how did you manage to secure a travel visa with your F2A pending?

No visa, I am a Finnish citizen and I used the Visa Waiver Program. Going through immigration at Logan airport on Friday was a little scary though: I told the officer upfront that I was visiting my husband, and once he learnt that we have a pending petition, he started telling me over and over again that I should not come back, and that if I tried, I'd be sent right back. For a moment I thought he'd send me to secondary inspection, but no, he just took my fingerprints and photo as usual, without even asking to see my return ticket or any of the documents I had brought with me proving that I do have strong ties to Germany (where I live at the moment) and am going back after my vacation, and let me through.

I am glad he let me in without further hassle, but I am probably not coming back before I have the visa. I hadn't planned to come anyway since we want to travel in Europe this winter/next spring, but this latest experience at the border really doesn't encourage me to try again.
