i received mine also with same as you of course.but at the lower part of the diagonal cut theres another small cut on it and its about half inch. i guess that was cut during the shipment of my visa.So what i did was i just let the white palstic sealed and just get my passport on it. Can sombady here share their idea on my situation?

It was delivered to my home in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. I emailed USEM about the status of my visa & it said it was issued Aug. 11 (9 days after my interview) I just don't know why it took longer than usual from interview to issuing. I had no lacking requirements to submit after my interview.

Well, THAT'S not very helpful!!

I know, right? I emailed the USEM after 10 days (Aug. 12) of my interview to inquire the status of my visa. Knowing the date of visa issue kinda helped me estimate when it was gonna get delivered since it was taking longer than what I've read here.
