Tourist Visa Success Stories

[Willowycandelo 1]

Who filed? My Peruvian spouse (then GF)

What country? Peru

What documents did they bring to the interview?

Too many...

From me (USC):

- Letter to consulate asking for her to get a B2 Visa

- Invitation letter stating why I want her to visit with me and where we will be in the US

- Letter from my employer saying I work in Peru and my salary

- Copy of my employment contract

- My bank statements from USA and Peru

- Copy of my passport

- Copy of my Carne de Extranjeria

- Letter from me stating my financial responsibility for her during the trip

- Letter stating I will ensure her return to Peru

From her (Peru citizen):

- Letter from her employer stating her position and salary

- Her Peru bank statements

- Copy of her medical degree(s) diplomas

- Affidavit showing personal property she owns in Peru (car, apartment, etc)

- Affidavit of return assurance

What questions were asked in the interview?

She told me she was asked only 4 questions: Why she is going. Who I was to her. What my job was in Peru. How she met me.

Questions asked at POE?

- Who is she visiting

- Where she was going in the US

- How long you staying

- Why so long of stay (3 weeks)

Did you do a letter of invitation for the family member(s)?

- Yes, I wrote a letter of invitation

Any tips?

- Take everything and anything that this site recommends. Better too much than not enough. All the stuff she took, they didn't ask to see. But we both felt better that she had it in case they wanted extra stuff.

About how long did it take for her to actually get the B2 visa after her interview? Thanks!
