500$ fraud prevention and detection fee receipt

[Luca Fumagalli]

Hi All,

Today my wife and I received the long-awaited visas and the signed I-129s for our L-1B and L-2 issuing. However, the consulate didn't send us the 500$ receipt we paid when we had the interview; the employee at the cash desk told us that the receipt have to be given us with the visas, but they did not.

I've immediately asked to the consulate about the missing receipt but, since my flight is scheduled for Friday 19th, I'm afraid that I will not receive the receipt in time.

My question is: is this receipt required to enter in the US?

Thank you, Luca

No I dont think so. You need to carry the passport with valid visa, petition and employment related docs.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
