Hello every one my fiancée just recently had her interview in Thailand and was approved. She works as an English teacher and before coming to the US she would like to return home to visit her family before coming to the US. I plane on meeting her in the Philippines her home country then we travel back to the US. Does anyone know if there would be an issue with immigration’s for her leaving Thailand where visa was issued to go to Philippines before going to US? I know it is an issue if here in us and leave without having applying for AP. also anyone have issue with airlines for buying one way tickets as have been told need to get round trip?

Thank you for your advice

:)

Your fiancee's visa will remain active until it is used in America or expires so you should not have a problem with that. The only issue I can forsee is that once your fiancee is in The Philippines she will need to attend the CFO seminar before Philippines immigration will let her leave if she has the K-1 visa in her passport.

A one way ticket is no problem as the intent with a K-1 visa is to stay in America. My wife entered with a K-1 visa and a one way ticket with no issues.

I think that she will need to take a class in the Philippines before leaving the country. Because she in emigrating to the USA, her passport would need a CFO sticker.
