Hello everyone,

i just received my K1 visa packet (hooray for that), and I noticed that a big corner of the envelope is missing. It was cut off. 

Anyone else had that before?

 

I have never heard of it and because it says it should only by immigration officers it makes me a bit nervous

You have to contact the Embassy and tell them what happened. Most likely they will tell you to bring it back and they will reseal it.

Umm, no. This is completely normal, so they can see that there are only documents inside at a glance.

Thank you for all the replies...

I guess it makes sense since you have to have in your carry on, just in case they search your luggage at security.

thanks for the help.

Not all embassies/consulates do the cut corner thing (pretty sure Moscow doesn't, or didn't as of February), but some do.
