one way ticket after visa approved?

[atlantakid123 0]

Hello,

My wife is the beneficiary and I am the US citizen. She will be coming here on IR1/CR1 visa. After the interview, once the visa is approved, can she buy a one way ticket and come here, or does she has to buy a return ticket? Someone told me, that unless you have a greencard or are an US citizen, you have to buy a return ticket?

Please guide.

Thanks!

Correct. If she is coming on a IR/CR visa she can buy a one-way ticket to the US, unless a RT ticket is cheaper that a OW in which case she can buy a RT and not use the return portion!

Good luck!

The whole purpose of your visa is to stay in the US, so buy whatever is the cheapest/easy!!!

My husband came one way through Delta and their prices were very reasonable. Don't listen to everything you hear. Good luck!!

She is an immigrant, so she can buy One-Way ticket.
