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.

thanks ginalisa, at least i can relax now...good luck on your upcoming interview.

Congrats uniquecouple! So the beneficiary gets a US passport?
