Consulate Review: Peru Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 4, 2007 Embassy Review : I did my interview without my husband-to-be. My interview was at the US embassy in Lima at 8:45 am, and I arrived at 7:20, and I found a long line outside the embassy. A man soon asked for us to get in lines for 7:30 am appointments, 8 am appointments, etc. I got in the 8:30 line. Then we entered security to go inside the building. Then they separated us by tourist visas and immigration visas. I was lucky I found a seat; I was very nervous! About 10 minutes later, they called my name to go to Window #9. A young woman asked for my passport, medical exam, all the papers the embassy told us to fill out and my fiancee's I-134 and tax papers. She told me to take a seat and wait to be called again. In another 30 minutes, another woman called me and asked me if I had been in the U.S. before. This made me very nervous because I had been denied a tourist visa to the U.S. about 10 years earlier. I told her about this, and she wrote it down. Then she asked if my parents were alive (yes) and if I had family in U.S. (no). Then she told me to sit and wait again. Most of the people were being called to this window and that window, but not me. I waited and waited and got more and more nervous. I waited almost three hours and nothing!!! When they finally called my name, it was about 11:30, and there were only three people left! Any relief I felt went away when I heard the Door Number: the dreaded 15. I had read about the angry man there on visajourney.com, and my heart sank. I said to myself only God can get me through this. But when I opened the door -- thank you, God -- I found a nice woman with a big smile, an American. She greeted me and asked me to sit down. She took my fingerprint first, then asked me for pictures of me and my fiancee.While she looked at the pictures, she asked me how we met, how many times my fiancee visited Peru. I told her three times, and she said, "Oh, he loves you! Three times!" That made me feel better, and I began to think this was going to work. Indeed, she asked my a few more questions: Why did you decide to marry your fiancee? Show me your engagement ring, etc. She was very nice, always smiling, even saying my fiancee looked 10 years younger than he is! I was asked to sign three places and then she said, "Congratulations! Welcome to the USA!" She told me to go to DHL in the embassy and pay them $5 and give them my address. I called my fiancee from Centro Comercial El Polo across the street and told him the news!

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
