US Immigration from Peru

Hello,

The Lima embassy website states we need to provide:

• Your original birth certificate certified by RENIEC.
• Your original marriage certificate certified by RENIEC

However, we have a unique circumstance for both.

1. My husband was not born in Peru and is not a Peruvian citizen. He currently resides in Peru as a Special Resident, but does not have citizenship. Does RENIEC certify birth certificates for non-Peruvian residents?
2. We are a gay couple and Peru does not recognize gay marriage. As a result, I do not believe RENIEC would certify our marriage certificate. Also, we were married in the US so the embassy should be able to accept our marriage certificate as is. Would our original marriage certificate suffice in this instance?

We have reached out to the US Embassy directly, but have not heard back on our questions yet.

Thank you!

As the Title states, when does the NVC send out an interview date?

I've heard some folks say the 15th of each month, others the beginning of each month. Is there a consistency with them, or do they send out the interview date whenever?

Thank you for your help!

My husband and I were DQ'd at the NVC in Dec. 2021 and our case is still "At NVC". He currently resides in Peru, and for some reason the Peruvian embassy is backlogged for the CR1/IR1 visa by more than a year. We were comfortable with waiting the time, but his family in Peru have all moved back to Portugal.

He is now alone in Peru, and is considering moving to Portugal to at least be with his family while we wait for the interview date.

1. If we request an embassy transfer, we will be moved to the "back of the line", or is the interview timeline based on the DQ date?
2. If he moves to Portugal, does he need to provide an updated police certificate, judicial certificate, etc. from Peru (in addition to Portugal), or would the older ones provided to the NVC suffice? Asking because if he is living in Portugal, it would be difficult to obtain all of the necessary Peruvian certificates as he would have to obtain them in person.
3. Is there a way to obtain official data on the CR1/IR1 backlog in both the Peru and Portugal embassies? We are not embassy shopping, we are mainly trying to get a better estimate to make an informed decision on his move.
4. Would this be grounds to potentially expedite the case if he remains in Peru, since all of his immediate family has left?

Thank you all so much for your help! This is a really difficult time and we are just trying to make the best decision we can for our family.

My fiance lived in Chile for two years without a visa and was never able to take out residency there. For the interview you need a police certificate for any country you have lived in for more than 6 months. It is not possible to take out his police records without a national identity card. My question is, do his records even exist for these two years? He was never arrested or had any problems. Has someone else been in this situation? What should I do?

Hey everybody

I m currently awaiting for my consular interview and as I was reading through it, I found this:

"If you are older than 18 years of age: The original police certificates from your country of current residence and all countries in which you lived for more than 12 months."

I ve lived in the US for more than 12 months in the past, as a student, will I need to travel there and get it or they mean other countries besides the US?

Thank you in advance!
