Hi!

I am starting the process to be a US citizen. My question is, after the interview can I start the process to have a US Passport or do I have to wait until they schedule me for the Oath? I am planning on travelling this year to my country but I don't know if I would be able to receive the passport on time.

Thanks.

Hi! I would want to know (if somebody knows about this kind of situation) if there is a possiblity that my 2 young nieces (10 and 8 years old) can be denied for a tourist visa. I want them to come and visit me and my husband (he is a US citizen) but I dont know how that would work.

My mom didnt have any problem with her visa (they didnt even ask for bank accounts or properties) and I guess my nieces will not that that problem, but who knows! The embassy in Peru is kinda crazy so I would want to know if something knows a little about visa for kids.

Thanks!

No it doesn't. When was the last time you tried it? It needs to match "government-issued photo ID", that is the rule. Just typically people prefer to match their passport.

OP if there's no cost involved and you're worried about it, change it to match the passport. If there's a cost involved then just leave it. I'm sure you'll be fine... unless you meet with people who don't know what they're talking about... which may happen so carry the marriage certificate "just in case".

Hi Just Bob!

I also have the same issue. I want to travel to Peru and my passport and green card have different names. I'm pretty stress about the problems I may have in the peruvian airport trying to fly to the US because of this difference in names...any suggestions? Need my marriage certificate in case the airline thinks I'm doing something wrong?

To have your vaccination information transcribed to Form I-693, the following Civil Surgeon will do it by phone and fax for a nominal fee ($10 at time of writing):

Dr. L. E. Arnold

4534 Westgate Boulevard, Suite 106

Austin, TX 78745

Tel: (512) 444-3131

Fax: (512) 447-4699

Is this information (about the civil surgeon) is still available? I mean, can I call today and asked for a transcribed? I know that this was post in 2007....

If you didn't get an RFE, don't get any more shots now. They will tell you at the interview if you need any. Obviously, the doctors are telling you to get them, they make good money on them.

I would suggest waiting, my guess is that you will get approved without needing any more.

I have the same problem. Well, I don't have an interview date yet, but I think I need some shots. My husband wants to go to the doctor, but I think we can wait. This is very complicated, and the worst part, is that doctors want to charge a lot of money.

I called to the clinic in Peru and they will give me a copy! My problem is TIME, so my question is if i can send a copy of the vaccinations (scan or fax) with all my other documents to file for AOS, or the clinica has to send me the original copy by mail?

Do i really need to send a vaccinations certificate with all the papers for my adjustme of status?

Can i send it later?

Yes. The doctor you saw in Peru should have given you a copy of this form along with your receipt. It's a DS3025

They didnt give me anything....just the invoice. I will have to ask for a copy in Lima o have to put my vaccinations here again, my problem is that i wont be able to send it with all the documents right now, we dont have time to wait for that.

Try to get the DS 3025 by the time you have [if any interview] your interview or get a RFE.

People pull it off without the DS 3025 but it can be a "pain in the arm'. More shots.

So, because of not sending the vaccinations certificate, all my case will be denied? that's possible? Or i will have a RFE for sure?

Do i really need to send a vaccinations certificate with all the papers for my adjustme of status?

Can i send it later?

Yes. The doctor you saw in Peru should have given you a copy of this form along with your receipt. It's a DS3025

If you don't send it with your initial package you will get an RFE for it and processing will stop until it is received at the service center.

But this certificate must be from US, or I can ask for a vaccination certificate from my country and send it?

Do i really need to send a vaccinations certificate with all the papers for my adjustme of status?

Can i send it later?

Hi guys!

I have a question.....maybe silly but important for us. Me and my husband are filling for Adjusment of Status. I need to know if we need to fill again, another form of the I-134 (need to be certify by a public notary) and also if i need to fill it out with my new marital status and my new last name?

And what's the A# that is required in some of these forms?

Hope you can help us with all this questions.

Thanks!

I just get my K1 visa

Strange timeline there...

Visa Received : 2009-08-11

US Entry : 2009-09-29

Both of those dates are in the future.

LOL so it means they went to interview on the 6th of August got approved and told they could pick up their Visa on Tuesday the 11th and they have already planned to enter US on September 9th.

This is what I got from the timeline what is so strange about it....?

LOL!! yes....what's strange about it!! even my question was not about my timeline....it was about the requirements I will need! Hope you can help me. Im still looking in google to se what i can find!

