I am looking for a word that means that somebody only has one culture. For example, somebody immigrating from Country 1 to Country 2 would be bicultural. What is someone who has only one culture. I thought unicultural but I don't think that is correct.

Monocultural is what you want. One of the meanings of the noun monoculture is, in the OED’s definition, ‘A common culture or way of life; (now) especially a culture or way of life which is ascendant over a large (or global) area; a dominant cultural hegemony’ and it has been in use since 1968. The corresponding adjective monocultural is first recorded by the OED four years earlier.
The OED has no entry for unicultural.
