Need clarification and authentic process.

I am planning to travel USA in 30 days and holding a visitor visa on my RTD.

We 4 adults travelling on RTD with not having our country of nationality passport ( our travel document would be RTD)
Along with 1 child canada born has canadian passport with no uSA

What documents we need to have for ticket booking and travelling, specially boarding time??
 
if your current nationality requires Visa to enter the USA as visitor, you need to apply for a non-immigrant visa (category B1/B2) in a USA consulate with your RTD. The Canadian child does not need a visa. Word of advice: do not book any flights until your RTD with a stamped visa is in your hands or you risk losing that money as you won't be allowed to board that aircraft.

We have US visa Already on our RTD, for boarding we need to show only RTD and visa inside right no any other documents?

For ticketing I see they asked nationality which is same as back home but we can still travel and book tickets right ??


For my kid born as Canadian no need vist but do we have to pay any fee for him while doing boarding or immigration in US entering time
 
-You don't need any other documents, just the RTD and the stamped visa.

-You can buy your tickets as you already have valid documentation to travel, no risk. when asked by the ticketing system use you nationality and also say you are traveling with a document issued by Canada.

-For the Canadian child, yes, you have to buy a ticket like any other traveler.. if they are under 2 years old they can travel on any of the parents lap for a reduced fee, but they still need to pay a ticket.

-You won't pay any fees when doing U.S. immigration (if you travel by air, land crossing is a different rule)

- Keep in mind that a VISA only gives you the ability to travel to the US, admission is not guaranteed and immigration officers have a lot of discretion. That said, I've travelled to the US multiple times (both air and land) with RTD+Visa and never had any issues.
 
Just to add... if you are already a PR, please also bring your PR Card with you when traveling anywhere.. US Immigration is not going to ask you for your PR Card, but Canadian authorities will upon your return.
