TLDR: Is travelling to Puerto Rico considered overseas travel in the context of visa status?

Holding H1B now and pending a H1B correction. Lawyers asked me not to travel overseas. I want to visit Puerto Rico, and my driving license doesn't have real ID, so I have to use my passport to travel. I know PR is technically part of US, but I couldn't find a clear statement on any official website to say travelling to PR is domestic travel.

Best carry on suitcase?

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Is it worth hitting Bicester village? Don’t have a lot to shop. Do the stores (gucci, Burberry, likes) get popular retail store items. I’m only looking to get 3/5 pieces. Will be 12 days in London and currently have 2 days with nothing planned. It’s 1.5 hours one way from my hotel.
Could the time be better used to maybe visit Cotswold or York or some other places?

Baby Professional here - I was just given the second half of a promotion into Tier 2 for my company, on course for a Tier 3 promo in the next 6mo to 1yr. It's a smaller company and I believe they are willing to pay to grow my talent as I've already done very well with deliverables and all metrics thrown my way.

My questions is how much do I ask for at the Tier 3 promotion? Since they divided the Tier 2 promo into two smaller rasies, I've landed at 55K. I want to ask for an appropriate amount.
