Passport and k1 Visa issued

[kiesh 2]

I recieved my k1 Visa package today, it was wrapped in a grey plastic which had my passport and a large light brown envelope in it (on the envelop had the words do not bend written on it). I've been reading online and noted that most people says that they receive their passport with a white envelope (on the envelope is written do not open); however the package I recieved was nothing like that, my passport has the Visa stamp in it however the envelope does not have my name written on it nor does it have do not open. 

 

Is this common, has anyone recieved their package like this, I am a bit worried as my envelope does not have my name on it nor does it say do not open. I am currently living in the UK hoping to move to the states in a few weeks 

 

Thanks

You can open the outer wrapping to get your passport.  Inside should be another envelope that tells you not to open.  It is that envelope you will give to CBP when you enter the US on your K1 visa.

 

Good Luck!

Look at your visa, does it have a note on it like "DOCS in CCD", or something like that?

I had a look and theres nothing of that nature written on the passport - I want to believe that the envelope I have which say do not bend is the one I should take to the US with me, my only worry is the envelope does not match the information written on the embassy's website

I also emailed the embassy a few minutes ago, hopefully they get back to me.

Well, I am not sure, I know they are doing CCD transfers of material for IV Visas, not sure about K1's.  I was also thinking the "Do Not Bend" envelope were the chest x-rays, but to be safe take whatever came in the package without opening it and present it to CBP.  If they do not need it, they will give it back to you.

Yep it's a large envelope with soft cardboard like cover at the back

Thanks Dashnika

That sounds like an envelope containing Xrays.   I wouldn't worry about it.  Most consulates electronically transfer records. Are you sure your visa does not contain the information @Dashinka asked about?

Yep I had a look at the Visa and it definitely does not contain that information

Can not see your time line to determine which country you are coming from, but if it is the Philippines its most likely x-rays and or a CD! If so they will give it back to you upon entry into the US.
