Hi all,

 

Hope you are well. I am travelling to the USA from Heathrow this Saturday and I was just wondering what peoples experiences were in terms of going through security with the K1 Visa Sealed Documents Package? Did they ask you any questions at all about it or did they not say anything and you just put it in the tray for it to be scanned through? Just wondering if I need to explain to them what it is at all (even though it says on the package)? Apologies this is something I have just thought of and stressing me slightly.

 

Hope you can help!

Mine wasn't for K1, it was for an EB immigrant visa. But it was just in my handbag, and went through Heathrow security in that. It'll be easy to see on the scanner that it's just documents so I can't see why there would be any issue at all. 

 

I also took another folder of documents in case they were requested at immigration on the US side, again they were just in my handbag and weren't a problem.

think of it another way. Hundreds of thousands of business travellers take files, paperwork documents etc on planes every day! (Including me). Immigration don’t ask or care what they are provided they’re scanned and safe. This is no different. 
 

absolutely no issue at all.
