helpsmilie.gifThis is totally freaking me out... Want to explode! Today my wife got her visa delivered by Air21. I went over with my wife all the precautions about not opening certain things...

Naturally, you have to open the Air21 packaging to get to the passport which you need to affix the CFO sticker and present at the airport....

I am assuming now that the IDS is attached to the brown envelope BUT wrapped in clear plastic which is not to opened (Is this true?).

Now my wife tells me the post master opened the outer Air21 envelope and claim the passport was inside the clear plastic wrapper (So he opned it) along with the IDS attached to the brown envelope because they needed to retrieve the passport (makes sense I guess?).

I don't think the embassy would set such a silly trap /Catch-22? Puting the passport with visa inside a pakage you are not supposed to open?

Your thoughts please! Going to have a stroke!

Sorry folks, disregard... she says: Honey it's okey.it says here do not open the visa packet or yellow envelope.you may only open the plastic pouch to retrieve your passport.

I'm the wife of an American Soldier;

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world. ❤

Thank you for the reassurance! So stressful this CFO business. I guesss its only stressful due to a self imposed timeline. Need her to land JFK on the 23rd US date and time. Asked her to depart PI whatever date facilitates this. She's done so much hard work to make this visa come to fruition. I really appreciate her hard work and attention to detail.

Right now she'll be leaving 0100am with her dad to Manila for the CFO at the Good Shepherd Convent location...

I'll be posting a new topic soon about the JFK POE process (Is it possible to be present where she is during the immigration officer questions/interview.)

Wow, this board is good therapy...

Good shrinkage...
