Hey everyone sorry for my English.  I have a question i visited usa nov 2013 i had some issues and was sent to second screening where they asked me question for about 30m (they where worried about me not having enough money for the visit  ) before i was allowed in the states.I was supposed to stay for 3 months but due to a family related issue i left after 1 month. I sent some money to my mom to buy my flight back home (sweden) now my question is how do they know i left on time if my ticket was bought in Sweden?  I want to visit again next year but i worry about this  someone that knows how it works ? And i didnt save my departure ticket. I would appreciate some answers. I also wonder is it easier to visit the second time?
