As you will obviously need your passport for travel it is fine to remove it from the plastic pouch however you must not open the sealed envelope containing all your documents for entry into the United States.

Good Luck

Don't panic! You need to take the passport out to show the check in agent at the airport for your flight.

Do not open the paper envelope. Put it in a plastic document wallet if you have one to keep it safe until you arrive. Even a tear in the envelope can be a problem.

Thanks vj friends for the response.. I really appreciate it.. i felt so worried about it, the envelope is in tact and not opened, i just opened the top of the plastic pouch (3-4 inches) to get my passport and seal it back again.. i do hope it won't be a problem

You are fine, just don't open the document envelop. Are you done with your CFO/GC seminar? You need to do that.
