Hello to all. I had another question i was wondering which envelope that my fiance recieves is he not suppose to open? Its not any of the 3 or 4 packets correct? I am thinking it might be the one he gets after his medical exam. Is there any other he is not suppose to open? Thanks again

Correct: the medical report is to be delivered seal intact to the consulate/embassy. Afterwards, the consulate will issue the visa papers in a "mysterious" brown envelope with one corner clipped. This is to be left sealed until the USCIS inspects it at POE/PFI.

yes the brown envelope covered in plastic recieved from the medical is not to be opened ( x rays) then after your interview when your visa is delievered u will be given another large brown envelope this is also not to be opened ( for customs agents at POE ).

Correct. But to add to the confusion, at least in our case, the consulate used one big brown envelope to send both the (slightly smaller) mysterious "do not open" brown envelope and the passport with its visa affixed. So we had to open the outer brown envelope to get to the passport and the inner brown envelope.

The mysterious brown envelope is clearly and prominently marked "Do not open". The outer brown envelope containing the passport was not so marked, and was addressed to the immigrant. So it IS pretty clear to anyone with a basic command of English. But I remember another couple being so worried about the warnings they'd heard about the mysterious brown envelope that they were afraid to open their outer envelope to get the passport/visa out.
