Is flight between Puerto Rico and US mainland considered domestic or international
Upvote:4
Travel from the US mainland to Puerto Rico is definitely considered "domestic", and is no different to travel to any US state. I have made this trip several times over the past ~10 years as a non-citizen, and know several other people that have as well (US citizens and greencard holders).
As with any US domestic trip, it is ALWAYS recommended (and generally, legally required) for a non-citizen to carry their passport and/or greencard with them. US law allows immigration staff to confirm a persons valid immigration status any time they are within 100 miles of a US border, and that obviously includes all of Puerto Rico, and spot checks are carried out on occasion. That's not to say yours will be checked (and certainly, mine never was) - but the odds of being checked are probably higher than in most other airports given Puerto Rico's geographic location (close to Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic).
Puerto Rico also has some additional customs rules that mainland states may not have, and bags (and potentially, passengers) can be subject to additional checks on arrival. Again, I've never experienced this personally.
As you will not be entering or leaving the US, such a trip will have no impact on your AOS/AP/EAD processing.
