I'm having trouble understanding your question. Since your English appears to be limited, the best way to get your point across and understand the answer would be to post in your native language (Spanish, I assume) in the "Latin America, Mexico & the Caribbean" forum.

A company ID will not be sufficient for TSA screening. If your friend does not have a driver's license or state ID then the passport would be best.

Here's the link to the list of acceptable ID: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/acc..._documents.shtm

I think I understand your question, as I recently traveled to the US Virgin Islands via Puerto Rico.

Your friend has a passport from her home country with a B2 (visitor's visa) which is still valid but not for much longer. Since she is in California and wants to visit you in Puerto Rico, you wonder if she would encounter any problems, as she does not leave US territory.

Here's my answer to that.

She can fly from Los Angeles to Puerto Rico with her foreign passport and she would not have any problems. More important than the B2 is the I-94 card in her passport, however, because when she checks in again in Puerto Rico to back to Los Angeles, they will check that it is still valid.

Why do they do that, since Puerto Rico is US Territory? For one reason: people without a valid visa could have managed to travel from a foreign country to Puerto Rico, and now would want to travel from Puerto Rico to the US mainland. That's why they check.

What she needs is a valid passport, a valid B2 visa, and a valid I-94, even if it's only good for a few more days. With all of the 3, she should not encounter any problems as she is already within US territory and can move freely within the US territory as long as her I-94 is still valid.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
