Hi!

my fiance is buying his plane ticket to come to the US but the travel agency is telling him he has to buy a round trip ticket. at this point round trip tickets are a lot more expensive than a one way ticket. I am assuming the airline will not know what a K-1 visa is and I am afraid they wont let him get on the plane because he does not have a round trip ticket. Has anyone had a recent experience traveling with a K1 visa and a one way ticket?

Thanks in advance for the help

If she is coming here as a resident and intends to live here then I would skip the travel agent, find another one, or buy the ticket directly from the airline. What the travel agent is suggesting is very suspicious.

Congratulations and I wish you the best.

K-1 visa holder doesn't need to have a round trip ticket. Look for another travel agent who has right knowledge. Good luck to his arrival in the states.

No...it's not suspicious...It's quite normal. The airline does know what a K-1 visa is, and so does the travel agent. They understand that it is a non-immigrant visa, so they try to get you to purchase a round trip ticket. This is normal. Find another agent and explain to them that even though it is a non-immigrant visa that you will not require a round trip ticket.

I am just going to quit posting anything on here lol. Every time I try I end up making a fool of myself. Thanks for the heads up and sorry to waste your time.

No such thing as a foolish question....a question not asked is foolish.

There are lots of threads on the forum about one-way tickets and visa travel, including this one:

Whichever ticket is cheaper. Travel agents don't dictate the laws that regulate visas. K-1 is intended for one-time entry leading to marriage and US residency. If they don't know it, it isn't your problem.
