Round trip ticket for arrival to US?

[Dana and Divine 61]

Great information, I also needed this. One way from brazil to New York is around 1100 USD and round trip 700 USD. Booking flight as soon as we get a Interview date =D :thumbs:

What airline are you booking with? I haven't found any tickets this cheap, even round trip. Please share!

All of the airlines offer cheaper rates in September to brazil , I use brazilianexpress.com

make sure you cancel the ticket just for the piece of mind... also I've heard of some airlines charging a fee for not showing up (!) since they couldn't resell the seat. Not sure which airline (could be one of the European ones) but it did happen

No worries my dear! I'm an airline employee and I travel international ALL the time. They normally ask the purpose of your trip and how long you were abroad. When she replies "I'm getting married" that should be the end of Q&A. Tickets and reservations are "above their pay grade" lol!! :-) Congratulations to you and your bride!

I'm just worried that someone at customs, either in Colombia or in the US is going to ask her why she has a round trip ticket when she is flying to the USA to get married on a Fiancee visa. Now I'm worried that this is going to cause a problem, because it specifically says in the K-1 guidelines that you cannot leave the USA for 8 months after being married. I reminded my fiancee of this, and now she's stressed about it too and wondering if she should cancel the return flight (the return flight i told her NOT to get in the first place!) But then if she DOES cancel the return flight, is she going to have to pay some huge exit tax fee that I'm unaware of? Ugh. It seems like she keeps getting advice from people in Colombia and it's the wrong advice. Or maybe I'm the one who is confused here. Can someone give me some advice on all this?

Bottom line is if she has a round trip ticket will this cause her problems at customs at either exit or entry?

Where specifically does it say this?

You can leave whenever you like, it's returning that may be a problem.

You MUST remain in the US until you have filed AOS (which you do after you are legally married in the US) and have either received AP (advanced parole) or the GC. If you leave before you have either of those documents you abandon the AOS process and must apply for another visa to return.

Single or return ticket makes no difference, no problem, no need to cancel, your choice entirely.

Just be sure to cancel the return leg as there have been horror stories where the airline said the immigrant left the country on the return leg and they then had to prove that they did not leave. Trying to prove a negative is very hard as no documentation exists. So take the two or three minutes to cancel teh return leg and keep the confirmation number until the AOS is approved. That is what we did.

Good lcuk,

Dave

When my husband bought my air ticket, he bought a round trip ticket, I don't remember exactly why he couldn't bought just one way, but I think that the system didn't permit it, because in that moment when he bought ticket I didn't have the visa aproved. hehehehe!

I didn't use that ticket.
