A: Yes, you can travel to Puerto Rico with a valid work permit. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, and travel to and from Puerto Rico is considered domestic travel. Therefore, a work permit issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) should be sufficient for travel to Puerto Rico.

However, you should also carry a government-issued ID, such as a driver's license or passport, to comply with airline and TSA requirements. It's always a good idea to check with your airline for specific travel document requirements before your trip.
