Once my fiance is here can he fly to other parts of the USA?

So once my fiance is here and after we are married (and I send out all the papers so he can stay) will he be able to travel around the USA? I mean i know by car we can but now a days you have to fly everywhere with a passport even to other US states. If we go to like the virgin Islands for our honeymoon will it be a problem? I am just thinking where can we go for our well earned get away =D Any advice?

YES

There is NO restriction on DOMESTIC travel.

US Virgin Islands are fine as long as there is NO connections in any foreign country, and NO travel to NON US Territory.

Yep, as Yu and Dan said, there are no restrictions on domestic travel. You do NOT need a passport to fly within the US. If you go to the US Virgin Islands, you just need to make sure you do not have any stops out of the country as this can cause problems. Why not Hawaii instead, just to be safe, or wait until he gets advanced parole?

Her fiance will have to have a passport to travel within the US because it will effectively be his only acceptable ID. It concerns me the OP asks about the US, then mentions the Virgin Islands without specifying US Virgin Islands. The risk in such travel is that if there are any emergencies that require landing on another Island, he will have unintentially as it may be, left the US and not be allowed back in without AP.

For domestic travel, they'll only be looking at his passport, not stamping it.

You Will be asked for a passport when returning to the US mainland from the USVI. You DO NOT need to show a passport when returning from Puerto Rico. Why USVI but not PR? Dunno, but I live and travel in the caribbean and that's the way it is. In PR you go through the USDA check only, but USVI sends you through immigration.

If your paperwork is in order you should be ok though---as noted above they only look at the passport, no stamps.
