We got our K-1 visa in Brussels last week.... yay!!!!

We've just bought a one-way plane ticket from Brussels to Baltimore, with her port of entry at JFK. The price was good. This seemed prfectly logical, but it occurred to me that I should check here. Is it necessary or advisable to get a round-trip ticket instead?

Humm... Well, the advantage of a round-trip is that it uses to be cheaper than a one-way ticket! But since you got a good price in this one you bought, there's any problem in using it! ;)

Have a good trip! (F)

In Brazil, when I was checking the tickets, round trip was cheaper, and the tourist agency said to me it would not be possible to send a one-way ticket with my visa :wacko: , but I didn't research to know about this...

best wishes!!!

One way is just fine and what most people do here :thumbs: Having said that a return maybe cheaper but may also raise questions at the POE as to why you need it possibly

I did the opposite on a J1 VISA a couple of years ago. I was out for 18 months and had a return ticket for 3 months later.

It is totally fine - if they mention it just tell them that the ticket you got was the cheapest price.

As most people have been saying a return ticket usually ends up cheaper as you can get last min charter flights!

Aside from the cost issue and whether or not a round trip would be cheaper, technically there is zero need for a return ticket since the visa is to bring the fiance of the petitioner to the US to get married and adjust status in the US.

Waiver approved after 10 months. Did NOT use a lawyer
