Hi,
My wife is going for her CR1 interview in 3 weeks. When I get her plane tickets to come to the US, can I get her a one way ticket or should it be two way? Thanks in advance for your answers. I'd really appreciate them.

Yes, you can buy her a one way plane ticket because she will have the visa documentation, the airline won't bother her about a one way ticket. She should be fine. Good luck with her interview, and good for you to have her here before the vicious winter is here...lol!!!!
 
Definitely do a one way.........having a return ticket has actually hurt a few people due to airlines 'accidentally' reporting that the beneficiary actually left on their return flight (when they didnt) which has caused HUGE headaches when it came to their next step with USCIS. Both cases I saw were K1s where when it came to AOS, they were denied as the beneficiary 'left' before AOS was approved (when they didnt....the airline just said they did). USCIS's stance was 'prove that you never' which they couldnt- their physical presence in the States at the time didnt prove that they didnt leave as according to USCIS the 'could' have left on the flight and then got another flight back to N America the next day and entered the US without inspection. Ludicrous I know, but it took a lot of work and battling with the airline and US by these poor couple to get it sorted (and these are just 2 cases that I accidentally came across- its possible that this could have happened to other also).

So definitely go with a one way to be on the safe side.......you dont want to find out when it comes to ROC that the airline accidentally said you left 2 years ago and are still out of the country with out a re-entry permit (therefore possibly abandoning GC).

Extreme case scenario I know, but I always like to reduce any possible chance of potential hurdles when it comes to USCIS.

Here's the link to one of the return ticket horror stories I mentioned....I got a 'few' of the details wrong (they were actually claiming beneficiary left without 'AP' which was the reason for denial).

While everything was eventually sorted......having a one way will remove the headache of having to fix someone else's screw up.

This is the most bizarre story I have read in a long time. Is USCIS serious? Prove to us that you never left? I mean, he still had his I-94 form with him? If I were the petitioner, I would have escalated and requested airline manifesto and moreover, sue them for misrepresentation. Misrepresentation that they told the US govt that you were on a plane which you never took, they sold the seat and used your personal information to deceive the US govt. Is it possible that a terrorist bought the ticket and flew under the victim's name?
 
I know, right?? Pretty crazy!!!!
But nothing really surprises me when it comes to USCIS. I just can't get my head around how the airline used the original passengers details to check a completely different individual on to the return flight. Really makes you wonder about how 'secure' our airlines are.
But as per usual, wonderful USCIS claims the onus is on the innocent k1 visa holder to sort out this mess other wise their AOS is denied. They really are something else.
