I also went through Mobile Passport but was having trouble getting a signal on my phone to get through to the mobile line. Had a very nice immigration office that told me where to stand to get the signal. Mobile line was also crowded but moved quickly. This was on a Saturday evening around 6:30 pm.

Trouble is not all airports participate. We return through Charlotte this year and I don't see them on the list of currently participating airports
