Sealed Envelop along with the immigrant visa

[Ahmad 001 1]

Does the embassy gives the sealed envelop along with the visa on passport for submitting it at the port of entry at USA ?

Yes and at port of entry the Officer will open it

Depends of the Consulate. The mayors now just give you the Stamped visa in your passport and your case information is sent electronically to CBP. They will let you know

Depends on the consulate, many have switched to electronic forms, so you only get a piece of paper saying everything is sent electronically, and then they look everything up on the computer at POE. My wife and I had to lug the folder to the POE back in 2019, but now Thailand is electronic, no more folders or packets.

I’ve seen fewer people talking about the sealed envelope and more about the electronic submission. It depends but I think the envelope has been something they’ve been phasing out over the past few years.
