Default plain ticket

hey everyone,

It is me again with a question ! I am triying to plan things in advance ...

I found that airplain tickets are much cheaper one way only (at least at my travel agent) and I was wondering if anybody knows first hand if you can show up in the US with a K1 visa and a one way only ticket... or you need a round trip.

regards,
groovy

Since you are entering the US for the purpose of marriage, the INS doesn't care if your AIRPLANE ticket is one way or round trip, first class, business class or coach. The airline might voice a complaint or two

If you are entering on a K-1 visa, they would probably even expect you to have a one-way ticket...although I doubt they'd be checking

I flew with Northwest Airlines in May , they asked to see my visa before i
could book a 1 way ticket but othewise no problems ..... oh and btw ...

my fav American Airlines from now on.

Thank you rete and juliet for your answers. I just try to get as much info as I can before I do something I am not supposed to but I guess a K1 is exactly the kind of visa that is asking for a one way ticket only

any other experience ?

groovy

Buy cheap. Depending on where you find the best price, a round trip can actually be cheaper than a one way. Then, the unused return ticket can be successfully used to lay a guilt trip..."I coulda gone back". Hehe.

If the RT ticket is cheaper than OW ( with those crazy airline rules ! ) then the marriage is not so fishy! They are already trying to save money together!
