The sealed envelope

[TomT2566 1]

I was under the impression that some documentation from the sealed envelope would be given to my fiancee upon entry which would be required for her later adjustment of status, but such was not the case. Am I mistaken about this or will some extra action be required on my part?

I believe they keep everything in that envelope. They open it when you arrive at your port of entry, but far as I know they don't give you anything from it. But yes, it all goes back to USCIS and will be used for your AOS.

CBP will keep the entire envelope - they will issue an I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) in the passport that you will need for AOS.

I was told by the consulate clerk to request a copy of my full medical at the PoE. I did so, citing the consulate clerk's instructions, and they did give it to me, but this appears to have been very unusual. Under normal procedures, you do not need, and CBP do not give you, anything from the sealed envelope.

Tom,

They did not give us anything out of the envelope. It is normal.
