You should be fine, but technically you are going over international waters. Same would be true for Hawaii though. But like others said there's always that chance the plane has to go somewhere else... Odds are pretty slim, but still there.

We`re going to the US virgin islands and expect no trouble. We`ve been told that as long as our plane does not make a stop anywhere outside US territory we`re fine, so we`re just making sure that won`t happen. as long as it`s US territory (which it is) and you don`t make any stops outside of US territory, you`ll be fine.

Enjoy your honeymoon!

Hi everyone,

We got our NOA2 and started to do some of the planning for the wedding. I have read and got some mixed reviews of going outside of the U.S. for the honeymoon...even to places like Puerto Rico. My question is pretty simple, is there a risk of going to PR....and would you advise agaist it? I am half PR but have never been, so I thought since we can't go anywhere exotic (And Hawaii is too expensive) that we can go to PR for the honeymoon...but now I'm not too sure.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am the spouse of a U.S. citizen and we are in the U.S. Virgin Islands since December 2014. We filed my AOS in March.

I travelled to Puerto Rico in April and last week I got mt travel document. Today we have the interview for the Green Card at our USCIS local office and they did not question the trip to PR. My I-94 says 'Departure' when I left for PR but it did not pose any problem for USCIS.

If you feel you want to spend in your honeymoon in PR, I would say go for it. The chances that your plane lands in another country to fill its tank are slim, same as you getting kidnapped and then returned to the US, where you lose your application :P Puerto Rico is a wonderful place but kinda hot too.

Good luck!
