The Visa Packet.. Yellow Envelope

Hi everyone,

Now I am worried. My flight is on Sunday, and I am worried about my yellow envelope -- the visa packet from US embassy.

Remember it has an opened part or a notch at one corner? I just noticed now that it has a half centimeter torn. I swear I did not attempt to open it. It probably was caused by me when I forced to put it in a package it does not fit well last night. But not that I want to open it. Stupid of me.

Can someone tell if this happened to them, and if they encounter any problems?

Is it still possible to have US embassy replaced the envelope for me even my flight is on Sunday?

Thanks

Hi! I experienced that too on what you experience right now... I was so worried that my visa packet was torn by 1 cm. I want to bring it back to USEM so that they can reseal it but I didn't do that because it takes time for them to reseal it... When I was on the plane I was so nervous because of my visa packet has a torn but thanks God when I arrived at LAX, the immigration officer was so nice.... I didn't say anything about my packet that has a torn and he didn't ask me either.

Good luck and have a safe trip to you!

Hi, thanks for your reply. That made me feel well. How did you know though that it will take time to get it resealed.

I asked about that question here in VJ and there were so many members replied me that it takes time to reseal it.

I asked about that question here in VJ and there were so many members replied that it takes time for USEM to reseal it because they have to check the documents inside the visa packet per page before transferring them to another envelop. There is no way to know when you will get your visa packet back.

It went fine. The officer immediately tore the envelope.
