After being transferred I have been checking my status at least twice a day. I went away for 3 days this weekend and came back to find out that we were approved on Friday!! So many things to celebrate right now! We are so excited!!

I do have a question though for those who have been there....Will the NVC Packet be sent to my fiance in Peru or to my address in the US? I am still in Peru with him until the beginning of August...I wasn't expecting to be approved so quickly!

I wish for the best of luck to everyone else in the same place!! It will happen!

Felicitaciones!!!!!

Well .. the packet will be sent to your fiance here in Peru. First you need to call the nvc after a week or 2 of receiving your NOA2 for them to give you a case number. Then you track your case here : https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/

And when your case touch Peru you sent an email to the embassy asking for your package and that's it

Good luck !!!!!!!!

Yay! Muchas gracias!!

Looks like I'm going to be traveling back to Peru for the interview a lot faster than I had originally anticipated but anything that we can do to be together again as soon as possible!

Congratulations!!!

The letter from NVC confirming they've received it will be sent to your address in the US... a quicker way to get your LMA number though is to start calling NVC for confirmation. Once they give you the LMA number you can track it at the link that the poster above gave. The status will change to "In Transit" once it's been sent to Lima and "Ready" once the embassy scans it into their system.

Here's where it gets tricky... I was told by many couples that the packet sent from the embassy (with the interview letter and instructions) took forever to arrive to their fiance's address in Peru and that they didn't have much advance notice/time to schedule the medical. I think it depends a lot on where he lives and weather mail is reliable. My fiance lives in Ate in Lima and it got to his house about 2 weeks after our status changed to "Ready" and the interview was set for about a month later. The embassy also gave us the option though to pick it up in person when I expressed concern about the reliability of Serpost in delivering the packet in a timely manner... which is an option worth exploring if youre concerned about it getting to him.

Let me know if you have any questions! My fiance had his medical exam yesterday and I'm flying down Aug 3rd for the interview on the 6th!

They also gave us our interview date via email... but I've heard that's not always the case. It seems like the flexiblity you get from the embassy depends a lot on the person who ends up reading the emails on any given day. Another couple who's petition arrived to the Embassy in the same batch as ours was told they had to wait for the packet to arrive in the mail and that they couldn't pick it up in person... and that was literally the day after they told us we could. I've found you get a much better response when you email them in spainsh rather than english...

Thats so great! I'm very excited for you and your fiancé and your interview

My Finance and I live in Palpa, Ica so I think the Serpost might take a little while but I'm gonna go and talk to the woman who runs it to make sure she delivers it as soon as it gets there.

Thank you so much for your information! Let me know how it all goes for you and good luck with your interview!!
