Arrival

After the 10 hours of waiting time it was finally time to take the plane that was headed towards America!
Unfortunately,the flight itself was a 9 hours long :/  and around this point of the journey everyone was dreading to get back on the plane,but i guess the thought of reaching the US was all the drive we needed to get ourselves there.
So we finally went over to Taco bell at the airport to have our dinner before boarding the plane.It was my first time ever having taco bell,and honestly i was not really that impressed.

The plane ride was shit.Sitting at one spot for hours to come is never a good thing.Especially when youre tired of watching movies and listening to music and want to catch up on sleep but the seats are so bad its just really hard to have any kind of sleep in the first place,

So fast forwarding to when we landed.We were all so excited.
Everyone was all planning and telling each other what we wanted to do and how we were gonna settle in and stuff.Dragging our bags to the customs where we had to wait for a very ling line that runs through some booths with officers inspecting your passports and visas before letting us through to the baggage claims.

Heres where it went all to shit.

I was the last one among my friends,so i got to see them all one by one get cleared by customs.every inch i got closer i was getting more and more excited.
Finally my turn came,
the officers were really nice and calm,getting my passport and f1 visas and clicking away their computers to do their stuffs occasionally asking me casual questions.
Suddenly,the officer told me that i may have to move to another booth because his computer wasnt really working when it came to putting in my name.At first i was confused and thought maybe its just a glitch or a fault in the computer,so i let it pass.Going over to the other booth and having another officer tend to me as i just stood there with my bag and laptop in hand and also tired from 25 hours of Time that went by.

The officer then said that her system was ALSO not working.and that she might have to send me to a room to get my passport verified and said "it might be cause of your name"
Here i thought that maybe it was a really fast check.I looked over my friends who already started giving me concerned looks to go on without me to collect their bags,and they nodded and went off first.

The officer brought me to this room where a bunch of people were waiting while there was a counter and another officer just clicking away on his computer doing something.
At this point i was getting worried.I noticed the signs that said no use of Phones.
and after analysing the situation i noticed that the officers were going through the passports in order.
THERE WERE TOO MANY PASSPORTS TILL THEY GET TO MINE.
I started getting paranoid,because i wasnt able to contact my friends and i was afraid that we were gonna miss our scheduled transport that was gonna bring us to our Apartments.

An HOUR later,a officer came out of one of the rooms and called out my name.i came up to him and was so relieved to that i thanked him,took my passport and got out of there as fast as i could.