Hi everybody!

I just get my K1 visa and im travelling to USA on september...finally to be with my love Chris.

The thing is that he asked to the Court House what papers os documents I need to get married there, and they told him I dont need anything!!!

have someone get married in that estate or city and can help me please!!!

for me it's strange, because I have a friend that lives in Ohio and she get married las yeart (she is from Peru too) and she need to get her birth certificate (translated and with a lot of stamps and signatures from Peru migration and other institutions....).

Hope that you can give me an answer...I need help.

Thanks.

Lucia

Hi you all!

I'd read that to get married in the USA i will need to bring my birth certificate (civil wedding) and i need to translate it in Peru, get it certificate by Migraciones, the embassy and the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, but the thins is that I dont know where to start!!

I wrote to Migraciones but they didnt write me back yet...so I prefer to be ready and start doing that before it's time to leave!

Have someone from Peru have done this before? can you help me telling me what I have to do first? I will appreciate it.

Bye

Hi! Do you know someone that in the embassy interview his/her visa was denied????????

Or someone that their papers were approved in the USA and then they didnt approve it in the embassy?

one i found:

you might also check the regional forum for peru, there is this thread for people in peru

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17760

Thanks!!

I just read them but it doesnt say anything about that.

the reason im asking is because a lot of people tell me that i just need to worried about the decision in the USA and not here...that the interview is a simple procedure to say at the end.....so I will have my visa no matter what, but I dont know. that's why im asking if someone know somebody that in the US approve their case and then not in the embassy.

Hi! Do you know someone that in the embassy interview his/her visa was denied????????

Hi!!

Well, im kind of crazy these days because I know that soon i will be receiving the packet from the embassy....and i know that i need all the certicados (penales, judiciales y policiales)...but i want to know if i need to translate them and take them to the Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores...I have read that...and now i dont know what to do!! help me!

So ... I have been calling the Embassy for 3 days, finally they told me I could go pick up a copy of the contents of these packages, which is actually only one package.

Helpfull but not the best information. For example, under POLICE CERTIFICATE they say you have to get a behaviour certificate of the police authorities of all the places (it doesn't say "countries" or "departments/states", ir says "places") where you have resided for 12 months or more since you were 16 years old. Also, a behaviour certificate of the police authorities of the place where you reside now. And something else that doesn't apply to me.

So, I called the Embassy again today to ask them if I have to get a certificate from the Police authorities of Arequipa (Arequipa), San Isidro (Lima), Surco (Lima) and Miraflores (Lima) because I have lived in these cities/districts for more than 1 year since I was 16! She said no, just bring your National Police Certificate and a normal Police certificate from the police of your current district (Miraflores). Finally an intelligent answer.

On Wednesday I will have my medical examination, provided the Embassy gives me the official letter with the interview date on it, on time for the medical.

I also got my passport renewed. Thanks for the advice!! Hope this info helps somebody else.

Bye,

Patricia

Hola Patricia:

Lei tu comentario y seguro que ya tienes tu visa aprobada.

Queria saber si tu tuviste que llamar a la embajada para preguntar sobre los papeles o si al final te llegaron a tu casa.

Te hago la consulta, porque los documentos ya deben de haber sido enviados a la embajada de Lima, pero aun no me llega nada y me estoy volviendo loca.

A mi novio le llego el aviso de aprobacion el 15/06 y el 18/06 le llego otra correspondencia donde indicaba que el NVC estaria enviando los documentos a la embajada y despues me los enviarian a mi, pero no tengo noticias.

Espero me puedas ayudar

Slds.

i don't what i have to do to make him bilieve me ?

or what i have to do?

if same1 have same dvacetome please send it

than you soo much

amine*

Well Amine, if you really love each other and have the prove to meet her in person, I don't think there's a problem.

Hi everyone!

I just want to be sure about the prove about on going relationship and the pictures. My fiance and me were putting all the papers together and he printed in a simple sheet of paper like 3 or 4 of our pictures....that will be ok??? or we need to send them like normal pics?????

Im with Brian and Isa,

Save every thing if you went to a restaurant save the recipt air line tickets boarding passes phone bills emails. Save every thing. If you send gifts save the postal recipts. Take lots of pictures together I hope you did that.

I think that if you are in the relationship you belive you are then It would be safer ( more sure) if you were married. The age issue doesnt seem to be the problem. My wife and I are 15 years apart.What you really need to do is show that you have a on going relationship.

