Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

Notes -
Probably wouldn't be as bad as you think. They have heard much weirder stories, and yours, while a bit unusual, is easily verifiable and documented, and if it doesn't look like you are intending to become an illegal immigrant they won't spend too much time on you. They have a lot of cases to go through. One thing that could help is getting some kind of officially looking document (the more official looking, the better) that says in clear and official language what is it about and that it's just for a month and you are not going to work in the US, it's just educational or whatever. Talking to somebody that knows how it actually works - e.g. immigration lawyer - may be a good idea too. You may to have to pay a little (it shouldn't cost much, it's not a complicated case) but they probably would tell you which stupid things not to do. Usually problems in this area come from people doing some stupid thing (e.g. telling the immigration officer they'll be working while on tourist visa or something like that).
Thank you. I guess I'll stick to the facts, and put my plans to join a Zizekian commune somewhere where the sun doesn't shine.
