Can I travel between the U.S. and Puerto Rico while in H1B status, even though I don’t have a valid visa stamp?

Answer

Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. This generally would be considered domestic travel, and one typically would not need a valid visa “stamp;” just a valid ID to board the plane is all that normally would be needed. (23.Jan.2017)
