My lovely fiancée didn't notice the warning on the envelope that's marked "to be opened by immigration only" and she opened the envelope. This is the envelope giving with the K1 visa that she brings to America.

Any ideas on what we should do?

Thanks

I would call the embassy first. Perhaps they can give her another with an envelope and seal it up. I am sure there is something you can do.

This happened to some other folks. I think MistyB is one. They called the embassy and told them what happened. Then they had to go to the embassy and have it repackaged.

I hope this is the case and thank you for the info! She lives 20 minutes from the embassy so it's easy for her to go there, and we still have 7 weeks before she gets here.

I will email the embassy and see what they say.

Love hurts

When you live an ocean away

When you change your sleep schedule to catch a few more moments

When you really need to be held and you have to imagine whilst your partner describes it

When you constantly refresh the USCIS website to see if you're getting any closer

Love Loves

When it repays you with the love of your life

When God finally answered your biggest prayer

When you can live life again in the real world but still have that eternal connection

When you wake up for to the beginning of the rest of your life with the person you fought so hard for

When you love somebody that much

You'll do anything

Can you seal it back up, or did you rip it open and mess up the envelope.
