I'm happy to say that my fiance had his interview this week, and his visa has been approved!!! Thanks so much to this website and everyone posting their advice, it really made this process more manageable than it would have been!

A quick question though, can he buy a one-way ticket to the US, or must it be a round-trip?

One way tickets are some times twice the price of round trip tickets! It's crazy and makes no sense of course there are some airlines which this is not the case (Aer Lingus being one of them) I bought

ticket type - doesn't matter.

IMO, buy the cheaper one.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

If a round trip ticket is purchased, cancel the return half after arrival in the US.

Congrats!

I have found that round trips from South Africa to the USA are much cheaper. Unless you find some last minute special. So I would buy a Round trip. Congrats again!

A quick question though, can he buy a one-way ticket to the US, or must it be a round-trip?

He should be able to buy a one way ticket. He may need to show the airline ticket office his immigrant VISA. Or if booking on-line the airline might require some specific information. The best bet is to call the airline you will be purchasing the ticket from. They should be able to tell you exactly what is needed. CONGRATULATIONS!!

GOD BLESS,

I have never heard of a round trip ticket being cheaper than a one way ticket. The problem you could run into (IMHO) is the airlines or immigration might question why he would have a return ticket if he is in fact immigrating to the US. Could this raise some suspicion? I am not sure. Good luck and God Speed.
