I know this is a common question but I REALLY need some reassurance here (or some Xanax...)!

We very suddenly got the email on April 16 that my wife should go get the medical done and setup her interview for 2 weeks after.

So, medical is being done Monday April 22, 2013 in Guangzhou!

Interview is sched. for Thursday May 9.

Main question: What is the best way for me to setup my ticket purchase(s)?

Scenario 1: Buy my round trip and leave the return home open dated (hoping interview goes OK and I can buy my wife's ticket "as needed")?

Scenario 2: Buy both round-trip tickets now (cheaper?) and she will only take the flight back to USA?

Other options anyone can share and/or what do most people do please?

i suggest another option.

when she's at the IV Unit for doc intake day,

when she finishes up with DOC INTAKE -

talk to all of the touts around, the fellas and ladies pitching cheap air tickets for immigrants.

Walk into 3 of the offices, and get a quote. Be sure to walk out, though.

Then compare the 3 quotes. Sometimes, is a deal. Sometimes.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
