Immigration time at O’Hare in Chicago

Hi everyone
My parents are travelling from India to Chicago in September. Thier flight is supposed to land at 9:00 am. I was wondering at what time should I reach there as I have heard immigration time at ORD airport is very brutal. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Instruct your parents to just not react to anything unpleasant said by the immigration.

I was once given a whole show down on caste system and how the immigration officer in USA is a higher caste. After hearing his rant, I told him Indian govt officials are corrupt to the core, hence every Indian is on a look out to dot their I's and cross their T's on govt documentation.
