You can get one-way or round trip, it doesn't matter I believe with a K1. Round trip is usually cheaper I think, but if you can find a one-way cheaper then I'd go for it!

Having travelled extensively around the world entering a continent in one city and returning from another, I found it usually cheaper to buy a round -trip and simply not use the return leg from the original destination city. In the case of your arrival under a K1 visa, you do not need a R/T ticket, BUT... just in case things don't work out AND if it's cheaper to buy a R/T ticket, you might want to set the return date at 88-89 days after your planned arrival (since the K1 expires on day 90). That way, the cost of a R/T ticket is DEFINITELY cheaper than 2 one-way tickets.

If you have airline miles this is the best time to use them..

to everyone visiting their fiancee dont forget to open a miles account with the airline you fly.

my fiancees airline ticket cost me $50.. and that from chile to hawaii then to my home..

without miles this would cost over $3000..

I just bought Honolulu to Manila round trip for me to be there for the interview on the 7th the cost was $770, I tried to buy round trip starting

in Manila for her to Honolulu and it caost a lot more starting in Manila, so I bought her a one way on the same flight as me that cost $774 the

rest of the way to Alaska i just used my miles so the cost there was like maybe $5 each for two tickets.

So the cost of round trip tickets is diffrent depending on the start point Manila to Honolulu, or Honolulu to Manila, does that make sense?
