Immigrants arriving in the United States before 1892 did not have to go to Ellis Island, as the island opened as an immigration station that year. Additionally, those who were wealthy or had special connections often bypassed the processing at Ellis Island. Some immigrants were also admitted directly to other ports, such as those in San Francisco or New Orleans. Finally, certain groups, like diplomats and first-class passengers, could also avoid the standard immigration procedures at Ellis Island.
