Is it safe to travel domestically within the US while my immigration status is pending?
While widespread stops are not commonly reported, they are possible. It is best to avoid optional travel. If you must travel, carry your passport, I-94, approval notices, and proof of your ongoing status (like pay stubs or transcripts).
