HI there - I found this:

"At the conclusion of the interview, the beneficiary leaves their passport and the Consular Officer will give them an idea of what to expect next. A final namecheck is done before the visa is issued, and the Machine Readable Immigrant Visa (MRIV) will be glued in the passport and returned by courier, mail or be picked up in person. The Mysterious Brown Envelope, which holds all the visa application materials, will be sent with the passport and this Envelope must NOT BE OPENED before travel.

Some Consulates mail one large envelope containing the passport and the sealed MBE. The beneficiary may open the outside envelope to get to their passport."

My husband and I intend on traveling Asia AFTER our interview and BEFORE traveling around Asia. If we get the passport in a sealed brown envelope that is not to be opened, how are we supposed to get our passport? Is the first place of travel after leaving the country you were living in have to be America?

Passport is NOT in the sealed envelope... but in the outside envelope

YMMV

If we get the passport in a sealed brown envelope that is not to be opened, how are we supposed to get our passport?

Let me say again... it is NOT in the sealed envelope... you can get the passport WITHOUT opening the sealed envelope
