Planning to get my parents to USA from india on visitor visa. Do I need to book return ticket as well or one way will do ? Wondering if booking one way might create trouble during immigration. Any thoughts?

They may be asked to show return tickets. Mine were asked twice so best to buy return just for everyone's peace of mind

You need to show a return ticket to board the flight from India.

Did not know these , thank you

Might ask/ might not ask.
My mum travelled last week and she did have a two way ticket but was never asked about it.

Return ticket is mandatory. Friend’s mom was made to return back to India as she was without return ticket.
