I am not able to find a field for the year or range of years of arrival when I am using immigration records. Please tell me where I can do this or please add it as a search field. Thank you.

You would need to use the Any - Life Event (which has fields for years)

Or use year filters if available on the Results (usually you can filter by a year range).

• "Use the Any event if you know a date and place for an event other than birth, marriage, death, or residence. For example, a search with an Any event can find dates of military enlistment or immigration."

If you would like specific help with a search - please include your search parameters.

Unfortunately, FS has (silently) taken away the collection-specific search fields.

For immigration records, I suggest Steve Morse's search pages, specifically the "Gold Form" for Ellis Island arrivals (https://stevemorse.org/ellis2/ellisgold.html).
