Airplane tickets

HI All
Our 129f was approved and my fiancee is planning to travel around the end of February but does she need a roundtrip airline ticket if she has a K1 visa or only a one way will do?
Thanks All

I'm not an expert but I believe it is too early to purchase airline tickets just because you have the approval. There is still the post approval process with the interview at the consulate which can take weeks or months. But once all of that is done and your fianace has the sealed package from the consulate containing the actual visa, you can purchase a one-way ticket. Your fianace will not be able to leave the US until you change the status after you are married. Unless you change your mind about getting married, and then your fianace has to leave the states.

A one-way ticket is fine. But round trip tickets are almost always cheaper than one way, so pick the cheapest, even if you throw away the return ticket.
