Natalie, no use using a travel agent as long as you have the internet. Most airlines and website, when booking tickets online and using a credit card, require that the traveler be in possession of the credit card during the trip and to show at check-in. Expedia is one of the exceptions. I have purchased ticket through them and the traveler did not have to show the CC. Just be careful when booking. You can try Expedia, Orbitz, Travelocity, Kayak, or any other travel website. Or, you can go straight to the airlines that service Morocco's webpage. Why not use a USA travel agent. You have lot's of choices so just take your time and do it right. Ken

Natalie,

you CAN purchase the tickets for him. It is cheaper to buy it straight from the company than from Orbitz, expedia and etc. You can call the company directly and say you are buying a ticket for your boyfried/husband and etc and they won't ask him for the credit card. Another option, you can call your credit card company and let them know that you are letting your boyfriend use to your credit card in Morocco in the amount of XXXXXX and you are authorizing this transaction. He can go to the travel agency and he call you from there and you give them an authorization through the phone. It's really easy and simple and no need to break your head over it.

Good luck.

Well... you did file to Vermont so might as well plan ahead haha. Do the search and all!!...just don't buy the tickets just yet, until your sweety gets the Visa in hand.

I've asked the US Embassy in Jakarta and they said that as a K-1 Visa Holder I am allowed to purchase a One Way ticket, and should the Travel Agent require any further info they told me to give the Immigrant Visa Unit's phone number and give this specific consular's name to them so they could ask her directly. And I believe it does not matter where you buy the tickets, knowing that your fiance is permitted to buy a one way ticket. Whichever is cheaper is good!!
