Question

Do they check visa for traveling to Hawaii? because my visa has expired (I am F-1 student in U.S.).?

Answer 1

Hawaii is just one of the states.  No visa checking from elsewhere in the US.  Please renew your visa and get legal.

Answer 2

No.  Hawaii is part of the US.  If you have a direct flight from the mainland to the US (not stopping in a third country), you do not need any visa.  However, if your name is on any travel watch lists as a result of you staying in the country on an expired visa, then they may stop you for that reason.  But I highly doubt this.

Answer 3

how long has your visa expired ?

this is what USCIS says :

How long may I stay on my F-1 student visa?

When you enter the United States on a student visa, you will usually be admitted for the duration of your student status. That means you may stay as long as you are a full time student, even if the F-1 visa in your passport expires while you are in America. For a student who has completed the course of studies shown on the I-20, and any authorized practical training, the student is allowed the following additional time in the U.S. before departure:

F-1 student - An additional 60 days, to prepare for departure from the U.S. or to transfer to another school.

have you done any proceeding to adjust your student stay ? or enlisted in another school ?

it all depends on how long your visa has expired ?

As an example regarding duration of status, if you have a visa that is valid for five years that will expire on January 1, 2001, and you are admitted into the U.S. for the duration of your studies (often abbreviated in your passport or on your I-94 card as "D/S"), you may stay in the U.S. as long as you are a full time student. Even if January 1, 2001 passes and your visa expires while in America, you will still be in legal student status. However, if you depart the U.S. with an expired visa, you will need to obtain a new one before being able to return to America and resume your studies. A student visa cannot be renewed or re-issued in the United States; it must be done at an Embassy or Consulate abroad.

and yes Hawaii, is a state of the US .

Answer 4

Your visa was only required to be valid for your entry into the US.  As long as you remain in the US (and yes, Hawaii is still in the US) and have properly maintained your student status, then there is no problem.  Be certain that your I-94 (white card) is still in your passport.
