USC whose SO has travelled to the US under the above circumstances, or beneficiaries who have done so, please advise.

This saturday I am flying to NYC to meet with my fiance, using my open tourist visa. My last trip on this visa was in Feb'07 and I-129f was submitted shortly afterwards. What would you say are my chances of being bounced at the POE and would it really help if I carry some kind of letter from my employer that I'm expected back at work on such-and-such date etc? What other proof could I provide (no kids, rented appt, no other property except a car in Moscow)? Kinda scared of the risk of having to fly straight back to Moscow after 9 hours in the air (ouch!)

Anyone ever obtained such a letter, how should it be worded to convince the passport control people?

Thanks a bunch

I've read that, but I was hoping to get some response from those who have actually done so - and the wording of the employer letter if possible. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure the wording of this letter is all that important because it is first and foremost YOU that must be convincing to the CBP officer. The officer looks at many things in making there decision and this letter might be one item, but will not be the only thing that they base there decision upon. The will look at how you present yourself, how you answer questions they may ask, how many times you have entered before, how long were your previous stays, how has your situation changed, etc.....

YMMV
