So my wife had our interview yesterday at the embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia (they refused to let me, the USC, inside) and her visa has been approved. Within the next 48 hours we should have it in hand and be ready to purchase our tickets home to the USA! I have heard about a sealed envelope of documents we are supposed to hand over once we reach customs in the United States. We are flying into JFK airport, and I just had a couple of quick questions:

1. What is inside of this envelope that it is sealed, and we are not allowed to open it until we hand it over to CBP?

2. What can we expect once we hand it over? Do they ask us questions, isolate us in a separate room?

3. Any additional information about the remaining portion of the process is appreciated, I relay haven't seen too much information about this stage.

Thanks an good luck to everyone,

Rob and Mtvarisa
