Possible issue at Port of Entry?

[LittleFox 7]

Dear All,

After receiving my K1 Visa, I decided to buy my flight ticket to be finally reunited with my fiancé.

I decided to by a one way trip and found a really not expensive ticket between Xmas and New Years Eve. I jumped on the occasion and booked it with Opodo.fr.

On my confirmation receipt: everything is fine, it is considered as a one way ticket. But on the itinerary, the company booked me a round way trip with a flight back home that I have never asked for... Of course, I called the booking company to understand why they booked me a round way trip and not a one way trip like I ordered. The nice customer service guy told me on the phone that they booked me a round way trip in order to provide me the lowest price, the only thing I have to do is to not take the plane back home.

Do you think it could be an issue at Port of Entry?

Thank you so much in advance for reassuring me.

Will not be an issue, the airlines company do not know what visa are you on. A lot of the airline company require you to buy a return ticket assuming you are on tourist visa

Congrats on your recent approval!

Thank you for your answer Janice&Micah. I feel more reassured now.

Thank you!

No issues at all, round trip tickets are often cheaper and many people book them for tat reason.

Be sure to cancel your return trip after you arrive. Not doing that has caused issues at AOS

Why would that be true? Got a link to someone who had issues?

There are more I believe, but I cannot find the links right now. Just make sure to cancel the return flight once you're here, and you shouldn't have any problems.

Thank you so much for those helpful links HK12!

I will make sure to cancel my flight back home once I will be in the US.

#1 Why would POE even care

#2 You don't show them a boarding pass or itinerary anyways

Non-issue at POE. Have a safe trip.

Ask the airline what the cancelation fee for your return flight is.

Initially I wanted to book my flight through Lufthansa and called their customer service to ask if they have better one way prices for people with immigration intent. She said that they don't and I should book a roundtrip and don't use the trip back home. But she has to inform me that according to their policy they are allowed to claim an additional charge (up to a one way ticket's price which is about $3000) afterwards. They hardly ever do but it COULD happen.

so I decided to book a one way trip through Icelandair...

[LittleFox 7]

That's good to know.

Mine is with Air France and there are no cancellation fees.

I called them today to submit the same question: they told me that I would just need to cancel my flight back home once in the US.

There will not be any extra fees.

Thank you so much everyone for answering to this topic.
