[reneenumbertwo 35]

My fiance will enter through JFK later this week.  I can't believe we will soon be in the same place.  It is surreal.  Any advice for what he should expect at JFK airport?  Thank you in advance.

Long lines?  😂   Is JFK the final destination, or will your fiance be changing planes?  It has been awhile since I've been through JFK, but I recall that it was very busy and seemed chaotic on an incoming flight from Europe.   As long as you have adequate time before the next flight, it should be fine.  

 

Really, congratulations!  I know that feeling.

I hope all is ok, I remember when I moved to Dallas from Mexico last August, The officer at Dallas airport only asked me for my Fiance folder , the wedding date and if I had gifts or food and that was all 

 

the best and congratulation for for your wedding

JFK is very busy, so expect long waiting times. As @Jorgedig already asked, is this her final destination? If no, make sure you have a long layover planned. Other than that, be patient. I went through JFK a few times and it was a pain in my butt since I had a connection flight to catch but had to go through customs first and recheck my luggage. Very normal since it's your first stop on American soil.

You should expect secondary processing at JFK

Long lines probably.
