Stateside Virgin Islanders are Virgin Islanders who live in the U.S. states. Virgin Islanders are West Indian people born in (or from) the U.S Virgin Islands or the British Virgin Islands.
The U.S Virgin Islands are an unincorporated territory of the United States. Individuals born in the U.S. Virgin Islands on or after January 17, 1917 are U.S. citizens. As a result, U.S. Virgin Islanders and do not go through the legal immigration procedures that most other West Indian immigrants would. However, the British Virgin Islands are a British Overseas Territory. As a result, British Virgin Islanders are required to go through legal immigration procedures when entering the United States.
