Crossing into the US at Otay Mesa – Passenger

Wait times are pulled directly from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection feed and refresh every few minutes. Standard lanes carry the bulk of Mexico-bound travelers; trusted-traveler lanes (NEXUS, SENTRI, Ready) typically clear in a fraction of the time when you have the right document. Plan around early-morning and late-afternoon peaks for the smoothest crossing.
