - expect to wait.

Good luck!
