For the first 60 days many consulates/Embassies are saying no sponsor required for the B211a for tourism purpose.
I would clarify this with the Embassy /consulate that you are planning to go through.
On extension a sponsor would more than likely be required and they may stick to the requirement of travel agent as a sponsor.
Yes an ongoing ticket is required and usually with the initial timeframe of the visa - 60 days
Its all still new at the moment and not all Embassies/consulates are offering the service and not all are the same re requirements.
