Chance to move up K1 visa interview at embassy (Lima)?

[aureliano 3]

Hello everyone, our K1 visa interview is in Lima, Peru in about two months.

Lima allows both individuals to attend the interview, and unfortunately my job may prevent me from attending the interview at this later date.

 

Is there any hope that if we keep reviewing the website, a sooner date will appear?

Anyone have experience with Premium Delivery specifically in Peru?

Thank you!

I am going to assume the answer is no, I have reviewed the website periodically and no new dates have appeared.

Hey can I ask how far out did the embassy schedule your interview after they received your application? Thank you!

The Lima embassy has a website to schedule interviews. The soonest was about 6 weeks from the date the embassy received our documents.

 

Every embassy is a little different. I've seen where several peopled waited weeks or months for the Lima embassy to contact them about an interview but never did. Eventually they just reached out and were told to go ahead and schedule.

 

I believe it is better to be proactive about contacting the Lima embassy. For example, when we learned the NVC had sent our documents to Lima, I used the "DHL hack" [1] to see when the package arrived, then I emailed the embassy the same day, and got a response maybe 2 days later to schedule.

Our case just arrived at the embassy this morning per the DHL trick and I emailed the embassy. Thank you for the insight, super helpful!
