Etihad: Pre-clearance to US at Abu Dhabi
score:6
U.S. Preclearance is in Terminal 3 at Abu Dhabi. There will be signs both landside and airside in arrival areas showing the way. Just follow the Flight Transfer signs. If you don't have your boarding pass, stop at the airline's transfer desk. If you need to transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3, the airport has provided a video showing how this is done.
The preclearance area is next to gates 58-61 at the far end of Terminal 3. Once you enter, you can pick up landing cards here to fill out. Your airline's check-in and transit desks may also be able to give you a landing card. The flight number you should write on it is the flight which lands at the first US airport on your itinerary, that is, the one you are about to board.
Once you arrive at preclearance and fill out the landing card, you queue to speak to immigration/customs. Here, you will present your documents and be asked some questions. You will also be asked to identify your checked baggage on a TV monitor.
You should plan to be speaking with US immigration no later than 60 minutes before departure.
You will also go through a security screening in the preclearance area, in addition to the security screening you go through if you changed terminals.
Once you arrive in the US, there are no further formalities; your plane arrives the same as a domestic flight, because you were admitted to the US back in Abu Dhabi. At JFK, you will simply pick up your baggage and go straight to ground transportation.
