No. There were two plastics. One was from 2go and the other plastic is the one with yellow packet and the passport inside. You have to cut a small slit and be careful not to damage the yellow packet. The small slit is just enough to get the passport and for you to check if the details inside the passport are correct. The yellow packet will be opened at POE and should not be opened. 

Just to verify... Is this the proper way to do it Hank? It would not let me tag you. We got ISSUED status today btw!!!

We went through POE last night at LAX. Roxan had her original city issued birth certificate returned to her by the embassy and placed inside the plastic envelope but OUTSIDE of the magical yellow envelope. It is perfectly fine to open the plastic envelope to remove what is inside. Just don't open the magic yellow envelope before POE. )))) I will do a review of POE at LAX later. But in a nutshell it was painless))

My lovely lady will be entering at LAX on 18APR.  (MNL - NRT - LAX).  I'll meet her there.

How long did it take to get thru immigration?  (So I can have an idea what to expect)

Yes just cut the plastic bag enough to get the passport out, keep the DO NOT OPEN ENVELOPE protected in the plastic, and in your carry-on bag.

My fiancee will be going through at IAH on the 12th, but please tag me in that when you do so we know what to expect and what she will need extra for immigration.

Tell her to ask everyone who works there as she walks in where should k1 visas go. She should end up in the ETSA line at the very far end of the immigration hall.

Same as our experience.  We asked a worker directing traffic as you enter, and we were taken to a separate line.  Done in about 15 minutes.  Bypassed a couple of hundred people in the process.

Yes for sure ask as soon as entering the room for immigration/POE.    We went through Honolulu and they too have a special line for processing visa entries.

We went through ORD two days ago.  ORD had a "first time" arriver line.  A total of 5 minutes at the booth and about 30 minutes in secondary to complete the check in.   There were about 10 people in front of us in secondary

We got Issued yesterday morning. It still will not show me a status when trying to track the passport. How long after it goes to issued until you can track it?

Did you try to email the ustraveldocs email and put your passport number in the subject line?

Yes, and I get this "There is no status update available for the passport number submitted."

When you go to the ustraveldocs page and sign in, what does it say in the box in the lower right hand corner?  The delivery method box.  Is it still blank?
