To be honest, since I was born and raised in Germany, I have the right to get dual citizenship and also have German rights, but I've never thought I would need to, lol. But that's a whole different story and not worth the hassle just to be able to visit for a few weeks.
Hopefully after presenting the B1/B2 it will be a little better. Worst case, I will just do it from preclearance airports so that I can get it over with and not be questioned after an exhausting 20 hour flight
Excuse me, but how is ATH to MSP an exhausting twenty hour flight? AMS/CDG/LHR to MSP is about eight hours and ATH to these airports should only be about four hours. You don't need an eight hour connection at AMS/CDG/LHR and, in fact, it would be pretty ahrd to schedule flights with eight hours in these airports. The three airports I listed here are the only choices for nonstop flights from Europe on legacy carriers; if you connect in the USA, you wouldn't go through CBP at MSP.
