The short answer is "Yes" you can and it should be no more a problem now (that you have an I-129F pending) as before.

Some useful (and fairly up to date) info can be found here

My fiancee has a tourist visa and I filed for her to come visit me for a few months. We filed in December 09, and she just arrived 2weeks ago from DR. I read the same page you did "on what documents to bring linking her back to her home country". When she arrived at U.S. Customs she didn't have to use anything. They just asked her why she was visiting and whom she was visiting thats it. She had no problems. Good Luck. I was nervous as hell but she got in.

K1 Visa Process -> 12/09-06/10 Married -> 09/10/10 AOS Process -> 09/10-12/10 Removal of Conditions-> 09/12-07/13

U.S. Naturalization -> 7/8/20

thank you, i hope there is no problem, i try to go and visit my honey every month, so i guess i am not going to have that much problem... He is from PA too... What a coincidence!

Last time i visited him, they always ask me whom am i visitng and i say, my BF, they ask me why i didnt have a BF from my Country? it was funny, thats something, i think, that has no answer, but i I just couldnt help it and say: Well, the guys from my Country dump me after three months, this one has two years and stil counting... I couldnt help it, just is a funny question, i really dont know why i am with an USA citizen, and really dont care from where he is, he is great for me, and i love him... Guess thats my reason. lol...

Just some experiences like this would be fun to read... and help me to be prepare with the questioning...

That's crazy! Asking you how come you don't have a boyfriend in your own country is irrelevant and subjective. When going through Customs you really don't want to expect. You have to just feel out whose's the most friendliest agent and get in that line (if you can). If you have family here in the U.S just tell them that you are visiting family and friends. My SO has family here too and she's visits them while she's here. So they can't question that. Again, good luck and keep me updated. Nice talking with you.

I dont have close family in the USA... One of my friends told me a few months ago to lie about the visit, and say i am going on training, but between you and me, I prefer to say the true... i got also an agent that told me, before i got engaged, that if my SO dont ask me to marry, he will, lol...

Ive being in the small room of the back twice, and honestly when is a latino in migration they can be more difficult and suspicious, i understand, they get rough time if they are not... The first time I got nervius but the second i just ask if i was going to be send there every time i travel...

I have alot of stories about migration, sometimes they just are so nice, but some not... is just to be honest, thats what i do...

You should never lie to Customs. You don't want to be denied future entry into the U.S. Just prepare yourself to be questioned and be natural. There is nothing to worry about if you are telling the truth. I know some people have a hard time be questioned and it can be uneasy. You just have to remain strong and show them you're telling the truth.
