## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands: explicit residual visitor-visa baseline** (Visa required)
  The federal documentary regulation expressly requires a valid visa of each arriving nonimmigrant alien except its stated classes; this cohort is outside the U.S., Canadian, Compact and VWP cohorts.
  - This ordinary short-visitor baseline requires a valid unexpired U.S. nonimmigrant visa and passport. A qualifying residence, special document, crew, transit, emergency waiver or individual immigration classification is not normalized into passport-wide access.
  - No eVisa, routine visa-on-arrival or universal electronic authorization is established. Consular issuance and final CBP admission remain required.
