question - immirgating to USa from bogota colombia
does anyone know if the embassies still issue sealed paquets to give the USA customs agents upon entering the USA for the first time (entering under IR-1)?
my husband was given his passport with Visa stamp but nothing else… there is an annotation that says “IV Docs in CCD” 212(g)(2)(8) - does that mean his “paquet” is now electronic?

@Celeste Guerrero - your husband only got the passport along with the original civil docs back from the US embassy after visa issuance yes? and yes that means, your visa is digitalised … anyways, did your husband immigrate to the US safely and what has the Customd officers asked him upon arrival?

yes so he is here in the USA. he entered through NY- JFK. went super smoothly. they reviewed his passport and saw it was his entry to the US. took him to another room. reviewed his biometrics and stamped his passport and he was on his way!
