Hi, I'm from Peru

[V&J2005 0]

What i know about living in Peru and staying there legally is that you guys would have to become peruvians and get and DNI, its like the AOS here, fisrt you have the right to stay 3 months without problems and then you need to become a resident unless you get a work permit though a company. My cousin married a swiss girl and she had to become a peruvian citizen so she could stay in Peru, of course when she travels, she uses her swiss passport so she doesnt need to get a visa for any country. There are some countries that allow dual citizenship like Spain, but US is not in the list I hope that information helps.

ceviche is not exactly my favorite dish, but my wife loves it. I tasted in when I was in Peru last. I think it to be an acquired taste. She says she has not yet been able to find all of the ingredients here to make it the way she did in Peru. I guess she will just have to wait until we take our next trip over to visit friends and family.

Article 53 of the 1993 Constitution (see http://www.georgetown.edu/pdba/Constitutions/Peru/) says that “La nacionalidad peruana no se pierde, salvo por renuncia expresa ante autoridad peruana.”

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski is a Peruvian citizen who has held high level government positions in Peru, and he is a naturalized US citizen. He conserves dual citizenship. (now, he has been criticized for accepting his second citizenship due to some of the policies he has promoted, as they seem more pro-US than pro-Peru...but that is another story!)

well if I hit the lotto I will move to Peru and build a hotel in Lima for Norte Americanos--and a resort hotel in Punta Sal beach area, who knows maybe even start a tour company.

The best place to eat ceviche??? Uhmmmmm I'll say "El Muellecito" in San Borja (Rosa Toro Av.), I live in NYC and there are plenty of peruvian restaurants and peruvian bodegas (*Queens & Portchester) we try to go there once a month to eat some good ceviche,tallarines verdes,anticuchos,trucha frita, etc and after that we go to visit the bodegas to buy some Inca Kola,sublimes,sorrento,cuacua,triangulo (yes, Sil loves peruvian chocolates) we are looking everywhere for Pisco but can't find it so each and everytime somebody from Peru comes to visit us my mom sends some bottles (Vargas and Biondi, no, we are not alcoholic, but who can resist a good Pisco Sour???)

I try to cook peruvian food almost everyday, I got this book "Que cocinare hoy??? from Nicolini and helps me ALOT. Even Sil is cooking now, I taught him how to make Papa a la Huancaina and our addiction : CANCHITA!!!!! we have canchita all the time and his family love it too.

I miss to have a maid too ( I miss you Delia!!!) I wish I can hire own but maids are really expensive here (they make about $500 a week) maybe when I win the lottery.

As all of you I miss my family, my friends, my doggy, the cheap taxis, the combis, the noise, and I'm counting the days to go back to Peru for Christmas (Just 180 more days!!!!!!!!)

Well people I hope all of you have a wonderful day!!!!!!

Saludos to everybody....

Hi people

someone asked how to get the 3 certificates(certificado de la policia, certi de antecendetes penales del poder judicial, cert de antec, judiciales)for the interview in the Lima embassy

the question was

..."My fiance lives in Cusco right now, where would he go about getting

these 3 DIFFERENT cert's, since the addresses listed all seem to be for

Lima??

[K & J 17]

If the fiance lives in Cusco, he needs to get all his certificados in that city. Go to the local police station and they will tell you.

For all foreigners who want to live in Peru: You do NOT need to become a citizen, just a legal resident (like here in the US). Your peruvian spouse can petition you and you will become you will be handed a "carnet de extranjeria". It's like a peruvian green card. It is a simple process. The spouse needs to be peruvian.

By acepting the US citizenship you are NOT renuncing to the peruvian one, FOR PERUVIAN purposes. For Peru, the only way you can renunce to the peruvian citizenship (which actually makes no sense except if you want to save a 50 dollar fine every 5 years for not voting in presidential elections) is by express and written consent. The is a form the peruvian citizen needs to fill out. For practical reasons, it gives you absolutely no advantage (except for the fine already mentioned).

Actually, it is very beneficial to have both (and to your children to have both). Remember the draft during Vietnam war? God know if something happens in the future and the US becomes a dangerous place to live for you or your children. If you need to leave, where would you go? I am not pesimistic but during the 70's (not that long ago) a lot of man fled the country in order to avoid being sent to the slaughter (Vietnam). Those with dual US-Canadian or US-Mexican citizenship were safe but the other went through an ordeal.

US doesnt recognize dual citizenship but most of the countries do. I know it may be a difficult concept to grasp but believe me, it has no practical consequences (I know my deal of international law). For the US you wont be peruavian anymore but for Peru you are.

HI! My fiance is from Moyobamba, Peru. He lives in Trujillo right now. I am flying down there tomorrow for our interview at the embassy on June 22nd! We are hoping that all goes well.

He will be coming up here on August 24th, if all goes well, and I know that he will miss home, but he has been here before and really enjoyed it.

I hope everything was fine w/ the interview in Lima embassy

Thanks for that explanation, that helps a lot.

Let me throw this situation at you, What would happen if the USC did successfully become a Peruvian rather than a resident? What would the US Government think about that?

veroka64

Could you please give me the address or directions to Garcias restaurant in Columbus. Did they change the name or management yet? I'm going to be in Columbus next month and I want to try it out.

VISA WAS APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will write more about our experience later! We are going to celebrate now!!! WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My baby and I can be together forever!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
