"Contiguous territory" means a country whose border touches, is
contiguous to, the U.S. border. They are only two countries - Canada and
Mexico.
The Code of Federal Regulations at 8 CFR 286.1(a) defines
"adjacent islands" to include Anguilla, Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas,
Barbados, Barbuda, Bermuda, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman
Islands, Cuba, Curacao, Dominica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada,
Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Marie-Galante, Martinique, Miquelon,
Montserrat, Saba, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Christopher, Saint Eustatius,
Saint Kitts-Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Maarten, Saint Martin, Saint
Pierre, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and
Caicos Islands, and other British, French and Netherlands territory or
possessions bordering on the Caribbean Sea.
Can all the US Visa holders travel to "Contiguous territory" or "adjacent islands" for automatic Visa revalidation?
The answer NO.
- Only holders of F, J, H, O and E status in the U.S. to can enter "contiguous territory" (Canada and Mexico) and return to the U.S. without a currently valid visa stamp in the passport.
- holders
of F and J status in the U.S. are eligible to enter "adjacent islands" (islands in
the Caribbean except Cuba) and return to the U.S. without a currently
valid visa stamp in the passport.
Note - that travel to
adjacent islands
applies only to those currently in F or J status. It does not apply to
those currently in H or O or any other status.
