Tho K1 is a non-immigrant visa, it is process as immigrant visa coz of the intent to stay in the United States after marrying the petitioner. You'll be fine with one way ticket. I too flew JAL from manila to japan with one way ticket. and yes it was purchased online.

Safe trip!

I know you got your answer already but for those who may check this topic - this gets asked a lot and can be found in the Visa FAQ's section.

(It'd be nice if the FAQ section were a bit friendlier to navigate though.)

She won't have any problems.

I purchased Ailene's ticket online with NWA, and sent her the e ticket.

No need to worry.

Used expedia and purchased ticket from NWA and sent her the eticket, no problems, ticket was one way and 635 dollars.

But what about the unclear debate of the cost of Round Trip Ticket, vs one-way?

Some report getting a better deal by purchasing the RT ticket for a K1 immigrant.

Is this just a myth, 'cause I can't believe it.

Philippine law states that the ticket has to be issued in the Philippines if the flight starts there. Some people purchase the ticket online and then get it issued before they leave at the airport.

In my case I was not able to since I booked the flight on American Airlines and they were fined in the past for not following their procedure. I paid for the flight and everything and then a few hours latter AA sent me an email saying they could not issue the ticket. It was a bit of a hassle but I was able to purchase the ticket and there is an office in Manila that can print an American Airlines ticket. My wife showed up and paid the taxes for the ticket when it was printed. The problem I had was that AA does not have a ticket counter at the airport so I had to get it done this way.

Oh another thing. Make sure the name on the ticket is exactly the same as on her passport so you will not have any problems.

Sorry you had to go thru all this.

Your situation is EXACTLY why most Kano Men just have Pinay buy the ticket in the Phils, and thus eliminate the chance of last minute bureaucratic bullshit like this. We go thru so much of it, and then CFO. Who needs it at the airport just as she is trying to come home to you? Cheers.

So in my situation.Expedia says there will be no problems.should i just go with that? i dont know what to do? it will be a long process to try and get a refund and purchase the tickets again.

yes, all she needs is the e-ticket, visa, passport, CFO sticker and the packet from the USEm. She needs to pay 1,620 php travel tax if it's not included in the ticket and 750 php terminal fee. She'll be fine. Happy new year too!
