Lima, Peru: Fastest way to get the passport back (living in the provinces)

[lamamita 0]

My fiance lives in the provinces (Piura). DHL service there is not that fast or reliable, in my experience. His interview is when I am 36 weeks pregnant so I want to make sure he gets his passport back as fast as possible so he doesn't miss the birth.

Does anyone else have experience getting the passport back living in a province? How many days did it take?

Or could he pick up from a DHL office in Lima? How long would that take?

I am reading the consulate reviews and I still am having trouble figuring out exactly how long he will have to wait after the interview to be able to travel.

THANKS!

My fiance picked up his passport about 4 days after the interview. Once he has the actual visa in his hand, I believe he would be free to enter the U.S. right away. My fiance lives in Lima and the DHL office at the embassy told him to pick it up at the DHL office in San Isidro despite the fact that he lives in a different neighborhood in Lima. That was our experience and I don't really have a good answer to your question but perhaps if your fiance could wait in Lima for a few days after the interview, he would be able to pick it up right when it's available? That seems like the fastest way to get your passport back. You could probably discuss the matter with the DHL office at the embassy and see what your options are.

Exactly what happened with us. 4 days exactly and we were able to pick up the passport at a Lima DHL abnd you can fly the same day.
