It usually takes a while, especially at the beginning. Generally 1 to 2 hours from what I remember. And yes same thing happened to me so I'm gonna go really early, maybe tomorrow?

People were lining up an hour before it started. Some people were there since 7. There were major delays today, by 1/2 an hour. It was expected to be 1 hour though - we just got lucky.
The best thing I'd recommend is making sure you have all your ID and being prepared to miss some stuff.
The line is massive unfortunately but there's nothing that can be done about it. If everybody comes in earlier, the same thing would happen. The process goes by very quickly once it begins. You can expect to be done within 15 minutes.

i went during my two hour break thinking that i would be done in an hour but no.i was there for two hours and a half. i missed my environmental science class. everytime u thought the line ended u turned another corner. by the time i finished things had cooled down a bit though. it really depends on what time u go. i went at 11:30 and finished at 2:00. at around 2 it wasnt that bad.

btw, does any1 know where ITB is?

I joined the line at 8:15 this morning, and by stroke of luck they started a bit early so I got through and finished at 9.
