Hi VJ's

I need your help. My family are travelling to Miami from the UK and I would like to go and see them. However, I am getting mixed messages from immigration - my cases is currently pending - I had my biometric test and am awaiting my EAD and AS - the EAS is already over the 90 day period and they had advised me to get a temporary EAD.

My question is : can I travel to the Miami - as my visa which I received with K1 has expired. No one seems to know and immigrations are giving me the run around

Thanks in advance

As long as you don't leave the country, you should have no problems. From what you wrote, it sounds as though you're still in the country legally. The only time you should require a visa is when you're actually entering the country. Any other time, you'd just be using your passport as photo ID.

Conditions Removed! Ten-year green card received 6/24/2009. No more USCIS for a very long time.

I am only planning to travel to another state for the weekend - so you are saying I can use my passport as my K1 visa expired on 10 Feb - when I spoke to the lady at immigration she said i could not travel even though it is internally which I found strange

That's why they call it the 'misinformation line'.

We live on the border of Ohio and WV. If what that lady were telling you were true, then my husband would have been illegal about oh say, a hundred or so times.

Heck, we had to cross Ohio and go into Pennsylvania for his AOS interview.

This isn't a dictatorship... you are allowed to travel wherever you like within the US! They aren't going to say 'papers please' and lock you up because you don't have an EAD yet. If you're travelling by road you shouldn't need any official ID at all and if you're flying then your passport or your Drivers Licence will be just fine and nobody will try to look at the visa page to check on your status...
