Hello everyone,

So after a long time of waiting my Fiancee was finally ready to travel back to me to the US after getting her K-1 visa. As we were in the airport today they told us that she cannot travel unless she has the sealed manilla envelope THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HER at the embassy the day of the interview

They only gave her a few medical documents including a lost of the vaccinations and lung X-Rays. The day of the interview my fiancee took the manilla folder that they told her not to open and she gave it to the person working at the consul. They DID NOT return to her the envelope.

Has this happened to anyone else?? What can we do? Is it absolutely necessary to have that envelope when entering?

We are currently in Bogota since we missed all our flights today. Please let me know what we should do! Thanks!

Mitchell

So she got her visa directly at the embassy? That in itself is unusual, normally it gets sent by courier, together with the envelope.

I have never heard of anyone getting the sealed envelope at the interview. Usually it is sent after the interview and approval. Are you sure what they gave you was the visa and passport and not something else? How long has it been since the interview?

She turned in a sealed envelope to the consulate? You mean her medical exam documents that they have you take to the K-1 visa interview? And she was given back a copy of her vaccination sheet(DS-3025) and x-ray? That all seems normal. The x-ray and copy of the DS-3025 are hers to keep.

When was she given back her passport with the actual K-1 visa affixed inside it? Usually it it sent by some courier service(I believe Colombia used DHL), and you pick up it from them when ready. it would contain the passport with K-1 visa affixed inside, plus the sealed envelope she is turn over at her POE.
