Make her check again...

I received a brown envelope from the embassy (big one), and the real brown envelope was inside, my passport outside the sealed one. Well, actually both were sealed, and both were brown.

I got really nervous, thinking that they had screwed up, getting my passport inside the brown envelope. But there's two.

Update: it's just as Rob&Ana described. Although the outside envelope states do not open etc. etc., those restrictions actually apply to the envelope inside.

Thanks Clownies and Rob&Ana

My fiancee received her brown package (MBE?) which says do not open etc. etc. However, her passport is also inside the package. Obviously, she can't leave the country without the local immigration officer inspecting her passport. Any suggestions?

Help! My fiancee received her brown package which says do not open etc. etc. However, her passport is also inside the package. Obviously, she can't leave the country without the local immigration officer inspecting her passport. Any suggestions?

We've received the NOA2 and a letter from the National Visa Center saying they've received the NOA2 and are sending the package to the embassy. We haven't gotten the Packet 3 yet but is it already possible to get a medical exam? Embassy: Manila, Philippines.

Thanks in advance.

Damn !!! Good news for those waiting since August/September then

Congratulations !!

Thank you very much!

Our petition was one of those that were delayed due to background checks. There used to be a thread on it but I can't find it anymore. In November they told us to wait 6 months. In December they told us to wait another 6 months. I hope our approval provides courage to others who are going through background checks, especially those who received NOA1s around the same time we did.

To me and my fiancee, this is a miracle. I don't know what the forum rules are on discussing religion, but my fiancee and I are Catholic and we did go to a pilgrimage in November and prayed novenas the past couple of weeks. If anyone wants a copy of the prayers, please PM me. Thanks.

Hi everyone. I received an e-mail stating that my petition was approved (after 5 months of waiting). I'll save the rejoicing til I actually receive the NOA2 in hand (as opposed to an email)... Here's an updated list for now.
