The one-way fares are crazy so booking two one ways isn't doable. The round trip fare is less than half the one way.

Is there a penalty if I cancel the return trip after I'm in the US?
I wouldn't bother with canceling, just don't show up. Also consider booking a flexible fare with return far out in the future. Then, you might possibly be able to use it, albeit after paying some fare difference.
