For immigrants who ended up being approved, the process of passing through the system on Ellis Island took anywhere from 2 to 5 hours. Each person had to answer a list of 29 questions and declare how much money they had with them.

If you had no other problems during your visit to Ellis Island, the entire process should take 3 to 5 hours. Although, if you were suspected of having a mental/physical disease or disorder, you would be taken for further evaluation.

Why Ellis Island is important?

Ellis Island is important as people from round the world, their ancestors will have passed through there to get to America. That is what has made America so culturally diverse today. Millions of immigrants passed through Ellis Island. A fire on Ellis Island burnt down records of immigrants passing through, no copies were made of these so tracing ancestors can be a difficulty. (I visited the Ellis Island Museum but I still do not fully understand so don't take all my words! :P)
