Round Trip Ticket or One Way

[merryme 0]

Hi! My visa status is still administrative processing but I am thinking ahead.

Will it be ok if I purchase a round trip ticket or will it be an issue at the immigration? The price of a one-way ticket is almost the same, if not more expensive, than round trip. I am asking this question regardless of whether or not I will be able to use the ticket coming back.

Thanks in advance for any input. ?

Nope, no issue. That is why some buy round trip tickets, they are cheaper at times.

I have a flight question also.....I plan on flying to get her and wondering who else is planning that and what is the best way to get the tickets. I want to get a round trip for myself and wondering the best way to get her on the same flight back....any ideas

I tried to get everything setup online but I had issues because I was buying one-way ticket for my wife, so I call the airline's reservations and they got it all setup so my wife and I were on the same flight, after that I grabbed seats and all was good.

Call different airlines (PAL, Delta, American etc.) as some will give a discount for first time immigration. It can save you a couple of hundred dollars on your ticket.

Use many of the airline websites and those like Travelocity, Kayak, Expedia to name a few. Also, be flexible with your departure dates as a Tuesday could be cheaper than a Saturday departure.

Buying a round trip ticket is not an issue. Keep in mind that you may be require to use a return date when booking as "open return date" tickets can be more expensive.

Try an agent to book and buy your tickets. I heard good things about this person:

Do not finalize arrangements for travel to the United States, dispose of properties, or resign from your job until a visa has been issued and delivered to you.

Thanks, Greenbaum, for the very useful information. I am going to call your referred travel agent right after I get my visa.
