I think that the far right booth is for people who live on the island and are returning home. Yes? That is how is has been in the past. If not in use, they will sometimes ask others in line to come to that booth.

Hello Everyone,
In 2019 when we arrived the immigration line must have had 500+ people. We walked to the right (walking past the 500) to the far right immigration booth (with 10 people) with no problems. Question, we are arriving on Saturday 1/22, I assume this plan will work again? Immigration lines are always anyone’s guess. If you are the only flight arriving at a given time you can sail through but any time after noon, and particularly on a Saturday, there will most likely be long lines there. What you really hope to avoid is arrival right after Air France or KLM. This happened to us once since hurricane Irma and it was chaotic. The extreme right lane is marked for residents only but I agree, if not busy they may let you go through it as well as those wheelchair bound passengers needing assistance. But then again, we’ve seen them turn non-residents around and shoo them back to the regular lines. The end of those lines.
Respectfully,
pat

Arrived yesterday, delayed out of PHL. Arrive about 6pm after Air France, it was bad but with that said only hour total. TriA was there waiting super car service, so glad they are a sponsor.

Yes, the far right lane was always for residents. I have often seen non-residents try to use that line and get turned away. I have never personally had the 'nads to try to use that lane, unless invited by the agent.
