Looking for the experiences of those who went through the embassy in Lima, Peru...
The embassy website information says that passports/visas are available to pick-up at the DHL facility, 2 days after the interview. Is this true? What was your experience?
We gambled on this and scheduled our flight for 7 days out from the interview, but there is a national holiday and weekend included in that time frame. I know it is only a matter of $$$ to change the flight, but I am more concerned with not spending one more night without my wife.
Full Version: Peru Interviews
Typically it only takes two days but that is assuming you have ALL of your paperwork in order. When me and my husband (fiance at the time) went for the interview we were missing a police report and had to scramble around to get it. After we sent that in, it took a week for him to pick up his passport and visa from DHL. You are definitely cutting it close with the holidays because the embassy and any peruvian offices will be closed. If you can switch your flight at the last minute then just wait. No need to pay the money now when you might get the visa in time.
Good luck!!!
Good luck!!!

Hi,
I am rolling the dice and counting that the paper work will be flawless and that the embassy will have the docs for pick up by the 2nd day after the interview. Her interview is on Tuesday and I have the ticket set for the Thursday night. Am I cutting it too close?

Yes Arequipa4us, the big day 07/03/2008 is inching closer and closer
Show your smiley face here with me
Let God bless us !
As long as all of your paperwork is together, you should get it in 2 days. We had our interview on a Monday, picked up the visa on Wednesday and left that night. You should be OK. Good luck with everything.
Thank you everyone for your information. I am feeling more and more confident that everything is in order and we will make the flight on July 10th.
Loto, here is that smiley face you asked for...
