K1 Visa Sealed Envelope

[vvvVein 7]

Not sure if im allowed to open this gray plastic opaque bag material?

I presume my passport is inside of it but it would be nice to check?

Is the sealed envelope inside this one?

The sealed envelope is inside the packaging, It'll say "Official business" or something on it. Just be careful not to tear it when you open the grey packet. Congrats on getting your visa!

Yes, open the plastic. You'll need your passport out. There should be another paper envelope inside that too.

How long did you wait to get back your visa

[vvvVein 7]

You can read my signature to work it out but i think it was 4 business days. Will vary greatly on from embassy to embassy and i dont hink London are usually quite this prompt. I think the standard wait is two weeks.

Lately they've been incredibly quick. Most people have waited a maximum of 5 business days.

I was staggered, to be honest!!

So ... what is actually in this mysterious K1 Visa envelope?

[nobbie 105]

all the paperwork you have already submitted plus your medical report. Apart from the medical nothing you have not already seen.

Nothing mysterious about it, just their way of using you to get the paperwork to the US. CBP will open it at POE, check it and they will forward it to USCIS.

Will CBP interrogate you about medical stuff? My fiancé had depression and self harm in the past but is OK now. Will they give him a hard time?

No they will not. They are immigration and customs. Please stop worrying about every mortal thing, there is no need.

I believe your fiancee has had his medical and passed so thats that for now. All CBP will do is check all the bits of paper are in the envelope and then stamp him in and forward the paperwork on.

Help, freaking out. I keep reading about the brown paper envelope needed at Port of entry which apparently contains original documents. All I was given at my interview was my chest xray disk and a white folded/sealed envelope that seems to refer to my medical. It's got the knightbridge stamp and date of expiry. Am I missing something or is this the correct envelope???

They send your entire immigration file for you to take to the US. They aren't through with it yet at the interview. It will come with the passport/visa.
