I know there is another thread on this but I want to ask and know for sure.

My Fiancée, Michal, is coming to the USA... the first week of March 2014 with his Fiancée Visa.

He needs to know if he can buy a two way ticket for a one way trip due to the expense of a one way ticket. He is traveling from Slovakia to USA.

He has been here 3 other trips but this one he wont be returning because he will be here for us to marry.

I think I read he can purchase a two way then cancel the ticket for the return trip.

We don't want to do anything wrong so any advice or knowledge will be appreciated.

Also, once he comes here on the Fiancée Visa what is next for us to do after that. What is next after entering USA? The steps and procedures expected of him/me/us?

All replies will be so helpful.

April 9, 2013 Received a Text and Email Message that Petition is being sent to Vermont for Processing and will get hard copy within 7 to 10 days.

April - I have to look up the date to update this.

July 10, 2013 - Received 2 emails that our file was transferred. On July 10, 2013, we transferred this I129F PETITION FOR FIANCE(E) to another office for processing because they now have jurisdiction over the case. We sent you a notice of this transfer. ***Waiting to hear more!**** Then a few days later I received another email and a text and a few days after that I got a hard copy. I will edit the dates tomorrow.

Edit: I have to update the timeline when I get a chance.

Waiting...for NOA2.. We received the NOA2. I need to update everything from this to the interview date!!

Also, once he comes here on the Fiancée Visa what is next for us to do after that. What is next after entering USA? Get married within 90 days of POE. The steps and procedures expected of him/me/us? guides6ly.gif, in particular, the K-1/K-3 AOS Guide, see link below. Start reading up in the Family-based AOS forum.

He needs to buy a one way ticket not round trip. Have a good day smile.png

There is no requirement on how the person on a K-1 enters the US. I bought my wife a RT ticket with the return 89 days after arrival. Once married I canceled the return leg as there have been stories her on VJ where the airline sells the seat but does not update the manifest and the USCIS thinks the immigrant spouse has left the country before the AOS has been completed. The only thing a K-1 visa holder must do is get married within the 90 days after arrival. Then they file for adjustment of status (AOS) along with employment authorization (EAD) and advance parole (AP) so they can work and travel before the GC arrives. Should they decide to leave the US before receiving the AP, then they will have a hard time re-entering the US.

The consensus is to purchase which ever is the cheapest and meets your needs. IF it happens to be a RT ticket, then just cancel the return leg and keep that confirmation number until the foreign spouse becomes a USC (should they decide to go all the way) just to CYA. I know I would be royally pissed if I was REQUIRED to purchase a one-way ticket as of a few weeks ago a one-way was running about $5300 and a RT was about $2200. The difference when my wife came on her K-1 was $1100 more for the one-way.

Good luck,

Dave
