so today I received the visa and yeah too excited and all. was thinking how come i received a bigger package when i was only expecting my passport. and then i thought it will be all our documents that we sent before and the embassy is returning it to us, yeah so opened it and too late to realize the label at the back of the envelope. notice to be opened by the immigration officer. was so shocked that i dropped them the papers and started panicking. :( emailed the embassy already. does anyone know what could be a resolution for this? can i send it back to have it resealed. so worried :(


has anyone experienced this? and in saudi arabia as well?

they have to reseal it. Make a appointment with the embassy and you'll be OK. Your not the first and your not the last. People get exited and dont read everything. nothing major.

feeling hopeful :) the note was at the back of the envelope. doesn't matter if i have to fly back to riyadh which is two hours from here just to get it sorted. what matters the most is i have the visa and we just have to re-seal it again,,, trying to think straight, thank you for the reply :)

In all country people post about the brown envelope that cant be open, I dont know how people make this mistake.

Can easily see someone who has been waiting for many months for a visa getting excited and opening it before thinking. We are human, we all make mistakes.

Thank you! You are right after the long wait. :) I'm guilty really that I have not remembered that I will be given a packet. Anyway, I have sent them the packer back the passport and I decided to include the letter of explanation and the airwaybill as well so they can send it back :) thank you everyone in Vj will make sure to read topics here from now on. :) now just have to wait how long it will take them to seal it ;)
