Default seeking information about JFK airport in NYC

Hi I need to pick up a foreigner relative (non-English speaking,
first-time arrival in US)
at JFK, where I have not been for many years.
I assume that I can not get into the luggage pick-up area at
international arrival,
am I right ?
I want to know where I am supposed to meet her...
Any expert's here out there is appreciated !

Yes, you're right, international passengers must clear both
immigration and customs before you can meet them.

But more important, different airlines arrive at different terminals,
and if you are at the wrong terminal, you could be a mile away from
your friends. What airline are they flying?

You would meet her outside of the Customs/Immigration area.
However, the location depends on the airline.
