My fiance just returned from his interview yesterday and we were approved...but he said he didn't receive a sealed envelope for POE, just the x-ray CD. Everyone I've spoken to has gotten this envelope...what should we do? I'm going to have him contact the consulate ASAP. Do you think it could be included in the package with his visa? Everyone else seemed to have gotten this at the interview.

The Sealed Envelope will be delivered with the Passport that will have the new visa in it, dont worry everything is as it should be! :)

I hope you're right! I've read a lot of embassy reviews stating that they received the Magic Envelope at the interview, so we were worried. My fiance was too excited after hearing the word "approved" he forgot about it! :lol:

We should be getting the visa in a few days.

The infamous sealed envelope will be delivered to Tom in the post, as stated above. The Embassy need to collate all of Toms documents, before they get put into the POE envelope, which is not done on the same day as the interview.

You can even call DOS at this point to see if his passport has been handed over to the courier company for delivery.

Do you happen to have that number handy? I can't find it...

EDIT: Never mind, I have it.

If you read older reviews that said an envelope was handed over at the first window...that was a giant x-ray film in an envelope. They obviously modernized and do the x-ray on cd now at Knightsbridge.
