I came through JFK T8 in the last month, GE kiosk just scanned face and I turned the receipt to the booth officer, who just nodded me in.

In my last couple of entries I have arrived at completely empty arrival immigration halls, first out of the aircraft, and the immigration officers not even at their booths, still eating dinner etc, still unprepared for the arriving aircraft. I was done with GE and immigration in 30 seconds and with no verbal communication, lol...We are talking about spectacular clearance speeds...

I am also trying to do HBO during the pandemic, so I am going from international aircraft to outside of airport in 2-3 minutes...
