F-1 student with expired visa but active I-20 — is it safe to travel to Hawaii?
Hi! I’m currently in the U.S. on F-1 status. My F-1 visa in my passport is expired, but my I-20 is active, I’ve maintained my student status, and I’m registered full-time for the upcoming semester. I’m planning a trip from New York to Hawaii and back, with no international layovers or stops outside the U.S. I understand that an expired visa is generally an issue when trying to re-enter the U.S., but since Hawaii is domestic travel, I wouldn’t be leaving the country. Has anyone traveled to Hawaii in a similar situation (expired F-1 visa but valid/active I-20)? Did you have any issues with TSA or immigration checks? What documents did you bring with you?
