One way or round trip for fiance

My fiance in the Philippines was approved and is going through the process of getting her visa. I'm just wondering if when she gets the visa if she will buy a one way ticket or does it have to be a roundtrip?

Just one way. You don't have plans to send her back already?? hahaha

God Bless, My wife is from the Philippines.

I just don't know if there are any requirements for having a ticket back in case something goes wrong.

No there is no such requirement.

I am curious though that you state that your wife has been approved and is applying for her visa. This statement concerns me. Who pre-approved her? Where are you in the process?

On the contrary, she can't leave and come back unless she has Advance Parole!

Hello karlosb,

Check the price of the tickets, From The Netherlands to the USA an one way way ticket ( $1400 ) is almost double the price of a round trip ticket ( $ 820 ). I know, crazy but true .

It sounded to me that she got approved and is just waiting for the visa to be issued. I could be wrong though

It's ok to buy a roundtrip ticket in order to save money just not a requirement. If you do buy a round trip ticket make sure you cancel the return ticket with the airline after the fiancee is here.

Thanks. No need to be concerned though, my fiance was approved by the USCIS and now is getting the medical before the interview in her country.

Good point, I didn't think of that. Do you know what happens if you don't cancel the ticket? Just curious...

Airlines have been known to report the person on the airline manifest...basically saying they've left the country. Huge problems at A.O.S. time. There are threads here about it. I'm on my cell or I'd link them. Just make sure after the fiancee is her to call the airline and cancel that's all I can say about it.

When I visited the US at Christmas, my airline didn't report me as leaving! I was under VWP...

Thank god I returned within 90 days. The CBP guard was quite confused as they obviously still had me in the country. Well done, QANTAS!

Check your frquent flier balance. UAL flights are only 40k one way.

Dozens of threads exist on this topic, so this thread is closed to further comment. The crucial advice here (as in the other threads) is to cancel the return portion of the ticket after the beneficiary is in the U.S.
