hey everyone,

what is the best kind of ticket to get for the fiance who is coming to the US- one way or a changeable round trip? OW costs the SAME as RT....!!!!! if you got a RT you could use the other leg later, when your fiance wants to visit family and friends. but i could see how that might end up being a hassle. any advice? how are you all handling it? i have some frequent flyer miles- maybe we will use them.

thanks !

kathie

Kathie....

Congratulations to you! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Oh! About the ticket... My fiance will get one way ticket only for me. Because his friends got only one way when their fiance/fiancee went to US. Since I'm not going back anytime soon. Also my fiance visa is single entry. Not unless if it's intentional that a fiance/fiancee doesn't want to stay in the US and plans to go back home after 90 days.

Angel

hey angel! thank you. i think we are going to also get a one way ticket. it sucks its so expensive instead of being half price of a round trip but oh well! my fiance's mom is alone and not in the best health, that is the main reason we might travel back there soon- in case of emergency. also we like to travel! :-) i think im going to buy him a OW ticket using my frequent flyer miles though.

where are you going to be living once here in the US? we are in california. oh-HAH HA! I said WE!!! i guess i feel like he is already here!!! YAY!!

Hello everyone :star:

This is an update of mine and Oksana's journey :thumbs: She received her Visa 25th of September and she is arriving home at 4:00 the 15th of October :dance::dance::dance:

As for plane tickets cost, it all depends where you are coming from and Port of Entry. I found out that first checking her countries flights and routes to America and then looking at connecting domestic flights to our home was the best way to go, because domestic flights are much cheaper than international flights :yes:

Oksana is flying from Tashkent Uzbekistan to Seoul Inchon South Korea and then on to Seattle (my home state) She will then connect with Alaskan Airlines to Eastern Washington. Flight miles 8,412 . Best thing to do is check all flights to US major airports and then check domestic connecting flights to your nearest airport. You will save a little money :yes:

Good Luck to all,

robertjay

Same here. We The United Slaves of America. What can u do, but wait and pray? Congressman won't do u no good either. I requested them to help me look into my case. It took them month and a half to finally stop Bsing me and give the case to an officer. I left a message to the congressmen case officer and she replied to me after a week (so nice of her) saying that it is very hard for her to help me with anything but she will still try. Then she said the Uscis has to tell me within two to seven days what is going on with the case. This is the second week and I have not heard from her. When I told her may and june applicants are getting approved at this time as far as I know. She simply told me I have the wrong information they r still working on february cases. :whistle: Plus don't waste ur money on attorney they will start giving u ####### answers as wel and that will piss u off even more. Seems like everyone sitting around is just trying to suck on our blood. Taking every single penny our of our pockets for nothing.

You're response will be very much appreciated!

Salamat! ^_^
