Point of Entry- San Francisco

[noway123456 1]

Hi everyone,

Today my fiance and I got down to SFO. We both filled out 2 different customs forms, but when we got to the front of the Non-Citizen (even though I am a citizen,) line the officer threw his form out and used mine for both. He looked at our passports and took my fiance's fingerprints and photo of his eye. He asked a couple of questions like how do you know each other, when are you getting married, etc. Overall he was really nice. Then he sent us to a back room for secondary reasons (to give the yellow packet he recieved from the embassy.) When we entered there were about 25 people waiting in the room. We dropped off the packet and both of our passports at the front. After about waiting for 30 minutes, my fiance was called over by a really nice officer to ask him a few questions. He asked me to wait in the waiting room. After about 10 minutes my fiance came back with both of our passports. He was asked things like where have you lived, you know you have 90 days to get married, etc. His was stamped on his visa and was written that he can stay until September 21, 2014. None of the papers in the yellow packet were given back. Then at the baggage area the officer there once again asked us when we were getting married, what we did for a living, etc. He also checked our bags. Finally, we were able to exit(:

Now my questions are:

1) Is everyone sent into the secondary room, or were we sent in for random reasons (fishiness, country of origin, random security check, etc.?)

2)We were not given any of his documents from the sealed embassy envelope or any new documents stating that he has entered. We only recieved his passport with the stamp. I am really nervous about this. Is this normal?

3) Now that he is here, WHAT ARE MY NEXT STEPS so he can become a permanent resident. Can someone please send me a link.

I think they do that for everybody when they get here for the first time. When I came here in 2004 the did exactly the same with my mom my brother and me. At the secondary room they asked us who was the sponsor(my father) and asked us about the address to where we wanted our green card to arrived. As I can remember they didn't give us anything from the develop just our passport with the stamp.
