Dear colleagues,

As holders of the F-1 student visa, can we enter the USA without having a return airplane ticket?

It seems logic to me that it's not required to have also the return airplane ticket. But there is no logic in this kind of administrative stuff.

Thanks

i was wondering the same. but i read in some notice that a return or onward ticket is required. i found actually that most return tickets are cheaper than one-way.

No return ticket is required.
However, it does often happen, especially in the summer season, that the round-trip ticket is cheaper.
Yo!

Thanks guys.
I make the same conclusion: no return ticket is required.


QUOTE US Embassy in Vienna

If you hold a visa of any classification, including a B-1/B-2 visa, you are not required to hold a return ticket; you may enter the United States on a one-way ticket. All travelers should carry with them for presentation to U.S. officials, if required, evidence of funds sufficient for their visit and, with the exception of H and L visa holders, evidence that they have a residence abroad to which they intend returning at the end of their stay. Examples of such evidence include: traveler's checks; return tickets; copy of latest bank statement; letter from parents saying they will support you; evidence of current employment; evidence of enrollment at an academic institution.
