Hello Steve.  
 
To my surprise,  I found that the year of immigration regarding John Lind, is the very same in the U.S census 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930. Normally, it's more common that it differentiates with a couple of years. This means that we can be pretty sure of the year of immigration.  
 
However, I believe John possibly changed his name just before his emigration from Sweden or just after arriving to the states. This information is taken from his death certificate (Familysearch.org);
 
Name:    John Lind
Titles and Terms (original):    
Death Date:    19 Sep 1932
Death Place:    Chicago, Cook, Illinois
Gender:    Male
Marital Status:    
Race or Color:    
Age:    
Estimated Birth Year:    
Birth Date:    
Birthplace:    
Father:    Peter Johnson
Father's Titles and Terms (original):    
Father's Birth Place:    
Mother:    Carrie
Mother's Titles and Terms (original):    
Mother's Birth Place:    
Occupation:    
Residence:    
Street Address:    
Spouse:    Mathilda
 
So, his father's name was presumably Per/Peter/Petter Jonsson/Johansson/Johannesson. The mother's name Carrie could be Karin/Kerstin/Karoline/Karolina.
