Post I-129F Approval

[lecht008 8]

My fiancee is going to have to deal with the US Embassy in Peru after our I-129F is approved.  I am trying to get information from the Peruvian Embassy's website about what documents will be required but I can't really find anything (and honestly I don't think they have any information posted).  Here's a link https://pe.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/how-to-apply/   All the Embassy has are links to the USCIS website.  Here is another webpage that I think is more useful?  https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/list-of-posts-k1-k3-visas.html 

 

Correct me if I am wrong, these are the documents we will need (I pulled this from the second link):  

-DS-160 form 

-Original birth certificate

-Certificate of criminal and judicial antecedents (anyone know what this is?)

-Police certificate

-Two 5 x 5 cm. photographs taken within the last six months (is this both petitioner and beneficiary or just beneficiary?) 

-Divorce decree(s), if applicable

-Medical examination (instructions provided once approved petition arrives in Lima)

-Evidence of financial support (I'm assuming this is Form I-134?)

-Evidence of relationship (Do we need anything besides what I submitted in form I-129F?)

 

Also,  does the beneficiary need to have original documents from me or can I send her scans (of e.g. the signature page of I-134)?

Have you received packet 3?  @Greenbaum may have a copy to share.

 

As for the relationship evidence, you could bring anything you have accumulated after filing the petition - passport stamps/boarding passes from subsequent trips, etc.

I don't have a Packet 3 letter that has all the requirements for your upcoming interview but what I have I will share below. Once you get in touch with your Embassy and they send you the P3 letter with all the requirements if you would be so kind and share a copy with me then I can use it to help others in the future. Thanks.

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the help.  I guess my most pressing questions are: 1) how many passport photos are needed (it looks like 4, 2 for the medical exam and 2 for the interview)?  2) Would it be a problem if I sent the beneficiary scans of signature pages so not all documents are original?  3) Will the embassy receive the evidence of relationship from the I-129F or should we resubmit all of that plus some extra evidence? 

 

Greenbaum: I'll be happy to send you the packet 3 info when we get it.

Q1. The P3 would have the requirements but at least 4 would be the least amount required..

Q2. Most embassies are not requiring "wet" signatures and scans are fine. I would again refer you to the P3 once you receive it for the answer to this question.

Q3. The I-129f has been scanned and is in their system. If you want to play it save you cans send a scan copy, beneficiary can print it there locally and use it to "brush up" on the petitioner's background as well as having it for the rare case if it asked for.

 

Additional required documents will be listed in the P3 but what is listed is mostly the beneficiary's responsibilities.

You just need 2 photos for the embassy interview. The photos at the medical are taken by them.

Scans  from your petittioner are fine. I did the same and had no problems with it.

At the interview I didn't saw they had the I-129F on hand (May be on their system already as Greenbaum said). Yes bring a copy of it as you don't know what information they may require at the last momment. They asked me for my fiance birth certificate and passport (They should have already have it, but anyways they wanted I give it to them).

As for the documents required, I updated the  list of things they asked (The P3 letter) on the  consulate info section:

 Read the part that say "Packet 3 Contains"

I did read the part for packet 3 and the directions ask for both a I-864 and I-134 which cannot be right?  I'm assuming the petitioner only needs to send one affidavit of support?   I think the problem is there are two packet 3 notifications in the section "packet 3 contains", should I only look at the 2019 version?

You're reading the outdated one. Below it says "2019 VERSION"
