Travel before AOS

[rdolfan136 0]

My wife wants to book a flight within the U.S. to see family. We have already completed the biometrics for the AOS. At this point just waiting. Can she travel now? I hoped just taking her Florida ID, marraige cert. and all the Notice of Actions, and of coarse her passport. Can she travel with these documents? thanks

No, she can´t. She needs an Advance Parole. If she leaves the US she will be denied when she comes back.

Notice of Action are useless in this case

Yes she can. I would take all these docs. That's what I did traveling Philly to Chicago in the beginning of August. They only wanted to see my passport but I was "insured" with the other docs- in case they asked. Oh and my visa was expired- but we were of course already married (K-1), I understand your worries.

We are talking about a DOMESTIC FLIGHT! Yes she can fly within the US with these docs.

She is going alone. Will that be a problem? And, I assume that booking the flight in her married name is the right thing too do, thanks....please respond

hi there,

she may travel freely domestically w/out advance parole. you need to make sure that you booked the flight in the name matching the identification she is travelling with, my husband has travelled domestically w/ his state issued i.d. no problems. she does not need her passport nor her noa's (i recommend against taking them in case they get lost) since she has a state id it's sufficient.

good luck!

Travel WHERE?

If domestic, then YES.

If international, then NO not until you have AP document in hand, this allows re-entering the USA.

I took my NOA's since I didn't have the state ID, just a passport with an expired K-1 visa in it for my ID. I took the backup docs scared of the things I have read on the Internet about TSA stopping and questioning people they had doubts about being here legally. Just to be safe.

AP is only needed when u travel outside the country with pending AOS. Make sure that the name on the ticket match the name in her passport. She may need to bring some other documents aside from passport.. Have a safe flight!

It is fine to travel within the US. I went to other state to meet my inlaws and i just brought my Passport and they did not ask me any single question.

I wasn't married that time yet.

There is no obligation to carry anything other than an ID while traveling within the US.

I personally have traveled to Texas, Washington, Colorado, New York and Florida not to mention Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands during my pending AOS. I live in California.

Only people who you will encounter are TSA personnel and they don't know nor ask nor care about immigration as it is not their dept.
