Didn’t receive sealed visa packet to take to POE

[SophieTheGamer 9]

Hey,

 

I received my immigrant visa in the mail in my passport a week ago. All that was sent to me was my passport alone, no visa packet or envelope. I got an email with info on how to read my visa and the annotations mine is “IV documents in CCD 212(g)(2)(B) “ but I’m worried that supposed to have a sealed packet to take with me. Everywhere I have read says there is a sealed packet. Help! The annotation table is below!

You do not need a sealed package because your case is electronic and everything is computerized. Your annotation says that you are supposed to enter with your issued visa in your passport.

It's sent electronically. Stop worrying & start getting excited!

Don't worry. My wife just received her visa with the same annotation. The embassy staff told us very clearly that this means there will be no sealed envelope. Enjoy having one less thing to worry about, and congratulations!

Thanks guys, I’ve just never heard of anyone not having that envelope didn’t want to miss something

Half your luck Sophie. My visa was issued on the same day, however, it appears that Australia Post has lost it! Can you tell me, on the express post parcel, did you sign the Aviation Declaration or did the Consulate. I left the declaration blank thinking that the consulate would sign it, as they are the ones actually posting the parcel, however, it wasn't signed. Not withstanding the package should've arrived by road but it hasn't. I am absolutely distraught.

The consulate signed it when the two girls at the reception before security took all my paperwork. I’m sorry to hear that. that has to be the worse thing to happen after everything. I hope it shows up.

Thanks for the reply Sophie, I was the first one in on the day, the girls checked the address and put a return address sticker on the back but didn't sign it. Never the less, I think it's safe to say that the Post Office has indeed lost my passport. I'll have to start the process of getting a replacement this week.

Take care and I hope things work out well for you in the U.S.

Hi please enlighten me..I have received my passport with the visa..but no sealed immigrant packet and the immigrant data summary. I also didn't receive any email annotation information. I emailed the us embassy manila but haven't heard from them yet..also I was trying to call but it's weekend and I can't reach the customer service. 😥

Check your visa for the annotation for the IV documents in CCD 212(g)(2)(B) if so your case is all electronic and you don't need anything other than your visa and passport. If so you're all set and congratulations.

Yay I found the annotation 212(g)(2)(B) on my passport with the visa.

 

Thank you so much! ☺❤
