My fiancée received her visa today for k1, it is a non immigrant visa which I do not understand since she is obviously immigrating. My question is since it is a non immigrant visa can I buy her a 1 way ticket or does it have to be a round trip ticket? I know with a regular tourist visa there must be a return ticket but I am confused by the non immigrant status of her visa. Thanks!!

You can buy whichever is cheaper.

K1 is a non-immigrant visa. She doesn't start being an immigrant until she's done AOS.

Everyone is absolutely correct, find the cheapest solution that works best for you. The K-1 Visa will grant her access, so there is no need to show a return ticket or ties to her country as you do with a tourist visa, but it's not an immigration visa. As others have said, you have a 90 day grace period to get married. At any time in there you can change your mind and go home. You are considered an immigrant when you file to Adjust status after the marriage.

Best of luck to you guys
