American immigration likes to give tough time to everyone crossing its borders. The Europeans are much better/nicer
I don't think they are paranoid, but definitely sometimes a little too strict. I am on the visa waiver, which means my country is not a big threat for the US and all I do is visit my girlfriend as a tourist. Nevertheless I get treated like I am about to do illegal stuff. If I wanted to immigrate, as a European citizen I would follow their simple steps to do so, but that's not what I want to do. I am just visiting until I finish university. I would prefer the legal way if I meant to become a US citizen and I would still be able to visit. Since there is no such intention, I am not filing paperwork for that. We don't want to get married at the moment and so I see no point in filing a fiance visa.
All I want is to be allowed to visit her 2-3 times a year like I did for the past 4 years. It's not easy just to have one party travel all the time. We both need to be able to visit each other when we need to
