Domestic travel with valid status
Has anyone from 19/39 recently travelled domestically with valid status? Did you encounter any issue with TSA or ICE?
I legally enterred into US with F1, then OPT, then TPS, and now H1B. No visa violations, no illegal presence but I did have out-of-status gap (but in period of authorized stay) between OPT -> TPS when USCIS was taking a long time to adjudicate my TPS. I also have a pending i485 based on marriage to USC spouse.
I travelled multiple times in 2024 and 2025, no issues. But I am seeing news of increased ICE arrests at airports, so I want to be mindful. My country’s TPS also recently ended, so I am scared ICE may just assume everyone in my country as out of status and detain me.
Thanks.
