First-class passengers arriving at Ellis Island were allowed to forego inspection due to the belief that they posed a lower risk of carrying diseases and were less likely to be a burden on public resources. They typically had the financial means to support themselves and were perceived as more desirable immigrants. This policy reflected the social hierarchies and attitudes of the time, which favored wealthier individuals over poorer ones in the Immigration process.
Most First and Second Class passengers who got off the ships at Ellis Island were allowed through without inspection because of a society issue. These passengers were deemed fit for citizenship just because they could afford to pay the higher fees for crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Only steerage passengers were required to pass through Ellis Island because they were typically immigrants traveling in the cheapest accommodations and were more likely to be unvetted. First-class and cabin-class passengers, who could afford better accommodations, were often considered less of a risk for health issues or legal concerns, and thus underwent less scrutiny. This distinction allowed for a more efficient processing system, focusing resources on those deemed more likely to require inspection. Additionally, many wealthy passengers had already been pre-screened before boarding their ships.
The documents needed were a passenger claim ticket, an inspection card (needed by third-class only), a visa, a contract, and a ticket. There were some inspections but most of the health checks were on Ellis Island.

Ellis and Angel Islands were Immigration Inspection Stations. All passengers arriving by boat (except First Class Passengers and US Citizens) were inspected there to be sure they were free of communicable diseases, they had a minimum amount of money and were employable or were traveling with an employable person, were not traveling on a ticket paid for by an employer in America, and were not likely to become involved in immoral activities, etc. This was before immigration visas were required, so anyone with a ticket could get on a boat and come to America.
