Hi Everyone,

 

Wondering if it's safe to travel within the US while having a pending status for my husband's i-485.

My husband and I have been sitting tight since we arrived to the states on his K1 and we're going a bit stir crazy.

Would be nice to take a little vacation to Florida or Hawaii but would certainly not want to take any risks!

 

Had anyone had trouble traveling within the status?? Advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

THANKS

You can travel within the US.

Just make sure you check your case status online or have someone check your mail in case you get RFE or interview invite or any communication from USCiS.

I hear you on that! My husband and I have been going a bit stir crazy as well. We haven't had to remain in one place for a long time! But as far as I know, we can travel around while it is pending. Basically if he doesn't have to show a passport and it is domestic, he is good to go! We are considering traveling in the next few months around the US too.

Ok! Great to hear. I'd be happy with a quick trip to the canyons or palm beach. ANYTHING! Enjoy your summer. :)

Domestic travel isn't an issue. Always carry documentation just in case.

Pinned thread:

Hawaii is wonderful .Personally, though, my wife and I waited for AP for a Hawaii trip just in the extremely rare event that the flight got diverted and landed outside the US.
