ComingToUS is on a distinguished road
Default Travel related question

I'm coming to the US for the first time on H1B. Do I need a one way or a return ticket? My travel agent told me that since I have a multiple entry visa (expiring on Oct 2011) a return ticket is not required unless I need to travel back home within one year. Could someone with knowledge about this issue help me out. I would really appreciate a reply from someone who recently landed in the US on H1B.

Thanks

Ticket does not matter if you are on H1B - one way should be fine.

Post my 2 cents

Since you are in H1B the employer would book your ticket to US and secondly, if in any case if you have to go back the employer would give you a return ticket back. That's what most of the employers do.
After reaching US, be active in IV forums as well as join the state chapter.
All the best.
