Consulate Review: Peru Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing Event Description Review Date : February 23, 2016 Embassy Review : I feel that in the consulate reviews, there aren’t a lot of reviews of the actual I-130 DCF submission, so I decided to let you all know how it went for me today. I arrived at the embassy around 8:00am. The USCIS office didn’t open until 9:00am and there is no appointment you can make, so that’s why I arrived a little early. I spoke to the guard to see in which line I needed to wait. He instructed me a line that already had about 20 people waiting. The majority of people were waiting to renew their Green Card. But then I explained that I currently work for the U.S. Peace Corps in Peru so a staff member from our office emailed them the day before to let the guard know that I would be coming. He saw my name on the list and let me in, even though it was only 8:30am and the office didn’t open for another 30 minutes. NOTE: I had a purse about the size of a computer sheet of paper but I was not allowed to enter. I had to leave it at the “purse check” area to the left and had to pay S/5. If you have something simple with you like a phone, USB, charger, etc. you can leave it when you go through security. Just not a big bag like that. Walking through security, you go out of the doors and to the left. You walk up a ramp and then to the left where the building is black and there are tarps covering benches. I waited for about 20 minutes and then a lady came out to put blue and red cards on the wall. Depending on what you were there for, you took a blue or red card with a number on it. It seemed that red cards were about Green Card stuff and blue cards were for petitions for spouses and other general questions. Because they sent me in early, I was first to get a blue card. Around 9:20am they called me behind the wall to one of the all-too-famous bank-style windows. I told the lady what I was there for and she says, “You’ve been emailing us.” Guilty! She took my packet and reviewed it. I told her I also had the original and a copy of my husband’s passport, an original and copy of his birth certificate (also translated) but she didn’t want any of that. Well, she only wanted the page of my husband’s passport with his picture on it. She was also happy to see I had a copy of his DNI (national identification document) so she took that too. She returned some documents back to me such as the full copies of my US passports (minus the picture pages). I went to pay the $420 that’s on the other side of the lawn by the flagpole and came back. She took the receipts and then I was told I would be contacted within 30 days with my approval/disproval. I was a little surprised. I thought it was 5 months but she said nope in DCF it’s a lot faster. The NVC process may take 3 months but this part was only 1 month usually. AWESOME! If you’d like to see a copy of my cover sheet or have questions about what I included in the packet or anything else about my process, let me know! Bueltec1@gmail.com NOTE: Dealing with translations, at this stage (because maybe the NVC is different at the Lima Embassy?) I translated my own documents (the USCIS office in Lima told me I could) and I just had to attach a sworn “certification of translation” document for each document that I translated. The format was very general and I’ve seen it floating around on the forums as well. Hope this helps someone! Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
