Interview - mailing passport from Tokyo Embassay

[highritz 0]

Hello Everyone,

My wife has an interview scheduled for an IR-1 visa at the US Embassy in Tokyo. Some of the information the Tokyo Embassy homepage has suggested she should bring a special self-addressed prepaid envelope available at post offices throughout Japan (this envelope is called a LetterPack 500).

Does anyone know if this old information, or whether or not it is still a required thing?

I think we'll get one and bring it just in case, but I was curious to know if was actually necessary.

Thanks in advance!

The information is old and you now don't have to bring it...

The homepage says

If you paid the visa application fee through the new system after March 23, 2012, there is no additional charge for courier return of your passport; all costs are included in your MRV application fee.

I didn't bring it and it was all good.

Good Luck!!
