US Immigration from Peru

So my fianc and I just got our NOA2 on Nov 26th, sadly he just had a health issue that forced him into quitting his job to start treatment and therapy. He is no able to work right now and when he is able to, he will need to find a new job. The whole therapy and recovery might take a couple of months and we are honestly concerned about the embassy interview and getting denied because he is not employed right now, I will have his tax returns from this year and the previous ones and his dad agreed to be used as a co sponsor (he meets the requirements and his income is above the 125% poverty level), when is the latest we could do the embassy interview with our NOA2 date? We would like to postpone it as much as we can until he is able to have a full time job again, does anybody have any recommendations on what is our best option or what should we do in this current situation?

do you have to submit police records with form I-485 if you have no police record

My husband went for his medical exam for the CR-1 immigrant visa on November 27th, 2019.

About a week and a half before, we called Clinica Anglo Americana to schedule his appointment. Dra. Lozada and Dr. Corigliano are the two doctors approved by the embassy that do the medical exams at this clinic. I had to call a couple of times, but eventually was able to reach Dra. Claudia Lozada's assistant and book an appointment. The first thing they ask you is your interview date at the embassy, so book that first! . They will also tell you what you need to bring to the medical exam:

-Peruvian passport of applicant

-Addresses in Peru and USA

-Email address

-Peru Cell number

-Interview letter with case number and interview date

They told us to be at the clinic at 7am for the exam. When you arrive first go to the 1 story gray/white building on the left (not the tower) and get your orden de atenci n. Even though they say your appt is at 7am it really is first come first serve. You just need to tell them which doctor you're seeing and they'll ask if it's for visa, etc. They give you a boleta and then you go over to the tower to the 5th floor. They'll ask for the passport, printed interview letter, and orden de atencion. Then they give you a form to fill out. You give it back to them and wait for them to call your name. Then the Dr./Dra. checks out the applicant. Asks basic questions like if you've had serious illness, who is petitioning for you in the US, listened to chest, checked throat etc. Then you go to two other assistants who fill out the form (that they turn in to the embassy we think?) they take a picture. Then they give you a paper explaining which floors to get which exams done. I will paste the photo here:

Then we went to the 6th floor for the vaccines. They were not very nice and they don't have an "order of attention" so it's first come first serve. The wait is long but it's better to stand by the desk so no one cuts in front of you. My husband had to have all 4 vaccines MMR, TDAP, influenza and varicela because his vaccine card from the regional hospital in Pucallpa was not valid (not very official). All 4 vaccines cost 670 which can be paid by card (but at the end of all of the exams).

Then we went to the basement for the urine sample, they ask you to sign something and they give you the cup and show you the bathroom to fill it.

Then you go up to the 2nd floor and wait in line (with numbers for order) and get your blood drawn and turn in your urine sample.

Then you go through the hallway back to the first building (the 1-story building on the left) and follow the signs to the x-ray area. Then you wait in a line and they write your name down and you wait to be called to be x-rayed.

Then you go back to the 6th floor to pay for the vaccines, they give you a boleta and papers on what vaccines you were given.

Then finally you get to go back to the beginning on the 5th floor and turn everything in to the lady at the desk. In the end you just keep your passport, the boleta of the examen medico (S/1350 in cash for adults), the boleta for the vaccines (S/670 for 4 vaccines can be paid by card) and the paper that says what day to come back to pick up your results. We went on Nov 27th and were told to come back on Dec 6th.

All in all we arrived at 6:55am (got a little lost at first) and left at 12:40pm!! It took a really long time and there were 10-12 other visa applicants also doing their medical exam that day.

Tips!

Make sure you take a copy of your interview letter with the case number and interview date, make sure you take cash for the exam fee and for the vaccines (or use card). Take snacks and water because you'll be there a while! But they also have vending machines with snacks, drinks, and coffee. Make sure you get there early so you can get the first orden de atencion and get to the desk first on the 5th floor and 6th floor because it's first come first serve. If you're accompanying your spouse or fiance, take something to do because the wait is long! There are magazines on several of the floors (all in Spanish of course). Be patient :D.

I know the USCIS is closing Jan 2020, but hope this can help someone!

Hi all! So sorry if I missed the answer to this elsewhere! I am the USC and have done a DCF/I-130/CR-1 visa application for my Peruvian husband.

I've researched this website and found several helpful threads talking about how the USC petitioner is still required to fill out an I-864 AOS even if they are currently living overseas. But I haven't been able to find anywhere how you're supposed to fill out the I-864 fields if you're attaching a letter explaining how you maintained your US domicile or future plans of US domicile.

Basically, what I want to know is do I as the main sponsor filling out the I-864 need to put my current Peruvian addresses in the form fields or do I put my future US domicile (if my husband's visa is approved)? I plan on attaching a cover letter with evidence of me maintaining my US domicile (like the one in this thread

Hope this makes sense! Thanks in advance

USCIS: Your case was received. Receipt **********. Official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) to follow in mail. Msg & Data rates may apply. DO NOT REPLY

I received this on Friday morning and actually received it twice. The receipt number is exactly the same in the two messages, is that just a coincidence? Does this mean they are now looking at our case and how long should It take to receive our next response? Also, the I-797 could mean a number of things right?
