Visa Packet

[BearAndKoala 16]

My fiancé got her visa packet today! A few questions though.

 

1. I'm seeing a lot of advice that says to cut her passport out, then tape it shut. Is that correct?

 

2. She has two plastic envelopes with separate contents, is that normal?

Inside the plastic should be a Manila sealed envelope that is what is taken to POE.  The plastic envelopes are just shipping envelopes.  My husband had the same doubt about the plastic envelope.  But no-they’ll want to get into the plastic envelopes at the airport to see the Manila one.

The passport should be in a clear bag or envelope attached to the yellow one. It is ok to open the outer clear bag to get to the passport. Just don't open the yellow one. Congrats and good luck!

Thank you both!

 

Any idea why she has two though? 😅

She just showed me this, it looks like the yellow envelope has a small tear on the corner. Should we worry?

The tear looks like from handling the paper product too rough. I wouldn't worry about it.

Just get the passport out with a small enough opening and check to make sure that the info on the visa is correct.

That cut is normal. My wife's had it, too.

Any small tear isn’t a big deal.  They are only concerned with a rip big enough to take a document out or put one in.
