Hello, I am newbie here... and I am from Perú too....

I hope we can keep in touch....

Ely and Michael...

Betty arrived last night in San Francisco, CA at 11:50pm (15 minutes early). She had no problems on her connecting fight from Lima to El Salvador to SFO (Taca Airlines).

I arrived at the airport about 1.5 hours before she arrived and waited in the "International Arrival Lounge."

She was one of the very first people to be cleared from immigratin and customs. They asked her a few questions, took her paperwork, index fingerprint, and welcomed her to the United States. She sadi that the USCIS and Customs officers were really nice. It only took 15-20 minutes after she landed, before she was in my arms. We are at home now and I will post more later.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!.... I am happy for you and Betty, I wish you my best....

Congratulations Loto & Fathima..!!!...I wish you both the best in your new life, God Bless you..

Ely, Copy of the original birth certificate and marriage certificate is enough to file I-130.

Originals are needed at later stage in NVC.

Thank you...you know my husband and I, we are using your GUIDE...Congratulations for your wife's visa...

If I have more questions, I know you friends will help me...

Ely

Gracias Susita...

Tenemos todo traducido y legalizado por el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores...por eso preguntaba si mi esposo necesita obtener copias simples o notariadas.....Ahora sé que son sólo copias simples..

Gracias por todo...

I hope I am able to save a few people the disappointment and frustration we are going through...

After trying to ensure that everythig was in order with our documents, by following the State Department and Embassy Specific instructions on-line, we discovered today when our visa was "denied" pending the submission of a RENIEC endorsed marriage certificate. It was an apparent mis-interpretation on my part...but all Peruvians outside of Lima, need to have this endorsement.

Birth Cert. (We Had RENIEC endorement)

Marriage Cert. (If not married in Lima - We Did Not Have)

I am told by embassy staff that this is the only thing holding up our visa. It will take a week for us to get the new document and endorsement. We then have to submit it via DHL to the embassy, which takes another 10 days to process + return time.

I hope this helps....Peace

I guess this could help...This is some information from the Lima - USA Embassy web site...for Immigrants Visas

Partidas de Nacimiento, Matrimonio, Divorcio, Certificados de Defunción (según sea el caso)

Todas las partidas (incluyendo las de Lima) deben ser emitidas o certificadas por el Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil (RENIEC). Las oficinas de RENIEC emiten partidas originales para ciertos distritos de Lima, mientras que sus oficinas a nivel nacional pueden certificar la autenticidad de las partidas emitidas en otros departamentos.

Birth, Marriage, Divorce and Death Certificates (as appropriate)

All birth certificates (including those from Lima) must be either issued by, or certified by, the Peruvian national civil records registry ("RENIEC"). RENIEC offices issue original birth certificates for some areas in Lima; RENIEC offices throughout Peru can certify the authenticity of certificates from all other areas.If a birth certificate is unobtainable, the applicant can present a baptismal certificate notarized by an ecclesiastical notary.

My dear friend, your wife's visa is just waiting these endorsements...Everything will work out good.

God Bless you...

Ok Guys...

This is offically the longest day of waiting for Loto and I...tomorrow is the big day. I hope everything goes well for all of us. So for now we can just keep smiling, because we made it this far...

Peace Be With Everyone.
