Question
I am sure it must be possible but can you confirm that I am able to buy a ticket for my parents who live in the UK to visit me in the US?

Answer
Dear Gill,

Yes, you can.
Just choice the way you want to do it (i.e. via travel agent or entering the airlines of your choice website) and just inform your parents of the itinerary (flights/dates) and the e-ticket number. Finally, make sure that their passport is valid beyond six months of the arrival date.

Best Regards,
R.Gomes
