Need Advice On Ferrying Foreign Registered Homebuilt To USA

I am interested in flying a homebuilt aeroplane from Greece to the USA and
have it registered to an N number. Does anyone here have any knowledge of
how hard or easy it is to do this? I have concerns like flying it from
country to country in Europe, flying it to Iceland, then Canada, then the
USA, and finally I have question of what to expect once I get it here. What
pitfalls will a DAR place in front of me if I fly a homebuilt here and ask
him to register it and give it an N number. Will he make it difficult,
knowing that I am stuck depending on what he does, or will he evaluate it
fairly and sign off on it. Has anyone done something like this?

Thank you so much.

The major pitfall is that a DAR does not register aircraft nor issue N numbers.
You need to do this seperately (and before the DAR comes).

The real question is will he give you the experimental
airworthiness certificate.

As for that, I expect it is the same for trying to bring any aircraft you didn't build
yourself through certification. First you have to convince him that it meets the
requirements for the experimental--amateur built certificate: that it is constructed
primarily for recreation or education. Then he has to believe that it meets acceptable
construction and design practices.
