Traveling within the states??

[JaHoney 3]

Hello all, just wondering can my SO travel within the states ( meaning from state to state without AP). FOrgive me if thi reads retarded, im still trying to understand all of the different meanings of things. Anyway, so hypothetically, he arrives here, but doesnt have AP or whatever is needed, but we want to fly to another state to visit family and friends, is that allowed or is there going to be something in the system that flags him. Any input is always appreciated

[YuAndDan 153]

There is NO restriction on travel within the USA.

As others have said, AP is not needed for travel within the U.S. However, keep in mind that if you're traveling within the U.S. near the southern border (say, I-10 between California and Texas), you may encounter a border patrol checkpoint and be asked about citizenship. Non-U.S. citizens are required to have their passports to show. These checkpoints are numerous along I-10 and are typically out in the middle of nowhere.

This has happened to us a few times (we live in Arizona) during road trips in AZ, CA, NM, and TX.

I'm not sure about the northern border.

Hey honey;

That's a perfectly straightforward question. That's what this forum is form. Never think that you're asking a silly question. Lord knows I've asked plenty of them. Glad you have your answer and if it makes you feel any better I also asked the same thing.

In Canada-border states, you're far more likely to see traffic-cops than Border Patrol personnel (I've never seen any of the latter, and I've driven fairly extensively in five land-border states--MT, ND, MN, MI, NY) even in MT and ND which have looooooooonnnnnnnnng stretches of near-empty interstate.

we got trailed around CO because we had FL plates. You're allowed to travel anywhere, but you still can get stopped by pesky police

Never knew they had em on I-10, I-19 has a checkpoint but then again I-19 ends in Nogales, AZ near the border =O

Now that I think of it, the only I-10 checkpoint I remember was in New Mexico. The others we encountered were on I-8 in California, SR 80 and SR 90 in AZ, and 70 in NM.

Also, I should make a correction re: passport. A green card holder only needs to show the green card (that is, non-USCs who are permanent residents don't need to show a passport but need to produce the GC). Everyone else needs to show a passport.

Must have been before Tucson or after Phoenix, cause there isn't one IN Tucson or between Tucson and Phoenix.

Hope you don't have to travel I-10 through Tucson anytime soon, it's a wreck atm though in one way it is better, only through traffic
