First, I would like to say that I hope your stay in the United States is great and that you want to come back. Your question sounds like something your embassy could answer. The new Patriot Act might have an effect on your travel plans, but better to find out now before you get here and have a headache about your return travel plans. Maybe check with the Australian and American passport office and see what they say. By all means, get peoples names when you talk to them. You might even get your answer by putting in your browser the Patriot Act and see what that says. Good Luck and Happy travels!

Probably. I'm British and travel to the USA alot and i always get pulled over,questioned and searched by US Immigration - heavens knows why,i'm a "normal" 24 year old woman who has diabetes so HAS to return to England!
But they like to know you have a return ticket as proof that you're not planning to stay there illegally.
Other factors could swing this though. If you can prove you do have something to return home for - a job,medical problems etc,they might let it pass that you don't have a return ticket just yet.
As someone else stated,it only costs $100 US to alter your flight intinerary,so you may be best booking a return flight,and just changing the return date to whenever you want to come home and pay the $100.
Have a great trip x

You must prove your intention to leave the US. If you are coming on a one way ticket we will send you to secondary and make you get a ticket home. If you are traveling on an open ticket we will make you book a date for return before we will let you into the country. Being from Australia has nothing to do with it. I happen to very much like Australia. We do this for travelers from every country.

Most tickets allow you to change your return for $100. That's amazingly less expensive that buying 2 one-way tickets

Us immigration workers are usually foul tempered, I cannot blame them for that. You would be better off to buy a round trip open ended ticket and change the date after you get here for your return trip.

yep, you clearly state to them you are a potential immigrant, with no intentions to return. that's what a one way ticket mean in your case.
book a return so you don't get any entry refusal...you'll change the date later, or book an open ticket, it's better.

Are you Australian? If not, then you will get a hassle, especially with your one-way ticket.

You have to have a return ticket if you are not a U.S. citizen. Here are the entry requirements:
