Spoilers ahead
Diego (a Venezuelan urbanist) and Elena (a Barcelona dancer) fly to the United States together, as she has won a Green Card Lottery visa and they are a pareja de hecho or common-law couple. Both are nervously excited to start their new life together.
Arriving at Newark Airport passport control, Diego misplaced the I-9 Declaration form, and Elena fills out another. Watching the available agents, one appears to let people through more quickly, and Diego is pleased they get him.
However, after scanning their passports, the agent fingerprints them and takes their photos before escorting them to a secondary inspection area. Both are concerned, but when they mention their connecting flight to Miami, it does not speed up the process.
