The Caribbean - No VISA needed

I am recently married to a foreign national who won't be able to "leave the country" until she gets her green card. Are there places in the Caribbean that are not conidered a "foreign country"???

Puerto Rico (including Culebra and Vieques) is obviously a part of the United States and you won't find any immigration checks. You just need your normal drivers license or whatever i.d. you use to fly around on an airplane within the 50 states.

The U.S. Virgin Islands are also part of the USA but are considered a port of entry on your return, so you would need documentation to get back stateside. Passport works, drivers license + birth certificate works, imagine this might be a more complicated destination for your spouse.

Enjoy Puerto Rico! :)

Also check out Hawaii - it's not the caribbean, but it's definitely tropical.

I have a friend (US citizen) who's going to the St. Thomas (US Virign Islands). She's getting some conflicting information on what documentation she needs to get back to the mainland.

Although it's clear she doesn't need a passport, there's a question as to whether she needs other proof of US citizenship (passport, birth certificate, etc.).

I've answered this question in post #2. If you require official reinforcement of my answer, please visit the US Virgin Islands Dept of Tourism (http://www.usvitourism.vi/en/home/vi_tt_before_visit.html)
