Does the US ban on visitors from the Schengen area/UK also extend to Puerto Rico?
score:14
Accepted answer
Yes, the restrictions on entry to the United States for people who have been in the Schengen Area (or Mainland China, Iran, the UK, Ireland, or Brazil; see this question) also restrict entry to Puerto Rico, because Puerto Rico is part of the "United States" for immigration purposes.
INA 101(a)(38) (8 USC 1101(a)(38)) defines "United States" for the purposes of the Immigration and Nationality Act:
The term “United States”, except as otherwise specifically herein provided, when used in a geographical sense, means the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
