EK201's arrival time does not lend itself for a quick walk through immigration. Even if it arrives on time, other flights may be delayed which can cause the arrivals hall to get full quickly. Besides its quite a walk to immigration so you may find several folks from Y make it before J & F. There are self service kiosks so the process is definitely faster than before. I mainly use EK203 nowadays which is typically the only flight arriving at that hour and have made it out of the a/c door, collected my bags, and through customs in 20 minutes flat.

There is QuickConnect but that is only if you have an onward connection.
