Hi all,

I have a friend that brought her fiancee to US based on K1 visa. They received a package on the day of the interview that they weren't supposed to open, but at the POE they didn't ask for the package.

So now, they are wondering what they need to do with it.

Do you have any idea? My guess is that at the point of entry, the immigration officer should have asked for this package.

Also, can you advise if he needs to apply for SSN before marriage? They are planning to get married in a month. The point of entry was a month ago.

Thank you very much

Andreea

They should just hang onto it until they have gone through AOS. Several other members, even some long time VJ'ers have reported not being asked for their medical packet during entry through CBP, no ill will came from it. But they are best off just hanging onto it incase they are asked to present it at any one of their future filings and interviews through the remainder of the process.

They definitely should have taken it.

I'd keep the package sealed and take it with my passport to a CBP deferred inspection site:

They can correct/amend mistakes made at POE.