If you do decide to get marreid there are a few of us from peru that can help with that process although a few hoops to jump through and takes a little time its not all that complicated. I got marreid in Arequipa Peru last september. THe hardest part is making sure you do all the things that are required

Thank you so much for your time to answer me.

We have things like air tickets, photos,..the things is that he didnt come to Peru. We decide to have new years together in Rep. Dominicana..so we went there) I really hope that doesnt matter at all!

We are planning (if K1 visa is too difficult) to get married in June....but we dont know if applying for K3 visa will take us longer! That's why we are worried because we just want to be together.

Welcome to Visa Journey, I am sure you will find a lot of good answers to your questions and here is my 2 cents worth. Isa and I met on the internet and chatted for a couple of months before we officially met in Peru, at that time we decided to get married and went the K-1 route because I had heard that the process was faster. She is 13 years younger than me and the age difference was never an issue at the embassy. As far as meeting, the guidelines state that you must have met within the last 2 years, you have so I wouldn't worry about that issue or even the age issue. Make sure that you show an on going relationship and have your fiance save anything like hotel receipts, plane boarding passes, pictures with the date stamped on them, make copies of passport stamps, etc.. After our first in person meeting I sent the K-1 packet in and went down another 2 times before the interview and the official at the interview stated that that was a lot of visits and that most people only visit once or twice. I did go down for the interview which is not necessary but it did not hurt and because I wanted to be with Isa and Isabella as they came here to the U.S.. If your finace goes down in June to see you and documents the visit then you should have no problem with the interview in Lima. Good luck and again welcome to the Visa Journey family.

Brian & Isa

Thank you so much for your advice!! I will talk later to my love and I will tell him this.

Do you mean that you meet fot thr first time Dec 31 2008?

If so, that is going to be a bigger problem than any age difference.

You really should consider not filing for a few months so that there is time to build evidence of a bonafide relationship.

wrong!!

they have to have met within the last 2 years, and they have, they can file tomorrow, as long as they have been within the last 2 years before they file, it wont cause an issue.

Please please for future purposes, if you are going to give advice please make sure it is correct

There was a list of red flags awhile back. A brief relationship, followed by a very fast plunge into matrimony, was listed as one of them. Makes sense to me - not saying the OP's relationship is fraudulent, but rather that a quick wedding would have obvious appeal to a fraudulent couple. (Why bother taking time to ensure that you're really compatible, if there's no relationship to start with?)

You know, now that I read the OP's posting again, I'm noticing he says that the two of them "met for the first time on December 31." OP, could you clarify for us - do you mean that you had never known of each other before then? Or was this a face-to-face meeting that you'd been leading up to for awhile with emails, phone calls, and the like?

Yes...sorry! I didnt explain myself (and Im a woman ...

We met for the first time in person on 31/12/2008...but we were writing, calling, each other since September 08..so we know about each other..a lot. Is not a game for us..is not faudulent as you say...is just that we dont have a looooong time relationship.

Hi!

I'm new here.....but i think that this site will help me a lot with the documents my boyfriend and I need for the K-1 Visa.

He is a U.S. citizen and I'm from Peru. We have a difference in our ages...about 19 years. We just want to be together, that's all that really matter to us..but I'd read in some web pages, that a lot of times, Embassy denies the K-1 visa, because of the age difference..and I'm crazy about that because that really shouldn't matter.

We are trying to know whta is better to us.... if the K-1 visa or the K-3...

We want to make this work, but we need some good advice from you guys.

I hope you can help us.

P.S: ooohhh I forget to tell, that we met for the first time on December 31.. and it's says that we should see us at least for 2 years..so that means that we can not apply for that kind of visa??

I wpuld not worry about the age difference, my fiancee(now wife) is over 30yrs younger. We did not meet any road blocks because of that( maybe some curious looks). If you are sincere and have good documentation you will be fine.

Thanks so much for your answer. We think about that too. We are not going to lie about anything. He will talk to an inmigration lawyer, to see what's the best for us..and if they dont give me the visa.... well, he would come here and live in Lima! LOL

Well, yes..I think so. But now we are thinking about maybe asking for the K-3 Visa. He is coming on June, because of his vacations.....so we are thinking that if we really realize that K-1 is not good for us, then we want to get married in Lima and ask for the other one...but I think that it would take us longer...or am I wrong.
