Visit to Puerto Rico

[scorpian69]

Hi,

I am currently in USA and planning to visit Puerto Rico for vacation. My understanding is there is no visa requirement for Puerto Rico and all you need is US Driving license but I read somewhere that this is only for US nationals and not for Visa holders.

I am on H1B. My H1B is expired and extension is currently in process. I need to go for stamping if I leave the country.

Can I visit with expired visa ? Will this create any problem in re-entry?

Appriciate your help with this.

Thanks

You don't need a visa; you just need some proof you're legal. Your extension of status receipt should be able to do that.

How to visit then if don't need any visa?

A visa is needed when you are trying to re-enter the US from a foreign nation. Since Puerto Rico is not a foreign nation, you do not need a visa to travel between Puerto Rico and the US. All you need is an evidence that your status is legal, which the H1 extension petition receipt does.
