Buy whichever is cheapest. Claudeth came on a one-way that she purchased in the RP becuase it was cheaper than me buying it.

Hi, I posted the same ? on the Philippine forum. My friend found out a couple of days ago that you have to purchase a round trip ticket for your fiance when flying to USA. He talked with reps from United Airlines. I am thinking that this is a regulation that is not being enforced by the airlines or the immigration people at the POE. If anyone here has more substantial info on this topic please reply. Thanks
