  1. Nope! Since the 3 records are in Spanish and the embassy is located in Peru, no need to have them translated to English.
  2. Wow, that's amazing. Thank you so much! Makes it much easier since he will not have to bring the embassy packet with him when he travels.
  3. As the title states, when can we travel outside the US after entering on an IR1? My husband and I finally have our embassy interview date in August. We would like to plan an international trip to visit family in the fall. Assuming we are approved in August and he can enter the US the same month, how long does he have to reside in the US before going on an international trip? Thank you for your help!
  4. 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. 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? 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!
  5. Thank you all so much for your help! We just got our interview date yesterday! Could not be more excited.
  6. 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!
  7. Thank you all so much! Especially to this link for visa issuances. It makes me feel much more comfortable that Lima is moving much faster with the IR1 visas, especially in comparison to the Paris embassy. We're going to wait it out a bit longer in Peru rather than moving to the back of the line for the Paris embassy. Thank you all again, it really helps having this community to refer to.
  8. 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. 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? 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. 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. 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.
  9. Thank you! My husband is both a resident in Peru, and has Portuguese citizenship. Does that mean he's eligible to switch to the consulate in Portugal?
  10. As the title says, can we interview in the US rather than wait for an appointment at the embassy? My husband has a European passport and is able to visit on the ESTA. The current wait times at the embassy in Lima for a CR1 interview are over a year after being DQ'd. This is much too long for anyone to have to wait. Can we perform the interview at a local USCIS office?
  11. Ah, thank you for the clarification regarding K-1s and DQ. Ok, that's what I thought, but it appears on the FB group that folks with K-1s are getting the appointment significantly faster than those with CR-1s. Wanted to know if people here are experiencing the same, or if there is a way to validate the number of embassy appointments being scheduled, available, etc.
  12. Hi All, Does anyone know how long the backlog is at the embassy in Lima? Does the type of visa (K1 vs CR1) impact when an interview will be scheduled? I've heard that K1 interviews are being scheduled 1-2 months after receiving the DQ notification from the NVC, but that CR1 visas are delayed by more than a year. Is that possible? We were recently DQ'd in December, and I cannot imagine having to wait another year just for an interview.
  13. We got DQ'd! What a relief...submission date 09/23.
  14. Oh, that's strange. Try emptying your browser's cache. Still shows as 20-SEP-2021 for me.
  15. This may be the wrong thread, but does anyone know how to tell how long it will be until an interview is scheduled after DQ? The Visa Bulletin does not list Lima, Peru, and I have been unable to find any dates everywhere I searched in the forums. I'm hoping to get DQ'd this week *crossing fingers* and would like to get at least a rough estimate if possible.
