Puerto Rico cannot be considered to join as a US State until the people of Puerto Rico vote to petition the US Congress to join the union. To date three attempts (1967, 1993 and 1998) have not gathered the majority vote (50%+1) to petition Congress for statehood. However the last two elections have been very, very close with less than 4% of the vote making the difference between status quo and statehood. The current governor of Puerto Rico (Luis Fortuño) has submitted a proposal to the Puerto Rican legislature to hold yet another plebiscite (statehood election) in August of 2012 which would ask "Do you want territorial status or something else?" If the vote comes out "Something Else" then there would be another election on November 6, 2012 asking several status options with Statehood, Independence and some sort of free association as options.
