Dummy Ticket for US Visa — Verified Flight Itinerary for DS-160 and B1/B2

Why US visa applicants use flight reservations

The DS-160 form asks for your intended US travel dates and your intended port of entry. Consular officers at your interview will assess whether your travel plans are coherent and whether you have demonstrated intent to return home. A flight reservation covering your planned visit provides this evidence without requiring a non-refundable purchase.

A GDS reservation from AbemusFlight generates a real PNR visible in the airline's system — structurally identical to a booking made through any licensed travel agency. This is the legal, legitimate alternative to fabricated "dummy tickets" that fail verification checks.

How it works

1. Book the route covering your planned US visit — inbound and return flights matching your DS-160 dates.
2. Pay $15 via Stripe. Your PDF with a real PNR arrives in 60 seconds.
3. Use the reservation for your visa interview or document submission. The PNR is live for 48 hours.
4. Once your visa is approved, book your actual ticket. The hold releases automatically after 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the US embassy require a paid flight ticket for a visa application?

No. The DS-160 form and the B1/B2 visa interview process ask for your intended travel plans, not proof of a paid booking. A GDS reservation hold with a verifiable PNR demonstrates your travel intent without requiring you to purchase a non-refundable ticket before knowing if your visa will be approved. US consular officers review flight itineraries as part of assessing ties to your home country and intent to depart.

What is the difference between a dummy ticket and a flight itinerary for a US visa?

A dummy ticket is a fabricated PDF with a fake PNR. Consular officers and administrative staff who check it against the airline's reservation system get no result — which flags the application as fraudulent. A flight reservation from AbemusFlight is a real GDS booking. The PNR resolves to your name, route, and dates on the airline's own system because the booking is genuine.

Which US visa types require flight itinerary?

B1/B2 Tourist and Business visas are most commonly associated with flight itinerary requirements. F-1 student visas, J-1 exchange visas, and other non-immigrant categories may also benefit from showing intended travel plans. A GDS reservation covering your planned US stay period is appropriate for any of these.

Do I need a return ticket reservation for a US visa?

A round-trip reservation demonstrates clear intent to return to your home country — which is one of the key factors consular officers assess for non-immigrant visas. An outbound booking (your arrival in the US) and a return booking (your departure from the US) provide the clearest evidence of temporary visit intent.
