Coming to States after he's in the system..

I know this has been discussed a million times over here, but just
getting all nervous and wanted to talk to someone about it. We are
planning on my guy coming over to visit the US in about 2 weeks time.
I just received the notice that the petition has been approved. I'm
just scared too death he's going to be denied entry. If it was
possible, I'd just go visit him but its not an option right now. You
would think since we're trying to get everything taken care of legally
before he comes over, that would look better, but who knows. He lives
with his parents, so no house payment, just rent to them.. no car to
leave at the airport.. he's got a job but he doesn't have big important
meetings he must attend, he's more an office manager. Anything else he
can do to help his chances on staying? What about not carrying lots of
cash? Not packing too heavy? A letter from his employer saying he's
still employed? This visit is not any different than others, he comes
over about every 6 months, his visits are only a few weeks at a time (2
weeks this time) Anyone have any new advice? I also want to say that
I'm so glad I've found this site, it's really helped being able to talk
to people about any problems or questions I have. Thank you guys so
much!!

A letter from his employer would probably be helpful, along with any
other proof he can bring showing ties to his home country, and that he
does not intend to immigrate on this trip. When it comes right down to
it, it's all up to the POE officer to make the decision to allow him in
for a visit or not. If he gets turned away, then hopefully it won't be
too much longer before his visa is ready for him to actually make the
move over.

Best Wishes,
