And bring an original birth certificate to USA. Also, bring the DS3025 form. You will not get anything that is in the packet returned to you.

DS3025 form? I don't remember seeing anything about that form for entry on a K1 Visa. What is it?

When I went through immigration, they processed my passport and visa and then, the officer guided me to the immigration room where I had to wait for my k1 package to be checked (I already knew the whole process).

After waiting over an hour they requested my k1 package and opened in front of me. ALL the paperwork we submitted was there, from the initial 129f to the documentation I submitted at the embassy (I saw our family pictures, the drs results etc ect) I was actually very impressed that they kept pretty much everything we sent.

As the envelope states, DO NOT OPEN under ANY circumstance...I've been here in Visajourney for 5 years and I've seen cases of people who accidently opened and they have to go back t the embassy and wait until they give you a new one (weeks).

Your fiance must bring the envelope in his carry on luggage...because it has to be submitted at costumes in his POE.

Thanks for the advice. My fiancé received his visa packet with a large rip in the envelope. He is making a 24 hour trip to get it replaced at the consulate. Crazy that he had to do that but don't want to take any chances!

DS3025 form? I don't remember seeing anything about that form for entry on a K1 Visa. What is it?

Mexico does not give the required vaccines from what I understand, so you probably did not get the DS-3025 form. You will need to get the vaccinations in the US before you file to adjust your status and get the 2-year green card.
