I wud like to add a small incident that took place at boston immigration last year in October, so i was excited when we landed at boston and at the immigration when i was questioned if i had an itinerary i told the officer casually that i always wanted to study at MIT but dint get the oppurtunity so i finished my software studies in india and now i decided to see the place. So he asked me if i wanted to study now to which i said no and he even asked me why not to which i further said "its not possible sir". Before he handed over our passports he said i shud try.
Now i am guessing i wasnt subject to a secondary verification or anything so i wasnt flagged. I was worried for the next few weeks that all this wud be recorded and the american embassy in my country wud question me abt it the next time i applied or i might even be refused. But i left boston in two weeks also which meant i followed the rules.
Hope its not what i think it is as in hope i wasnt flagged
