puerto rico: I'm planning on doing a J1 work summer visa in the US but Im wondering is it possible to travel or work in Puerto Rico while I have the visa, I understand it is American territory but not quit shure on the laws regarding this matter as I'm aware it is not a state, any help would be great.|||Yes you can.|||All the government workings of PR are exactly as that of a state. Think of it no differently than if it was a state. Anything you could do in a US state you can do in Puerto Rico. Its a great place to visit, have fun!
