Hi, I'm Japanese aupair living in the US since April 2010 in J1 status. I am going to finish my aupair year in April 2012, so my visa and DS2019 will expire. I'd like to know if I can go on a cruise to Eastern Caribbean (Bahamas, US Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, and Puerto Rico) while I'm in Grace period. Is there any problems when I come back to the US on cruise? I even want to travel more after cruise in the US, but less than 30 days. Do I need to get ESTA?
