K1 visa approved - only one document needed for stamp

[surf 0]

Hi, I have been approved for the k1 visa in the usa and also in peru (where my fiance is) however they want to see a joint bank account. (for them to stamp the visa) its the final document that I need but I didnt realize that I needed it. I am back in the usa from visiting my fiance. how can I open a joint account with her when she is in peru and I am here? I believe both parties have to be there to open up a joint bank account. She has a bank account at bcp and I have one here in the states. is there anyway to get around this? online bank account or power of attorney? I dont know where to go so I figured I would would ask here for advice. thank you for your comments

Just to clarify - the Embassy/Consulate is requesting/requiring you have a joint checking account in the US with your fiancé? (This is new) Is that exactly what they're saying?

yes, this is requested from the us embassy in peru, however the us embassy in the usa didnt ask for it and its already been approved here. it doesnt matter where the joint account is from as long as they see our names together on the account. any suggestions?

Wow, I have never ever heard of this before.

Hmmm...

If that's what they are asking and you have a joint bank account, show them the paperwork.

Odd...very odd.

Gotta agree with everyone else...never herad of this. For a K3 I could understand...but not K1. Did they give you a piece of paper stating this?

There is no US Embassy in the US. I assume that you mean that your petition has been approved and your fiance has been interviewed in Peru?

At this interivew your finace was given a blue or white slip asking for you to submit proof of a joint bank account before the visa can be issued?

This does not sound right for a fiance visa. You should call or e-mail the embassy to find out about this.

Could someone be trying to scam the OP and fiancee with this?

yes, its been approved an she has been interviewed and approved (at us embassy in peru) but has not stamped the visa until she sends in the information with her passport. (by mail) the joint bank account (mancomunadas), some more pictures (on kodax) and bank transfer trasaction receipts.

ps not us embassy in us, department of homeland security immigration services

No solid suggestions for obtaining a joint bank account when she is not present - that is usually a minimum requirement for a bank to open a joint account (to be present) - not to mention a US bank may require other things (such as a social security card etc...)...

It just sounds very curious - that is why I asked for the exact wording - they would have done such a request in writing (not just verbal) - what are you holding in your hand? (if you're not, you need to see this request.)

that link doesnt work for me, so I can't see what the paper said.

[Anh map 2,098]

bad link

Does this have to be a Peruvian bank?

You should post the question in the Latin America forum also to get more input from others going through Lima.
