Title: Visa
Post by: Big N on September 30, 2013, 09:41:02 PM: If you're a foreigner, and you live in the US with an expired Visa, would you be allowed to board domestic flights from state to state.

Now granted, if my friend shows a non-expired foreign passport that should be okay i presume? Or how about showing their foreign form of id for example like a driver's license maybe. Luckily i booked a non-stop flight too to avoid additional hassle.

USA is not very interesting country for anyone except from trained professionals. UK is far better if you do some manual labor AND visa not an issue there.

That being said, TSA just don't check Visas. I looked "suspicious" to some agent yesterday and he examined my passport pretty carefully. Yet he did NOT check the visa. And this guy spent good one minute carefully examining my picture trying to make sure it is really me.

I think the best bet at this point is to call up an immigration attorney tomorrow and see what's what.

Yes. You just won't be able to get back in the country if you decide to leave
