This may be a dumb question and not an issue all. It was just something I thought about.

My fiance got her K-1 VISA. She is currently searching for a plane ticket to come from Japan to the US. Round Trip tickets are cheaper than One-Way tickets... because, you know, that makes total sense... (sarcasm)

Anyway, is it or has it ever been an issue for a K-1 VISA holder to enter the US with a Round Trip ticket but then never make use of the return trip and let it expire instead of a One-Way Ticket? I guess what I am asking is will the officer at the border give her trouble for having a Round Trip ticket when she has a K-1 VISA? Will it raise his ire? Like maybe they might think, you're coming over her to get a green card then leave or something. And then give her a hard time or turn her around. I know, it sounds dumb, but bureaucracy can be dumb sometimes.

Just a thought. Let me know if anyone can comment. Thanks so much people!

Wow! Thanks everyone for the very quick replies. I really appreciate it. This will help. I honestly don't know where she's getting this. She searching a lot of different websites for information. Most likely sites like this but only in Japanese.

Maybe its possible something is getting lost in translation? No government or immigration site I have read has said you should add my Family name to her passport before getting VISA.

Yes, I am sure she is extremely nervous about the VISA and the move and everything. It is a huge, life changing event.

I hope everything works out as well.

Thank you!

Hello all. I just joined this site because I'm trying to figure out what my fiance is talking about.

I am an American Citizen, male, trying to marry my Japanese fiance, female. We are currently in the process of her receiving K-1 VISA. We are very close to getting the VISA. Very soon. She just needs to turn in her paperwork/interview. I won't go into all the ####### I have had to endure previously.

She wants to know if she should add my Family name to her Japanese Passport before she gets her VISA so her K-1 VISA and then Green Card will have my family name on it. She says A LOT of people are telling her to do so online. Is this a good idea? Does it even make any sense? Even my lawyer doesn't even know what she is referring to or why. Everything I've read has made the impression on me that she can do all her name changes during the AOS part. So that her Green Card will have my family name. Then she could change her passport to have my family name.

This is her direct quote.

"I am not talking about just changing my name. I am talking about if I should add your family name on my passport or not. I am not trying to change my name right now. I was looking at many websites. If I want to use both my family name and your family name in America (if I want get Green Card with your family name) I should add your family name before I get VISA. American government creates a Green Card depending on my VISA name. If I add your family name before I get VISA, I can get Green Card with your family name. If I don't add, I will get Green Card with only my name. I don't know what is wrong if I can't get Green Card with your family name. I don't think I can put your family name on my Green Card if I don't attach it on my Passport before I get VISA. Because American Goveranment make Green Card depends on VISA. if your family name won't on my Passport, I can't attach your family name on Green Card. Many people said so."

Honestly, I don't even know how that makes sense when you can change the name during the AOS process.

Could anyone with experience illuminate me? Thanks

Phil
