Hobber Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi all, What all is needed when going through immigration at POE airport. We are K1 visa. Obviously passport/visa Vaccine records? X-rays? Any other approval docs? Thanks, Matt and Lili Link to comment
chilton747 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 You will need the unopened brown envelope you picked up at the China Post. No vaccine records for a K1 and they will not get the X-rays. Link to comment
dnoblett Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 K1 will need vaccine records for adjustment of status later after marriage. Did you do vaccinations as part of medical? And did they do a DS3025 and seal in an envelope for later use? If so keep it sealed, and you will mail this to USCIS when filing I-485 to adjust status after marriage, a compleated DS3025 will save yoy from having to do an I-693. All thats needed at POE is Sealed immigrations packet, and passport with visa, keep in carry on baggage. Link to comment

Hobber Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Where is this sealed immigration packet or brown envelop you are talking about? Will we get this from GUZ with the passport/visa via EMS? Link to comment
dnoblett Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Where is this sealed immigration packet or brown envelop you are talking about? Will we get this from GUZ with the passport/visa via EMS?It will be a large sealed envelope included with passport, the envelope will have one corner missing so that can see content of packet. http://www.visajourney.com/gallery/albums/Immigration/BrownEnvelope/brown_env_back.jpg Link to comment

Hobber Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 We received our final approval letter/call in letter Nov 27th. It said to mail back Lili's passport with return waybill/EMS. We did this on the same day. We are still waiting for the passport/visa. Question - Did we need to include a copy of the final approval letter too? It didnt ask for it but Lili said a friend told her she needed to send this as well................. Thanks, Matt and Lili Link to comment
david_dawei Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have had the unintended pleasure of 2 POEs... JFK and SFO... and as one might surmise... east and west are worlds apart. SFO was incredibly easier. Just my experience... X2. Link to comment

Thanks, Matt and Lili In the instructions that come with the approval they tell you to write your casefile on either the EMS waybill you enclose or possibly on the outside of the envelope you send which should be enough to identify your case. We included a copy of the approval notice more as a belt and suspenders approach. Link to comment

Just recently, LAX was a breeze. Less than 30 minutes. Link to comment
