I received a package with my visa and sealed envelope and found out that it is torn!

What should I do?

Plane is tomorrow.

The envelope is not actually open, it is still completely sealed, but there is a little cut near the bottom .(2-3 sm)

Please help!:(

It should not be a problem. My envelope was a little bit torn too. As long as the envelope is still sealed, u are ok.

Thank you so much!

I was able to upload a photo of it, could you please look?

That should be OK. Just give it to the officer and don't say anything. As long as it's sealed you should be OK. If the officer asks about the small tear, say that you don't know how it got there or something to that effect.

Sounds harmless to me.

Thank you very much!

I'm very nervous, it is such disappointment after successful interview:(

I asked my friend about it and she said you'll be okay. She came to US as K-1 visa holder. As long as the envelope is still sealed. Good luck
