Return ticket needed for entry on IR1/CR1 visa?

[beachgod 0]

Hi guys,

i was wondering if you have to have a return ticket when entering the USA on a IR1 visa?

I am asking 'cos pdx-ams-pdx is $300 cheaper than ams-pdx-ams.

Thanks.

You don't have to, but if you are thinking about using 2nd leg of your pdx-ams-pdx flight only, keep in mind that if you do not show up on pdx-ams flight, your ticket will be cancelled (assume you want to travel ams-pdx).

Buy whichever is cheaper or the best itinerary but yes, you must use the first leg of any round trip ticket.
