Be prepared and pack your visa-savvy and a strong, confident attitude. SFO can be a bunch of bastards. I'm sure they are fine when you have the right information, but just make sure all ducks are in a row first.

My wife had no problems with the immigration folks at SFO. Maybe they took pity on her as she had a 2-year old in tow in addition to all her luggage.

Yes,

Every time I return from BKK to SFO they send me to a special deck for thorough interview: where did you go, how long, etc, etc, etc. I am always carrying my photos, applications, and other documents to support my story.
