Dear all VJ family members

First of all thank you to you this website and all members of this forum.

This forum has been really helpful into my k-1 visa process.

I had may interview and been told it has been approved.

But i had not been hand over any sealed packet. Only thing i have been told is that I will receive my passport within 5 to 10 working days.

Do i need to contact them to find out about this sealed packet.

Also one more thing that I would like to travel to India and from there i will travel to USA. Can my port of entry can be any country.

Thank you in advance and once again for people spending their valuable time and help other VJ members.

your passport will be inside the sealed packet

Halfway correct....some embassies put the passport and sealed packet (the "mystery" packet you aren't allowed to open) both into a plastic package that you are allowed to open in order to retrieve your passport. You just can't tamper with the actual sealed envelope or the Immigrant Data Summary sheet stapled to it. (If your embassy gives you an IDS) Just saying because so many people on here ask if they're allowed to get their passport out of the sealed plastic bag.

Have fun in India/the US!

Thie process for London is explained in the K1 London Guide in this post called "After the Interview" http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/474161-london-k1-a-complete-guide/?p=6741253. Do take the time to click the link and read it.

You may visit another country. Your POE immigration process happens at your first stop in the USA.
