As of right now, you're looking at about 0 minutes in the regular line and 0 minutes if you have PreCheck. That said, lines move fast here — it can change a lot depending on time of day. The early morning rush (5-7 AM) and late afternoon wave (4-6 PM) tend to be the worst.
Yes. You can keep your shoes, belt, and jacket on, and leave your laptop in your bag. In practice, PreCheck saves about 5-10 minutes at Newark — sometimes more during peak hours.
CBP tracks immigration wait times across 2 terminals at Newark. If you're a US citizen, expect a shorter line; non-US citizens typically wait longer. Global Entry members can skip the line entirely and use the automated kiosks. One thing to know: CBP data runs about 2-3 days behind, so the numbers here are based on recent patterns rather than a live feed.
