Why not open the envelope and see if something is wrong with the thing inside... If none,probably the missing corner was just caused by improper handling,,,sometimes envelopes get crampled and torn and all that.

Congrats to you and goodluck! :star:

MikeeLucyForever,

:no::no: Never open the brown envelope coz only the US immigration officer can open it at your port of entry.

Congrats and have a safe trip!

Depends...The officer at my POE gave my x-ray because he said maybe the civil surgeon will ask for it for I-693.

I will ask the Immigration officer about it if they will keep it and forward it to USCIS later or not. Thank you all for the useful tips.
