Ellis Island Immigration Museum Pictures
By Heather Cross, About.com Guide
It is difficult to imagine this room as it once was -- lined with rows of chairs filled with immigrants waiting for inspections. Processing on Ellis Island could take 3-7 hours, depending on the crowds and circumstances. Sometimes immigrants were required to stay on Ellis Island overnight if medical or legal matters needed resolution.
