See, people always say that, but everytime Ive visited so far it went "whats the purpose of your stay" - "visiting my boyfriend" - "whats his name, where does he work?" - I answered - "is he picking you up" - "yes sir" - "ok, have a nice stay" ... I always fly through MSP, so maybe they're really laid back there?

 

You were just lucky.  I and many others here on VJ recommend bringing proof of strong ties to home country as preparation for the worst case scenario.  You never know when you'll meet a strict CBP officer.  Better to have the proof and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

 

I visited the US multiple times and always through the same POE (SFO).  Most of the time I also breezed through immigration.  But one time, I was taken to secondary inspection.  I'm sure the trigger for it was when I declared my purpose of travel as "visiting my boyfriend".  On another trip, I witnessed a traveler ahead of me on the immigration line being asked for employment documents from their home country.

Oh absolutely! But you dont want to risk you get unlucky and the officer is having a bad day! Ive never had to show anything but it doesnt hurt to have it just in case.

I see .. I was confused, because I thought it meant consular processing (or whatever its called), which Prague used to do, but not anymore. So the item 62 is simply the city where I will most likely be interviewd at (Prague, in my case), right? And thank you

Unless you move to another country, Prague WILL be where you interview.  100% likely.  Embassies and Consulates seldom change cities.
