K1 visa

[AMB 7]

Hi guys 

is it true that k1 visa holders must book return ticket rather than one-way ticket? Especially if the applicant from the Middle East

The K-1 Visa holder is going from where? The Middle East to the U.S.?

 

I have never heard of that. The K-1 Visa is technically a non-immigrant visa but, needless to say, there is an intent to migrate so I don't know why a return ticket would be necessary. Besides, the K-1 Visa holder will not be able to travel outside the U.S. without a Green Card or an Advance Parole.

Not

Not true at all. You can book any kind of ticket you want. One way, two ways, three ways, ... 

[Zoeeeeeee 797]

No. But most people book return tickets cause they’re generally cheaper than one way.

 

My return flights were £400 - a one way ticket was over £1000. I’ll be flying out and then calling to cancel the return leg.

Absolutely not true. And adding this to the already long list if outrageous immigration myths.

Yeah, buy whichever works the best for you. The only strong recommendations I'd give are

• Don't buy non-refundable tickets until you (or your fiance(e), if you'll be buying tickets for him or her) have the visa in hand
• If you do get round-trip (return) tickets, remember to cancel the return leg after you get to the US

What is the source of this obviously erroneous hearsay?

Seems it might be certain airlines that don't understand what a K-1 is:
