Oh, our interview is Tuesday. I can't be there though. :crying:

It seems you have everything. Good luck!

Do you know if they will hand you the visa after the interview or will they mail it? My fiance wants to wait to buy the ticket when he has the visa in his hands. Do you know if they typically give it to you in Peru or do they mail it? Thanks, and sorry to answer your question with a question. :lol:

Finally after 4 years apart, we can be together. ^^

Congratulations to those of you that have your interviews. Make sure your fiances know everything about you. Your address parents names, brothers and sisters, what your job is, your address, etc. After the interview and approval you fill out a form at the DHL counter there at the Embassy and you can either have the visa mailed to you or pick it up 2 days later. Good Luck.

Something I just noticed with our packet. There is no mention AT ALL of form DS-157. However on the embassy site and it is mentioned but not clear if it is for non-immigrant visa or immigrant visa. Just thought you might be interested in that.......I'll email you too.

I figured that I'd bump this checklist back up for those of you who are getting ready to go...

Here's what I brought as the petitioner.

KEY: * = they did not ask for or did not want at the interview itself

ds-156 - 2 copies for them to keep

ds-157

ds-156k English version that I got online * they only wanted the Spanish one that was sent to David

ds-230 parts 1 & 2 *

I-134 (there's a 3rd page in the packet 3 that I also signed and had notarized; have no idea if I needed to or not, but I did) - notarized

- tax transcripts * - originals

- stocks and bonds papers - copies

- retirement info (2) - copies

- letter from bank - original

- pay stubs - copies

- 2007 taxes - copy; including W-2s

- 2005-2006 taxes - copies, including W-2s

- employer letter - original

copy of I-129F originally sent *

original evidence = phone evidence, receipts from trips (air, hotel, bus, tourism, food, phone cards) *

more phone records * - I had copies for them to keep and originals with me

more emails * - I had copies for them to keep and originals with me

more pics * - I had originals for them to keep

new letters of intent * - originals

NOA1, NOA2 * - I had copies for them to keep and originals

passport *

electronic ticket *

Here's what David brought... He's receiving the visa...

OF-156K

datos biográficos (we sent it in per the directions and they wanted it again at the interview; thank god we had another copy)

interview appt letter

pasaporte

certificado de nacimiento, legalizado por la RENIEC

certificado de policía

certificado de penales

certificado de judicales

libreta militar *

2 fotos nuevas - glued onto the ds-156

cualquiera evidencia that he had *

examen médico

he needed to sign the papers that I brought; couldn't sign some of them until he was in the presence of the consulate officer

pay for the tariff - receipt needed!

Don't forget to make copies of EVERYTHING that you could hand over if you don't already have copies of those articles! :)

I hope this helps whoever is coming up next for the interview! :) Obviously at the interview they can ask for things that they didn't ask me for. I'm just writing what my experience was... The DS-230 was absolutely not needed, however. Don't bother sending in the datos biográficos early, like the packet 3 says. We did that and then they wanted it again at the interview.

Edited by Shannon and David
