Hi Guys,

My wife is on K1- visa and right now she is with me in states.

We are in the process of Filing her AOS very soon.

I know ,to travel outside the country she needs a travel document, but what about inside the country ?

Is she can take domestic flights inside USA ? anyone with this kind of experience ?

Thanks,

Not a problem to travel within the US. Yes bring passport and you can still travel once I94 expires (and it will expire before you get your EAD/AP card)- just bring a copy of your NOA1 from your AOS. I verified this with USCIS, as we traveled after we had applied for AOS and i94 was expired but had not received EAD/AP and it was no problem - they only checked passport

IF she has a government issued ID you can use that--I.E. DL, Learner's permit, EAD and GC of course once you receive them. Or you can use the passport. I would taske the I-94 out and 1)make a copy of it and 2) keep it in a safe place. TSA only checks that the ID name and the boarding pass name match. They are not there to enforce immigration law as that is not their jusidiction. That falls to a CBP employee. My wife travelled with me to several locations using her passport before the GC arrived. No problems at all. My MIL travelled with us to NYC using her passport with no problems.

Good luck,

Dave

Not all states will issue a state ID - Missouri will not because I94 expires in 90 days and they will not accept NOA from AOS - will only issue ID or DL with EAD. We just went through this process.

OP, if the I-94 has expired and you have not yet filed for AOS, try to avoid traveling by car within a 100-mile radius of either U.S. border, especially the southern. CBP has internal checkpoints, and the agents have zero sense of humor and are usually looking to nail people.

If you travel before you have received your NOA1 for AOS, carry a copy of your cover-letter (that you sent in with the AOS package).

If you travel after you have received your NOA1 for AOS, carry that (the original letter, not a copy).

In either event, carry a copy of your marriage certificate with you.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Check with your state to get a ID of some sort, did not see where you lived in your profile. Easiest way is to use a state id to travel in US.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Hi! I'm entered guam on a k1 visa, got married on august 24 then sent aos, ead and ap documents oct 8. My I-94 expires on oct 29. According to usps tracking, it hasn't been received yet so i'm just waiting on that. I've read that it's ok to travel to a different us state so long as i have my noa with me. I have booked a flight to atlanta to visit my mom and sister this oct 29. I have a connecting flight in narita, japan. Would that pose a problem with immigration? Also i will be staying in atlanta until dec 10 and i'm worried that it is possible that my biometrics appointment will be scheduled while i'm there. Any suggestions? Is it possible to walk in for biometrics in a state other than your place of residence?

I meant to say I entered Guam
