Do NOT travel domestically IF:
- Your authorized stay as a nonimmigrant is expired even if
- You have timely filed an Application for Adjustment of Status (AOS) based on Spousal Petitions, Family and Employment-based Petitions and Asylum Applications!
“Over the past few days, AILA members have reported an increase in clients being detained by DHS at U.S. airports during domestic travel. This is occurring across the country, including in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, New Jersey, Texas, and Virginia.
Impacted individuals include those whose lawful status has expired but may have timely filed adjustment of status applications or asylum applications which would allow them to be in a period of authorized stay. Reports include individuals being detained who do not have criminal records and who have valid work authorization or advance parole documents.” (AILA Doc. No. 26072702)
