After NA02

[gsebia 0]

based on all the info this site offers, my target date for NA02 is October 2009. Is there anything I should be doing to prep for the next step ? I am still a bit confused on the NVC role after the NA02 is issued from Vermont..I seen where some folks got hung up at that stage..Any way I can deflect that process ? Also. Lima (Peru) specific timelime states 2 days after interview = Visa can be picked up at DHL,

1. How and when does the Paperwork arrive in Lima ?

2, How will she know when / where to get shots / Police History etc.. Can she do this now ?

3. The BAD one..I screwed up the g-325a, I forgot to add the District ..(I had, Country, State, City. and street also, she no longer works at the place where we put in for the Phone #.

4. Is there anything I should be doing in the USA in the meantime ?

Encouragement Please !!!

I was just in Lima and my fiancee and I walked around to do a dry run and figure out where you can get all the documents. In downtown Lima you can get her birth certificate "legalized" at the RENIEC. If your fiancee is from Lima, she probably knows exactly where it is. If not any cab driver should be able to get you there. It's like a block of off Abancay.

Right across the street is the Poder Judicial, but you have to go around the block to the enterance on Av. Abancay. You can get your fiancee's Antecedentes Penales there.

You can pick up your fiancee's Antecedentes Judiciales a Nivel Nacional at the INPE, which is also in central Lima a few blocks away from the Poder Judicial on Av. Carabaya.

To get the Certificado Policial you have to go way the hell out to San Isidro to the Ex-PIP. This is the one thing that I wasn't sure where it was, but the first taxista I hailed down knew exactly where it was when I said "Ex-PIP," even though the PIP is a police orgainzation that hasn't existed for a decade or so. It's a huge run-down green building on Av. Aramburu. You have to go around the corner on the right side of the building to get your stuff. Ask any of the many cops milling around there.

You also have to get military records and divorce records if they are needed. They're not in my case so I don't know how to get them.

The thing to remember is that before you get any of these things you have to pay for them at a Banco de la Nacion. You pay first, get a reciept saying you paid for them, and then bring them them to the agencies that issue the documents.

Of course your fiancee will also need a passport, which is issued by DIGEMIN. I think DIGEMIN is on Av. Espana in Brena, but to be honest I forget. DIGEMIN actually has a Banco de la Nacion inside it, or at least it did in 2007 when I was living in Lima.

I am a really junior member of VJ, and I was asking the same questions you were pretty recently, so keep that in mind when reading my advice. That being said, here it is -- as someone who lived in Central Lima for a little while, I've found that everything takes at least three times as long as you expect it to there. Some of the branches of the Banco de la Nacion have hour-long times to get to the tellers, for example. Not only that, but things get closed when you don't expect them to be. There's a big strike called by the CGTP that is going to start tomorrow, for example, and that will tie things up in Lima. Fiestas Patrias start up on July 28, so you can expect government offices to be closed for a while for that. I don't know your story, so you very well may know this much better than I. That being said, I think that working on getting stuff together is probably not such a bad idea.

As for your other questions, other members can probably answer them better than I can, but USCIS will send your stuff to the NVC, and the NVC will send it on to the embassy in Lima.

If you're itching to do something in the US, put together your financial information that you will be using to prove that you can support your fiancee.

You might want to check out this somewhat-old post, in which someone scanned the packet of information he got from the embassy in Lima: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=137779

Sucks you got Malaria. I guess that's what happens when you spend time in Iquitos! Oh, what we will do for love.

By the way, I see from your timeline that you submitted your petition to the same service center I did exactly one day after I submitted mine, and we're both Peru cases, so we're in this boat together. You're from VA, I'm from DC. See you (maybe) at the interview.

I guess you are looking at this part:

CERTIFICADO DE MATRIMONIO (si es pertinente): Original y legalizado por la RENIEC.

También se deberán presentar pruebas de la finalización de cualquier matrimonio anterior por ejemplo:

Certificado de Defunción, Sentencia de Divorcio, o anulación de matrimonio. (Deberán ser legalizadas

por la RENIEC).

The RENIEC is the Peruvian government agency that acts as the registry of every Peruvian's name, birthdate, and civil status for National Identification Document and, all-importantly since voting is obligatory in Peru, election purposes. It therefore makes sense that the RENIEC would be able to certify that a Peruvian is indeed who s/he says s/he is and is either single, married, divorced, or widowed. It wouldn't make any sense for them to be able to verify that a US divorce decree is legitimate, though. I think you have to read the packet to mean that the RENIEC must "legalize" Peruvian marriage and divorce records, and that American marriage and divorce records should come from and be legal according to whatever US court has jurisdiction over them.
