:help: I received my papers with the visa the other day.. I guess i was so excited when i was opening the big envelop. While i was opening i just read one of them says that "to be open only by united states immigration authorities". I was shocked when i saw that and it was late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I opened the envelop! :crying: Do you think this will be a problem when i get in the immigration and see its already opened???????? :help:

Yes, I think so. You should contact your Embassy, explain the situation and request a new packet if they'll give you one. The information they provide in that envelope is not to be read by you, so I would assume an open envelope would make that information null and void. Get in touch with your Embassy ASAP.

Several people have posted on here that they've done it, yes. You need to get in touch with your Consulate and tell them you opened it - they'll want you to take or send it back so they can re-seal it for you. It has to be unopened when you arrive in the US...

2005 - We met

2006 - Filed I-129F

2007 - K-1 issued, moved to US, completed AOS (a busy year, immigration-wise)

2009 - Conditions lifted

2010 - Will be naturalising. Buh-bye, USCIS! smile.png

Hello, my personal opinion is ....I don't think that they will. It is very important that they recieve it sealed and if it is open, you will have major problems. I remember my fiancee being told 2x's to make sure that it stays sealed until POE, otherwise they would not accept it.

To Blessed to be stressed:) I realize that all things have a purpose and a time.....have faith and the Lord Almighty will provide... when the time is right, he NEVER fails!

Call them ASAP and then go to the Consulate and they will reseal it---it CANNOT be opened until Immigration and Customs officers take it from you upon your entry into the US at your POE. There are NO exceptions with anything with USCIS.----at least from my experience!
