Re: Return flight ticket requirements
As long as you have evidence of onward travel (itineries etc) you'll be fine.
But be prepared for some 'special' treatment at security. TSO get very nervous of people on one way tickets (or with Scottish accents apparently)

They even walked me over to the ticket counter to watch me buy a return ticket.. they were not happy about it at all. I thought it was rather amusing. Apparently they get fined $3000 dollars for everyone who gets to american customs without a return ticket or correct visa.

Re: Return flight ticket requirements
my funniest immigration experience was back in the day when the guy inspected my wallet for cash and credit cards and was a little alarmed at how little money i had for a supposed 3 month stay... i just said "i'm a student..what do you expect?" he laughed and waved me through..
