I could use a little traveling advice.

I am planning to fly to the Philippines to be with Arlyn during the interview, and got the approval from my work to take the 10 or so days off I need.

The thing is, how soon can I get the plane ticket for Arlyn after we get the Visa in hand?

I want her to fly home with me, and sit together on the plane!

Also, do we need to buy round-trip because it is K1 visa? I heard rumors of this. I am hoping we can just buy normal one-way trip and be able to do so right after she gets visa in hand.

I know I went to Makati before to make a change in my Northwest Airlines flight last time I was there, and they had plenty of room. Difference is that this will be right after the New Years, and spots may be limited.

Any advice would be appreciated!

As soon as you have the visa you can buy the plane ticket. It also can be one-way.

Good luck :thumbs:

Good luck :thumbs:

I know we are eligible to buy a plane ticket immediately after receiving the Visa.

What I am asking is how far in advance will the airlines require me to purchase her ticket?

Will I be able to walk right up to the Northwest airlines and see if a seat is available and buy a ticket for her, or will we need to buy this ticket in advance so that the flight lands right around the time she should receive her visa?

Everyone says it is risky to do in case there is some delay in the visa process and the flight is missed--and I agree, because I simply don't have extra cash floating around this time of the year after both of my children's birthdays and Christmas coming up, to risk losing $800 on an unused airline ticket.

I agree with "everyone". You simply can't count FOR SURE on the visa being there when the plane is ready to go. If you don't have the money to risk then just wait. If it's there by the time you're ready to go, you can always go for "stand by".

2007:

February - May: extended visit to States, engagement.

5/4: I-129F sent (Texas Service Center, forwarded to California Service Center)

5/11: Petition received at California Service Center.

5/16: Check cleared. NOA1 online (no hard copy received yet)

6/19: NOA1 hard copy arrived FINALLY

7/16: Sent off for Police Certificate (U.K.)

8/22: TOUCHED due to phone call (RFE Trick, was told case wasn't assigned yet)

9/20:APPROVED!!! After 127 days from NOA1 and 139 days from filing date.

10/23: Spoke to Kelly at NVC who said they should have received our petition by now. She advised I send a copy of our NOA2 directly to the NVC office, which I did immediately. :-)

10/26: NVC RECEIVES CASE!

10/30: NVC SENDS CASE TO LONDON CONSULATE

11/1: Consulate receives case in London AND sends out Packet 3.

11/6: Sent Packet 3 to Consulate (we'd downloaded the forms on VJ and had them completed already)
