Received passport & visa with immigrat packet ripped from DHL!!! CR1?s

[Jay HisWife Newby 1]

Well my husband & i went for his passport with visa inside and the immigrant package to give DOHS at the airport POE. But when we opened the DHL packet, inside was the passpost and a big packet of papers. But whats so strange is the top left side had been cut out in a triangular shape so i could see all the papers inside...im wondering if this is normal because i know on USCIS.gov that they say specifically dont open the packet or else a fee will be charged at the airport! But in my case its somewhat opened already! What should i do? Also they issued the visa 2 days before our 2 year anniversary. And it ended up being a CR1 visa. But i was reading online and it says i have to file to remove conditional residence 90 days prior to our 2 year anniversary or they can have the green card revoked!!!! How can i do that when he hasnt even reached in the US yet (we are goin next week) and our visa was only issued two days before our 2 year mark???

Remove condition is for those living in the US, if he arrives here after the 2 year anniversary he will get the permanent green card, make sure he mentions at the POE that he got married two years ago. If the brown envelope is open he has to go to the consulate in order for the US Consulate to issue a new one.

That triangular cutout is normal, as they usually are; just dont open anywhere else. It does not matter that your visa says CR1, what matters is the time you make your POE into the US. Obviously its going to be after your 2-year anniversary. Just make sure to point out to the immigration officer there that you are now beyond your 2 year anniversary, and they will make the necessary adjustments to make sure you get your 10-yr GC.

Remember you will be required to pay the $165 fee to have your green card processed. You are encouraged to pay this fee before you go even though it can be done getting the US. Just remember that the card will not be processed until payments are made.

Congratulations!

I had my yellow envelope cut out like triangle like yours when the lady in Window 5 at the US embassy in Jakarta handed to me. You should be just fine.
