Peru

[mfa 1]

Where should I post for info on Peru CR-1 interview questions?

Not much in the portal.

Not much in the embassy reviews.

Specifically, I am interested in evidence of marriage. Do we really need sworn affidavits from people and tons of photos?

Or is Peruvian marriage certificate enough and a few photos?

Also, we met online.

Is that a red flag?

What do you suggest for Peru?

If you follow the template on the VJ wiki...sworn affidavits can actually be the easiest part. However, concrete evidence (insurance, leases, bank statements) is supposedly stronger than any persons heresay. As far as I can tell, a ton of couples met online and have success stories, but I can´t personally speak to that.

Also, most VJers are willing to help. Perhaps check out the list of Peruvian couples and send them a private message?

Also, update your profile information. Make sure to put Peru as the country of non-US citizen. Then your posts will appear in the Peru portal and will be seen there by others going through the process from Peru.

Did you get NOA1 yet?

Im not sure what an NOA! is.

We got two packets the other day.

One says "packet 3."

The other says "packet 4."

Within one is interview date.

We are doing DCF here in Peru.

My wife and I went through the K1 visa process in Lima, Peru and it was a good experience. The best information I can give you is follow the templates and bring a lot of photos and affidavits suggested to be given at your interview.

I found that the last experience in Lima was with my wife's visa expired and her extension letter was lost. We met a gentleman who had been to the US Embassy 3 times to try to get his daughter to be a US citizen and this time he finally had everything to make it happen that time. Make a list of all the documents you need and double check your documents before going to the Embassy to make sure you have everything.

My wife and I met online and this was not a problem.

A "lot" of affidavits???

You mean I've got to get a group of people together and march them into a notary?

I can see why affidavits might be popular for fiances...but for spouses with marriage certificates too???

Also, I don't remember seeing affidavits mentioned anywhere in the packets they sent us with a list of documents to obtain.

I believe we had 3 certified letters from friends of ours write about our marriage and then take them to the local notary, then we went and picked them up. Visa Journey has a link on how to put packets together to help us out and I followed them as much as I could. My wife and I went through the K1 visa process and my wife now has her 10 year green card. This website and the information it provides is priceless for those of us going through this process.
