    Hello guys, I'm from Asia,,I just wanna share my expercience when I arrived at San Francisco airport last year (15th of September, I came with Fiance Visa). finally after two hours waiting standing in the long line I was facing the Costom offecer, I gave my Passport first and after he looked my Passport he asked me "Do you have a pocket" I was nervous and I don't understand why he wants to see my Pocket lol,,I think he know that I don't Understand and he asked me again "did you bring the paper works" ( the sealed envelop with the whole bunch of papers inside) and he asked me how much money I had too..By the way to Teacher Christina thank you so much for your video it's very helpful, I am having hard time to communicate to American people so far,,but My Husband never tired to help me with that..I just watched your Video couples days ago,,it's really help a lot for me..

    I went through border control and I was sure it would take long, this one was fast, all took about 20 mins. Apart from these questions I was asked about my job, "what do you do". It was all easy.

    I have been to LA long years ago, and that was before 911. So, going thru the airport control was very easy, I was terrible in Englsh though. So, I'm not sure it's that easy like when I went there. Maybe, it would be harder these days. Luckily, I have no plan to go to the US. Instead, I visited Czech for attending a seminar, my English became better than before, but I got in trouble for a while in Frankfrurt airport control. I paid the price about overlooking. Fortunately, I got by from the thing, and I got a lesson. "We need to prepare enough. We only can handle the things less than half of what we prepared,"

    When I went to the doctor last time, I tell her about all my health problems including gynecological ones. She told me that I should take an appointment with a specialist which meant that I had to wait for this new appointment, took public transports in conditions that are not so pleasant. I told her that is was an urgency. As these could be simpler but by making all these, it adds to my tiredness.

    A common question is "how much money do you have". They want to be sure you have enough money to cover for your expense.
    They also ask for the blue form for customs that has to be filled in the plane. Immigration has to stamp it.

    Yesterday, I went to see a doctor who replaces others when they are not in. I told him about my health situation and asked him what I should do so that I get healthy and who can I see as a regular doctor as my former one does not want to see me anymore (I have asked for a written answer to know exactly why he does not want to care about me anymore, so that I can remember).
    It seems that doctors around do not take new patients. Under these conditions, I am asking how do new people coming to this town would do ? There are a lot of buildings which have been built lately in the town very quickly and I guess some of them are dedicated to people not only to companies. Should these people go very far just for an appointment ?

    They also ask you if you are travelling alone or if the other person you're travelling with is your brother or your husband or whatever. What can I say when I am travelling with my boyfriend? I said: We are a couple. We live together. Is it better to say "domestic relationship"? Because I think thats what the officer asked me. :)
