What does the lima consule require in order for a US citizen to file the i 130 there instead of in the US?

I am on my second round of the 90 day tourist visa after going over the border into Ecuador and back a week ago, and well into my fourth month here in Peru. I got married June 20th and now I am ready to file a petion for my wife. Filing the dcf is what I want to do if not then a tourist visa withholding the fact that we got married and last what I really dont want to do is file in the states.

Does anybody know the requirments to file through the consule in Lima and or does anybody have experience with a tourist visa application.

Thank You
