Visa received from USEM Manila but partly opened/damaged

[JeWcHee 3]

Hi! After 12 days of waiting, my fiance finally got her visa. She received a clear plastic pouch containing her passport and the yellow envelope. But we are kinda worried because the yellow envelope was ripped diagonally on the corner, it was wrapped by a rubber band and where can we find the immigrant data summary? Is this normal? Should it be entirely sealed? I have seen the same issues in the forum, what can you say about this. Will this affect her arrival at the POE? Thanks.

Corner would be ripped diagonally thats normal, if there is more damage to envelope more that that then yes she needs to contact the embassy and they would issue a new envelope.

To be safe, I would recommend you to check with the consulate. After this all waiting time and hardship, you shouldn't have to give any chance for situations to delay her from being with you.

Good luck

My wife says that one corner of hers was cut also. No mention of it at POE.

[PAGE 11 14]

It is normal that the yellow packet is cut (I wouldn't say "ripped") diagonally at the upper left corner to show that there is a sheaf of papers inside. And there is no "immigrant data summary" for a K-1 visa.

If you are unsure, have it checked by USEM. Good luck and congratulations.
