'''Stateside Virgin Islanders''' are [[West Indian Americans]] who hold [[US citizenship]] and who have migrated from the [[U.S. Virgin Islands]] to the [[continental United States]] and [[Hawaii]], and their descendants.

'''Stateside Virgin Islands Americans''' are [[West Indian Americans]] who hold [[US citizenship]] and who have migrated from the [[U.S. Virgin Islands]] to the [[continental United States]] and [[Hawaii]], and their descendants.


Persons born in the U.S. Virgin Islands are United States citizens, and as a result do not go through the legal immigration procedures a typical West Indies immigrant would. Virgin Islanders in the U.S. are considered part of the [[American Afro-Caribbean Community|Caribbean American]] community.
