Hi,

Just want to provide an update.

Thank you for all your help. Flight attendant helped my father fill out the CBP form. I typed a letter for my father. He showed it to the officer at JFK airport. That officer did not ask him even one question. They took his immigrant package and he was good to go. It took less than 10 minutes. My father told me the people before him spent much longer time with the officer. So I believed my letter definitely was a big deal.

My dad arrived at JFK in the morning of Oct 8 (Saturday). We did not go to social security office. And yesterday 10/19, his social security card arrived in the mail! That was super fast!

Hey can you please tell me how long it took your father to go through customs at JFK. That's going to be our POE next week and I fear we will miss our connecting flight.

Thanks

Edit* from the time he landed to when he made it through please
