If you have lived in Bolivia for more than 6 months at one time then you will need to get a police certificate from them saying if you do or do not have a criminal record in Bolivia. If you have just visited Bolivia for less than 6 months at a time then you do not need a police certificate.

Some Embassies/Consulates set the date even before you have all of your documents ready. They expect that you will have them ready by the time of the interview. If you don't have them all ready at the time of the interview they will not make a decision until after you do submit all of the documents. It is best to have them with you when you go so you get a decision faster.

You just need to have the medical completed. It will be valid for one year so you can have it done earlier than 5 days before the interview. If Peru does it differently I am sure someone will correct me but I don't believe it needs to be at 5 days before - earlier is fine.

The package you received will tell you everything you need to have to bring with you to the interview. While it can be intimidating, you can do this on your own. Make a list of everything that is asked for, then as you get the documents, check them off on your list. You will find you will have it all in order more easily than you think.

You will probably only have one interview so plan on this being your 'final' interview.

Good luck. I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to ask more questions here if you need more help.

There are instructions on the packet they sent for what needs done before your interview. This is the interview at the embassy for your visa and it may seem overwhelming at first it is all very easy. Shcedule your medical exam first with one of the 3 doctors listed in the packet and then start getting your police check for everywhere you lived over 6 mos., you do not need them for any time in the USA. Isa also scaned and emailed me a copy of the instructions so I could translate them and make sure we had everything, this may help. Make sure your fiance sends a copy complete copy package for you to have for the interview as well as the G-325A form filled out and sent to you. It may all seem scary but please feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Everything will be fine and good luck.

Hi I returned from Peru a few weeks ago. I went to the interview with my fiance. So here is what I know:

1) Medical Exam----it takes 1 week to get the results. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RESULTS FOR THE INTERVIEW. If you do not have the results, as we did not, they will do the interview but will not give you an answer on the Fiance Visa until they see the medical results. My fiance went back to the doctor's office, picked up the results and had to send them to the embassy via DHL with his passport. Now we wait for the answer. They will send the passport back to him with the VISA on it or with a letter saying denied or more info needed. We spent about $200 for the exam and vaccinations. If you have proof of previous vaccinations, take that with you as it will cut back on the number of vaccinations you need. Don't forget you will need cab or bus fare for going to the exam and returning to get the results. My fiance lived in Comas and the exam was in San Isidro. Gets expensive traveling back and forth. TAKE THE LETTER FROM THE EMBASSY THAT SHOWS YOUR CASE NUMBER AND DATE OF INTERVIEW. The doctor's office wants to see it.

2) Police reports

There are 3 police reports you must get for Peru. From what I remember we got them all downtown Lima. Again, more money and lots more taxi costs. One of the reports takes a week to get. So plan on a return trip to pick it up. If you do not know where to go for the reports, ask a taxi driver, that is how we found out! I think we spent about $40 in fees for the police reports.

3) Interview

YOU GET ONE FACE TO FACE INTERVIEW. If you can not have the documents by the interview date, call the embassy between 2 and 3pm and ask for the interview to be rescheduled. 434-3000 Your interview will only be postponed by 1 or 2 weeks and you can ensure you have all the documents in time. (They will send you a new packet with the new date but you can go ahead and get all your documents based on the first packet. Just be sure to take the letter from the 2nd packet to the interview.

4) Police reports: Our packet was for a K1. On the K1 packet you have to provide a police report from any country that you lived in for more than 1 year. If your passport does not reflect one year of being in that country, don't worry about it. The passport is the only way they know.

5) Forms: All of the forms that were needed were in the packet EXCEPT for the DS 156. Fill out all the forms in the packet and take them to the interview. FILL OUT THE DS 156 ONLINE. Go to US EMbassy of Peru website and search for the DS 156. This form must be filled out online because when you complete the form you have to print it. The printed copy MUST HAVE A BAR CODE ON IT or it is not valid.

6) you don't need a lawyer. Hope this helps......Luis y Melanie

My wife goes for her medical exam on thursday her interview is on the following tuesday. You say the exam reports take a week to get back? she was told that she can have them the next day. If it takes a week then its going to be all messed up for us there goes $1500 + in airline tickets.

Which doctor are you going to see? We went to Dr Nori. My fiance was told to return in a week to get the results. I would make sure. I find it hard to believe that lab work and chest Xrays are available in one day. But maybe it is possible. Be very sure though. I bought my tickets in advance also and had to cancel my fiance's ticket so we can use it when he does receive the visa. I had high hopes of us flying back the the US together but it did not work out that way.

One more comment, with my experience, it would be worth it to move the interview out a week IF you are not able to get the medical results in one day.
