Hi everyone! We are Planning to travel Guam USA this april which is US teritorry. My GC and AP are still in the process. I’m from texas. It is safe to travel in Guam without GC/AP? We’ll just stay there for 3 weeks and go back again i texas. Anyone has done with this? Thank you for the response! 😊

I wouldn't do this without APPROVED AP.

Have to second above. Territories are a little in the grey area. Even taking a cruise, you shouldn't because you have left the US and can be denied re-entry.

 

I would think even going to territories would be the same honestly. Not sure; but perhaps there is someone who has recently done it that can give more guidance.

 

I myself would just wait until you get AP honestly.

"Do I need advance parole if I am flying from the continental United States to Puerto Rico?  What about Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, or the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands?

 

No, advance parole would not be needed if you travel directly between parts of the United States, which includes Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), without entering a foreign port or place."
