The Border Immigration Office is south of the Waiting in Line. "The immigration officer will review the arrival documents and determine whether or not you are eligible to cross the border... step north to wait in line"

The Line is south of the Immigration Desk.  "[if the Line is unvisited] You are fourth in line... This might take a while... You could try cutting the line by heading north? [end if]"

The Immigration Desk is a room. "[if the Immigration Desk is unvisited] Wow. That worked! The lady behind you looks mad. But you are standing face to face with the Immigration Officer who looks even more mad-- unrelated to the whole cutting in line thing. [end if]"
