New York airport entry procedures, the more detailed the better!

The first step is to fill in the I94 form and customs form on the plane.

Step two, when the plane arrives, follow everyone to the immigration hall (there is only one way, it is impossible not to follow).

In the immigration hall, there are two teams. One team belongs to American citizens and green card holders. Team one belongs to foreigners.

After the immigration officials release the luggage, the third step is to go to the baggage carousel to pick up the luggage. Usually, before getting off the plane, you will be informed which turntable the luggage of this flight is on.

Step four, everyone pushes their luggage through the customs.

As for the translation of signs, I don't think it is necessary. I don't know English, so people can help you even by gesturing and bringing my ticket and passport. If you think it is necessary, buy a "quick translation" or something with you.
