Hi folks,

I recently just married my fiance over a week ago. I came here on a K1 visa on March 1st. We are still waiting for our marriage certificate in the mail. We are planning on visiting his family in New York (we're in Florida now) at the end of May. We are flying there. Just wondering will there be any problems with me just using my passport?

There will be no problem if you travel in US with your passport. My wife has Florida ID for travel in US without showing her passport.

Nope doesn't matter. I used my passport for ID to fly from Utah to California for our honeymoon. The only problem would be crossing the border and trying to get back into the US.

11/09/2016 - i-751 sent

11/14/2016 - NOA1

12/08/2016 - Biometrics

06/04/2018 - i-751 approved

Just remember that the name on the ticket must match the name in your passport. The TSA goon is only concerned that you have a government issued ID, it is on the approved list of IDs, and that your boarding pass name and ID name match. As a Canadian citizen, you can use a Canadian DL according to the TSA website.

Good luck,

Dave

As a K-1 admitee, you can travel anywhere in the United States you like. Technically as a non citizen you are supposed to have your passport and visa on your person at all times, but if you have a US state issued driver's license or non driver ID, nobody will question it.

Just don't cross the border into another country without your green card or AP because that will be the last US border crossing you will make with this visa.
