So can I go to Hawaii during Adjustment of Status?

[helloagain007 2]

This is very confusing.

How long to get the green light to travel after adjusting status?

You can go to Hawaii while your AOS is pending, yes, but be sure you don't have a layover outside of the US.

If you don't have any Advance Parole document or Green Card, you should keep your travel plans inside the US. Hawaii is a US state.

I've read on this board that travel must be within a 100 mile radius of both borders of the 48 contiguous states.

Not so. You can travel freely within all 50 states and US territories.

Uhm nope. Once you have your green card you can travel anywhere. Before that you can travel anywhere in the USA, just make sure you're only in the USA.

Can you post a link to where it says this on the forums?

I have traveled from one side of the US to the other without a green card or AP or anything when I first got here and only used my US drivers license to board the air planes.

Untrue, David and I spent our honeymoon before the green card in Hawaii. It was lovely : )

Make sure you double check before you travel (IF you travel) to any of US "territories" (Puerto Pico, for example).

Your opening question (in your first post, not the title of that post) refers to travel "after adjusting status," which means that you have your green card and won't need anything else -- except your passport if you're traveling internationally, and a re-entry permit if the duration of your international travels so requires.

Your quoted statement just above might (in a fuzzily-remembered way) relate to the advice about keeping your most up-to-date, complete documentation with you if you encounter an internal CBP checkpoint within a 100-mile radius of either U.S. border.

The question about "can we travel to Hawaii" is asked quite often here. The forum-search tool is your friend. For example, in the Working & Traveling forum, this thread was active within the past 25 hours:

Your success and your comfort level throughout your visa journey depends on your ability to read accurately and to interpret that information literally.

FYI: Hawaii is the 50th state. And if you come here make sure you visit my Island of Maui.
