Will do. Thats what I did. Just took out the passport... then sealed it again

There was a second step that Hank explained but maybe you missed it. He took his visa packet (still in the original plastic pouch minus the visa) and put it back in the bag that the visa packet was delivered in and then wrapped it tight and taped it. That insured it had protection until such time he arrived at their POE. Just an added protection he though you should know.

Isnt that overkill? They will have a hardtime opening the package at the POE?

Anyways. Thank you for the advise. The plastic envelope is quite thick. But still thank you for the advise hank and greenbaum

Tell me, if your in a waiting room at your POE for 4 plus hours as they sort through your envelope because the inner envelope is torn completely down one side "is it overkill"? I'm just saying. Good luck.

We left the DO NOT OPEN envelope in the plastic bag that 2GO delivered it in, wrapped that tight and taped it.. agent at POE had it tore apart in 2 seconds.
