Die abgeschnittene Ecke ist kein deutsches Phänomen, sehr viele Konsulate geben solche Umschlaege aus. Gibt regelmaessig Poster in aller Welt, die deswegen nachfragen.

Dient wahrscheinlich dazu die Unterlagen auf Vollständigkeit zu prüfen wenn der Umschlag versiegelt ist und zu verhindern, dass du dem CBP Beamten irgendwas anderes unterjubelst.

Ja, ich flieg morgen schon :o Ich kanns noch gar nicht glauben! Vielen Dank, ich bin echt gespannt, wie das wird... Bisher bin ich ja immer mit ESTA rüber, und jetzt. Das wird schon anders... Ich hab gerade die letzten Sachen eingeräumt, die ich einräumen konnte, der Rest ist dann morgen früh dran. Wird schon werden, was? Ich war die letzten Tage nur am rotieren deswegen, daher war ich auch kaum hier.

Ich meld mich dann hiermit mal ab, Freitag oder so meld ich mich, wie's war. Bis dahin bin ich einfach am gucken, wie es läuft und ob ich vielleicht unterwegs doch noch was zustande bringe. Wobei der Tag morgen schon stressig wird. Fingers crossed das alles gut geht! Bin eh total verwirrt, ob noch was fehlt und was und überhaupt...

P.S.: Die abbe Ecke hab ich auch, ist irgendwie lustig, das so anzusehen...

Ich habe aus Spaß mir die Kosten für einen zweiten Koffer für einen Flug in die USA angeguckt. Wenn ihr mit British Airways oder American Airlines fliegt sind es "nur" 75. Da passt dann auf jeden Fall mehr rein als in einen großen Karton den man für 70 verschickt.

Thanks for your response.

Oh wow that is a lot! I only shared my experience from checking the cost of an additional suitcase as the others have been debating about potential cargo and shipping costs (which are more pricey than a comparable large suitcase). One extra bag (in addition to the complimentary checked bag, carry-on bag and purse or laptop bag) "only" cost 75 with British Airways or American Airlines. And that would also include if you have a connecting flight before or after (it's the total price). I consider that pretty cheap and since all my flights are usually with those airlines I guess I can call myself lucky. The second additional bag is already like 140. So you would pay 75+140 and then whatever a third additional bag would cost. I didn't even look into that as I am planning on only taking one additional bag. I'll just fit my life in these two suitcases and if worse comes to worse, my friends are coming to visit and can bring the rest. Your fiancé doesn't happen to be military and flying with you?! They can check in 5 additional bags for free as far as I know. ?

Thanks for your response. I called the airline and they said 75euros and 150 euros for each other one.just like you said. I wasn't expecting it to be signed expensive. I have to repack my stuff. My fiance is not military. I wish just right now he is. LOL.

Which airline will you be flying with?! Seems to be the general fees for most airlines then.
