The Embassy does not yet know the price of tickets.  You will be required to pay MIAT Mongolian Airlines directly for your travel.  Though the Embassy does not endorse the services of MIAT Mongolian Airlines, it is recommended that you book your onward travel to the United States at the same time you pay for your flight from Mongolia.  Doing so will ensure that you do not risk quarantine at your transfer point.

If you require financial assistance to pay for your travel to the United States, please clearly indicate this in your email.  The Embassy is able to provide such assistance and your timely request will ensure that you receive the funds needed to return home.
