I won't interrupt this thread anymore, but wanted to say, Davdah, I'm not too excited about this election anymore. Much has transpired - don't know what to believe, what not to believe, but it has turned sort of dirty. So, I was just teasing about the bet. I could care less at this point. Oh, and to bring you current, Iperson switched to Obama.

Welcome back, just the same, even if on a limited basis.

JSalas, Davdah is correct about flight diversion.

If you have your passport still I would suggest in taking that too. Your immigration docs you must take, to prove status.

My plane coming back nearly diverted elsewhere as our plane had mechanical problems and was losing pressure or something and we had to fly at a unusal height. Oxygen was not that good on plane I can tell you, rather frightening.
We were half way towards the Mainland of US but they decided it was best after all to turn around and go back to HI.
The pilot apparently was trying to find clearance on where to land that was nearer, so we could have ended up on foreign territory.

I flew ATA..which now no longer run thankfully..at the airport there were 2 other planes that also had mechanical problems, one where the door wouldn't shut properly! eek

However saying all that, domestic flights do not go through the same areas as international ones.
There isn't the usual ID checks like we do entering the US.
I had expired ID, and even flew on a different last name, and it didn't seem to be an issue.

My son flew on his passport as he had no other ID.

We were in the middle of AOS. Our visa's had expired. No GC, expired work permit, and new and old passport at British Embassy.
My husband of course used just his DL.

Airline told me I could just use a DL if I had one, but I didn't.
However as you are a Citizen of another country and not of this one, I would take a passport if you can and your immigrations docs.

Alternatively..I believe you can apply for AP under TPS?
You don't need it, but I guess maybe handy if you did ever divert to another territory.
Something to look into anyway.

Uh-oh, hope this isn't bad news. Well, if you want some fun, go read the Avatars for Caribbeanman thread - lots of good stuff in there - lol! That's our 'play' thread. Happy reading!

Oh great, now you tell me after I posted my comments about him (lol). She will be bearing her fangs yet again.

The news isn't anything to do with what brought me here. On that front all is well and good. There is another group of people who are in for a big surprise. Hey, sprint. Hows the water heater?

Hey Davdah I've answered you on avatar thread.

Sprint_girl07; what's AP???

Oh if you get a chance to Island hop..check out Kauai..imo its the prettiest island, and romantic

Oh, also don't bother about getting those flowers (Lei greeting) ordered upon arrival, its expensive, and flowers not as good.
Airport sells them them cheaper, and usually you get some free when you arrive at a hotel.

BUt if you want the experience, then its worth it I guess. It's not what it used to be, usually its just one guy calling out your name at the gate and sings a little or just says Aloha and puts flowers around your necks.

You can only get these greetings by ordering them in advance, and its not that cheap.

Ap is Advanced Parole.

I think when I was there, the lei greeting was free - that was many, many years ago, though. I visited Maui and the Big Island. Never made it to Kauai, but I heard it is one of the prettiest islands of the bunch.

Sprint_girl07 isn't AP only if you plan to travel back to your original country?

AP is used to re-enter the US with.

I know that TPS requires it if you plan on leaving the US for vacation or whatever, but I don't know if it can apply to you or not.
It would be worth looking into though.

Yeah Proud, it is no longer free, and its a huge market out there now.

You have to order it within a certain amount of days too, most companies require it, to make sure it is set up right.

There are loads of sites on the web where you can order them.
When I went there were not that many people who get it anymore due to the price etc

Hotels give them free, and many places during the trip give them out too.
I got one inside of airport, near the lounges that was 3 times bigger, and quality of Leis were so much better. They lasted most of my vacation. Rooms smelt lovely

If you put them in fridge while you are out of room they last longer too.

And you call your self a ProudUSC. Get a grip on United States of America's geography. This now proves you are not natural, you are a converted breed from other country. Don't make us USC look bad by your stupid comments. Hawaii is a State, one of the 50 states in the Union.

I will like to go to Hawaii for my honey moon.
Do I need a green card??
Can I re-enter USA under TPS?
I know Hawaii is part of USA but it's overseas, I know before you could re-enter showing your DL - However the laws have changed.
Does anybody know????

Thanks,

Now that is interesting. So you are basically banned from USA. I wonder what crime did you commit. Give us your name and address so we can contact ICE.

I used the wrong word, you stupid moron. Are you perfect? Nope, didn't think so.

This doesn't apply for everybody:
I am new to this forum and have noticed a bunch of idiots posting non-sense comments... What is wrong with you people??
It should be a site for help not for stupid comments...
What a waste!!

PS: thanks for the helpful responses!

JSalas..Im sorry..we have some trolls in here right now, not usually like this.

Please come back ok..if you ever need anything else...hopefully next time the trolls would have been banned

Have a lovely Honeymoon
