After the interview and once the Visa has been approved - the beneficiary is sent a package (some countries it's to be picked up by the beneficiary) - inside the package is their passport with the visa inside and another envelope that says "Do Not Open" - this envelope is to be carried on the airplane and given to the CBP officer when clearing the POE.

It contains (for those terribly curious) most of the forms etc that you have sent in to this point (so nothing you haven't already seen before).

Ok will he be able to pick this up at the consulate he interviews at as he will be in kenya and he lives in mauritus he is planning to fly from kenya here as soon as he gets his visa. Im hoping he can do this instead of having to fly home and wait as it is more expensive for us

[Jamie&Harry 1]

Can't answer specifically - some valuable information can be found on the VJ Embassy Section (for Kenya) and also on the VJ Embassy member's reviews section . You might find your answer plus a lot of other interesting things.

YEs, under no circumstances open that sealed envelope. Many people make that mistake AND THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS telling you not to. In our case the courier warned my K1 not to open it!

You're almost there! Next stop fun and games at the medical exam.

You mean aside from the part that says "TO BE OPENED ONLY BY UNITED STATES IMMIGRATION OR PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE OFFICER," often in multiple languages?

ok now I have a question do you have to fly into a POE or can you drive to one, see my fiance is in Mexico and I think it would just be easier to drive there and get him since we only live about 10 hrs away from the border???

No reason why not. Keep in mind that they are most likely are not always prepared to do that sort of thing at border crossings. They may make you wait while they review their procedures. LOL!

So you will drive to the border, park your car in Mexico, walk through Immigration into the US, then what? Leave her sit and then you cross the border again to retrieve your car?

Driving up with a person to be processed in the car may make them sweat a little bit.

I think I would seriously make a phone call and get a better opinion.

Once she is processed, I believe that she will need a I-131 Advance Parole before crossing back into Mexico. Hence, stuck in USA until you marry, file for AOS, and get the advanced parole.

Bobby-Umit confirmed it is magic popcorn inside! You get it wth the visa, it will be the one that says DO NOT OPEN, put that thing away and especially keep it away from non-English reading people! How many times haev we seen posted "my fiancees Uncle, who cannot read English, opened the DO NOT OPEN envelope...now what?"

A POE is a POE.
