Answer 1

During the early 1900s, most immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island were typically *released within hours*, assuming they passed the necessary inspections and health checks. While some immigrants may have been detained for longer periods if there were issues with their documentation or health, the majority were allowed to enter the United States relatively quickly.
