Passport with visa went back STAPLED?

[themartinez 1]

You should be fine. They were very inconsiderate about it, since many passports have an electronic back cover nowadays, but it should still be valid, and you won't face problems with the immigration in the US since the visa is ok and the packet wasn't opened.

I got an entry form stapled to my Romanian passport in the past. Nobody said anything and I entered US with the same passport many times since then.

Anyone? I'm sorry, I'm just seriously worried

Te and Je, was yours stapled on the back cover? Her vida is fine, on page 10 haha, the those two holes in the back cover were just to stick it to the envelope holding the package that she hasn't opened.

Thanks for the reassuring replies!

Yeah...even worse mine has four holes. Don't worry ...nothing is gonna happen.... I didn't have any problem in my port of entry. It will be ok.

Hi chaoticlogic,

For some reason I got staples in my passport too, now I don't exactly remember if it was before or after my K1 visa was put in but I never had any problem with it. They never asked about it, it might be common

There is no issues about the condition of your passport. Two holes wont matter

[scariaenator 0]

You do not have to worry about the staple holes. Your passport and visa is still valid, and you can travel without any issues. My dad have 2 passports (1 is expired with a valid visa and 2 is renewed passport), he stapled the back of new passport to the front of old passport, and traveled with those. So you are good to go. Keep the envelope sealed and secured, the immigration officer is going to check the packet on arrival at US airport.

I think you will be fine.,.,just staple marks.,,.not the ""hole punch"" they use when they issue a new passport, just went through that at a Philippine Outreach program.,.,,got the new passport, and put 1/4 inch holes all over her old one.

I think you are ok.,.,.,.,.,.

The CBP agents might not even handle or touch the back cover of the passport. They're interested in the identification value and the contents. In your instance, these were unaffected.
