Travel to Puerto Rico on k1 visa ?

[Beruang101 26]

Hello I just wanted to know if my now wife is able to travel to Puerto Rico. We got married already and her k1 visa expired. We have already filed the I-485, I-765, and I-131. She doesn’t have her combo card yet but she already did her biometrics but it hasn’t been approved yet. Has anyone gone to PR. It sounds like there shouldn’t be a problem but I’m still trying to see if anyone has done it already?

Yes, she can directly travel between US mainland and Puerto Rico: https://web.archive.org/web/20190824072204/https://www.uscis.gov/archive/blog/2014/05/five-questions-about-advance-parole_9

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.

She can go there without any problems as long as nothing unforseen happens and she doesn't set foot on any other country. Chances are slim to none but keep it in mind 😊

Thanks for the info I see the article is from 2014. A lot of laws could have changed from then. Has anyone done this first hand experience recently ??

There has been no change of laws regarding domestic travel. Direct travel between mainland US and PR is domestic travel.

It’s no different from flying to Alaska or Hawaii from your perspective. The only problem you *might* encounter is if there is an emergency onboard the aircraft and you are forced to divert elsewhere. I was on a plane once from Norway to the US and a passenger had a heart attack onboard so we landed in Canada to get him off and to a hospital. There were Russian passengers onboard who would need visas for Canada. Fortunately we all remained on the aircraft, did not officially enter Canada, and the flight continued same day but that’s not always the case.

Puerto Rico is considered domestic, so enjoy the travel.
