AmyAndDoug Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I was warned that the package was very important and be sure to not open it. My mom read in the newspaper before that some Chinese man didn't know and opened it, ended up having to redo the WHOLE process and couldn't go to the U.S. for a few more years. I THOUGHT it was to be opened by some immigration inspector at the custom. But no, I got an African American who's really nice (a little too nice tho, kept "flirting" with me the whole time and told me that if one day I leave my husband, do consider going to him. Yea, nice joke.....). He did ask me if I had the visa package with me, and I said yes it's in my carry on suitcase and I can get it out if he needs to see it. And he said no it's ok, I don't need to see it, just make sure you have it for when you apply for AOS. But, I don't think I-485 needed it. @_@ So here I still have that visa package in my important document drawer, unopened, and probably never to be needed... Anyone know what's in that secret package anyway? =P Link to comment

Guest Rob & Jin Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 The IO at POE didn't take your visa package ? I've never heard of that, my understanding is it needs to be forwarded to USCIS. Link to comment

I've never heard of that, my understanding is it needs to be forwarded to USCIS.what?!! it does?!!! Forward to USCIS and do what? be as supporting documents for the I-485? Or keep on file inside the U.S.? ah our lawyer's useless, I asked him about it, and he wasn't sure either, and told me to just keep it until someone asks me for it... @_@ Link to comment
Randy W Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 It's either your entire visa petition which needs to be in your file with USCIS, or it's the chest x-rays, which no one wants. Link to comment
georgeandli Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Might be medical packet. When you take your yellow book [vaccinations] to civil surgeon bring it along. Link to comment

I've never heard of that, my understanding is it needs to be forwarded to USCIS.I have heard of this happening before, the solution it to visit your local CBP office and turn it in. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/ports/ Link to comment
AmyAndDoug Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i'm guessing it's the entire visa petition of mine, which also includes the medical exam record. Oh well, we already mailed in the I-485 & I-765 and got my biometrics scheduled. I suppose if we lacked any documents, they wouldn't have scheduled the biometrics, right? If USCIS doesn't say anything or ask for it, I guess we'll just keep it until I get my naturalization. =P Link to comment
jim_julian Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I think this has potential to cause a problem. I recommend you follow Dan's suggestion or at least make an InfoPass appointment and get resolution. Link to comment

Thanks to all! =)Is that the closest location, or is that where you entered the USA? You can take it to the closest CBP office, which may be located closer than JFK. Example we entered the USA in Chicago, however my local airport in Rochester NY has a CBP office. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contact...rts/ny/0903.xml Edited June 12, 2008 by dnoblett (see edit history) Link to comment
The Jeff Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Chest X-Rays! Those are so great! I've made dozens of copies of my wife's after the border guys didn't take 'em. It seemed like the only sensible thing to do. It would have been a waste to just let them sit around. Link to comment
AmyAndDoug Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Both the closest and my POE. We live in the city, I only saw JFK from NYC. Laguardia would be closer though, but didn't see it on the list... =\ Link to comment
