Narrative:
On VOR 13L approach in jfk we might have gone below altitude at dmyhl due to wake turbulence encounter with proceeding aircraft. When I looked we might have been off altitude by about 150 ft to 200 ft. It was very close to dmyhl. We had a visual on the airport; and did not get a visual on aircraft ahead until about 1 NM before dmyhl. I was pilot not flying during the flight.
