This procedure ensures the Department of State that no one has tampered with your application prior to submission. Do not open the envelope! Breaking the seal will invalidate the procedure and the application will be cancelled regardless of your travel circumstance. The sealed envelope must be submitted for processing within 5 business days or the execution becomes invalid.
