Hi there,

If you do not mind sharing can you please tell me what airline is offering $750 round trips flight to manila ?

I been using orbitz, expedia and delta and I never have been able to get a ticket for less then 1100....

Thank you in advance.

My husband used EVA air. When he visited me last March for a month his plane ticket is just $755

I guess everyone answered your question. Don't book anything unless visa on hand.

Hi everyone,

So I just took a look at the plane tickets to Brazil around the date when everything should be done, based off of current CSC times and the estimates I've been given. I paid $1200 for plane tickets last year and I'm finding valid round trip tickets for $550. I was thinking I could buy them dated after the expected processing date, so I could be safe.

I need plane tickets before July, as we I am applying for my permanent Brazilian visa (so we can go back to visit) and they need to see your itinerary at the consulate. It's easy to get, but there's so many visa applications, consulate visits, and terminology being thrown around that my head is a total mess.

Considering my whole family already thinks I'm crazy, I'd rather get a feel of what you guys here think. Is it worth taking a shot in the dark to save over $1000?

It's a big gamble to purchase a ticket based on projected processing dates. While you might save money and luck out, you might also lose the money if the case is not processed as projected. Ultimately, it's up to you. The USCIS recommends only to purchase tickets when the visa physically is in your hands.
