Tax return & medical examination costs!

[Johana&Jared 0]

Hi you all I was wondering what the exact cost of the whole medical examination is. Read it was $95 plus 250 soles for vaccinations, but then I read 2 other members said to be ready to pay more than 700 soles extra!

(I'm making a budget) has this been like that for most people who already went through the medical examination prior to the interview? I'd appreciate it if someone threw some light over this topic.

ALSO, another question; I read the tax return one has to present at the interview should be presented if the sponsor is self-employed. My fiancé is not self-employed, so we assume we don't need to deal with that. Has anyone heard of people at the embassy still asking for it during the interview date? We do expect this won't happen, but one never knows, so I'm just making sure by asking.

Hugs to you all, thanks for being a support!

You will need to present your fiance's tax returns. Everyone is supposed to submit tax returns with the I-134 (not just those who are self-employed). The I-134 & Tax returns are required at the interview.

As for the medical it is $95.00. If you need vaccinations the Doctor will be the only person who can tell you which ones you need. I recently heard that the different Doctors in Lima will charge different prices for the vaccinations so I would recommend calling them once you have your packet and making your appointment with the one you think is the best! Sorry I don't have more info.

As for the tax return, Make sure that at the very least you HAVE A COPY OF his 2007 Taxes at the Interview. Everyone I know (from Lima) here on VJ has provided copies at the Interview and even though we had a copy of my 2007 tax transcripts at Elias' Interview they embassy asked for my 2007 tax return, and my W-2. We received a yellow slip to send back the additional tax papers and the VISA is on hold until they receive it.

Jared can get a tax transcripts (free of charge, takes 10-15 days) from the IRS by calling 1-800-829-1040.

There are a few people who have interviewed in Lima that have been asked for 3 years of returns.

Best of Luck.

YES, you do need tax returns for your interview in Lima..... You should bring at least 3 years if you can.

Try going to Dr Nora Lari...... my wife used her and liked her very much.

Best of luck

I also have a pregunta about the medical exam costs...

The extra money paid to the doc is for vaccinations if papers are lost and such. I know that there are a few people out there that had to pay more because papers were lost. How much did you end up paying for them??

Thanks for your advice!

Just one single thing I don't get =( On http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-134.pdf for the affidavit of support, it says:

I-134, Affidavit of Support

Instructions

An alien applying for SSI must make available to the Social Security Administration documentation concerning his / her

income and resources and those of the sponsor, including

information that was provided in support of the corresponding

application.(...)

Evidence should consist of copies of any or all of the

following documentation listed below that are applicable to

your situation.

The sponsor must submit in duplicate evidence of income

and resources, as appropriate:

A. Statement from an officer of the bank or other financial

institutions where you have deposits, identifying the

following details regarding your account:

1.Date account opened;

2. Total amount deposited for the past year;

3. Present balance.

B. Statement of your employer on business stationery,

revealing:

1. Date and nature of employment;

2. Salary paid;

3. Whether the position is temporary or permanent.

C. If self-employed:

1. Copy of last income tax return filed; or

2. Report of commercial rating concern.

D. List containing serial numbers and denominations of

bonds and name of record owner(s).

So, they claim you ought to present the tax return filed just if the petitioner is self-employed!

It confuses me.

You are correct that the affidavit states that, it is an older and general form. Other countries may not care, however the embassy makes it a specific requirement in Peru. I 100% believe that the embasy will hold up issuing the visa without the tax info included.
