Hi all,

My fiancee' got her approval and K1 visa on January 11th. Hurrah!

Now, we're looking into buying tickets for her to the US.

Is she allowed to travel to the US with a one-way ticket with the K1 visa? Or must she have a valid return ticket?

Thanks alot! This forum has be extremely valuable in the process, not only for the information but the tremendous support of its members. Go VJers!

Oops, sorry, I should have done a seach in this forum before I posted my question.

According to all accounts, the US does not require a return ticket when entering on K1 visas.

Apologies for the wasted bandwidth!

There is no problem but I think you'll find that a one-way is cheaper.

A one-way ticket is fine. If feasible, you might have your fiancée buy the ticket where she lives; it could save you a considerable amount of money. Claudeth purchased a ticket for about $150 less than what my travel agent could get it for. Good luck :thumbs:

Did she have to show here Visa to the travel agent? I've read here in VJ that some airlines won't sell int'l flights without proof of visa.
