IF YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR PASSPORT AND 'SECRET DOCUMENT PACKAGE' DELIVERED BACK TO YOUR HOUSE, DON'T OPEN IN IN HASTE!

I WAS A SPLIT SECOND AWAY FROM RIPPING OPEN THE IMPORTANT DOCUMENT PACKAGE THINKING IT HAD MY PASSPORT INSIDE, IT WAS 06:30 AND I WAS VERY EXCITED.

NOW I HAVE A FLIGHT AND A PASSPORT AND AN INTACT SPECIAL SECRET PACKET AND IT ONLY TOOK 5 DAYS TO GET BACK FROM THE EMBASSY!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS AND ON TO THE NEXT STAGE I GO!!!!

The package has all your papers immigration needs for review to allow your entry. If you tamper or open it voids the integrity of the process.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Sealed documents FROM the embassy to turn over to immigration. Then they are turned over to USCIS. It's all your paper files plus your medical results. Sealed so you can't tamper with them or change anything.
