(visa were at the embassy yesterday sept 9th, now its in my good hands!)

wooohoooo! peeps i received my VISA just now! thank you lord and thank you all my vj fellows...my heart is pounding right now...am so very happy! :dance::dance::dance:

but guys, i am a bit confuse. how im gonna retrieve my passport from the visa packet? im afraid to touch it hahaha coz the WARNING! SIGN is pretty clear. do not open! and guys, why is the visa packet heavy? is it normal? haha! i can see some of our pictures that we sent to USCIS/advance file is in the pakect too. on the other side, i can see the "Immigrant Data Summary" and my passport, on the side is the "Warning Sign" with a small "Maligayang Pagdating sa Estados Unidos" thin book guide. again is it normal? sorry i know these questions are silly but im just so ecstatic :dance: and wondering same time if every one's visa is the same?

pls everybody help me! the packet is tightly sealed but the paper with the warning sign is not and the air21 plastic is tore up. is it normal?

lastly, i suppose how im feeling right now is not normal as well :rofl::bonk:

my honey dear, im coming home very soon! :star:(L)(F)

i meant the slim book guide is not being sealed as well as the warning sign...is it normal?

congrats!!!

it's okay to open the plastic envelope and retrieve your passport and other things but don't touch the yellow envelop. i saw my housemate when she got her visa and we open it up, except for the yellow one.
