Our appointment was at 9am but we decided to arrive earlier to see if we could get in.
I noticed that the pictures that we'd gotten were the wrong size, but across the street you can get the 2" x 2" you need.
We got the pictures, took out the appointment letter and went in. Once inside the room, we were called to the first window (10 I think) and handed Cesar's passport and photos. Then we waited for 45 before we were called to another window. The Peruvian lady started asking us questions in Spanish.
Do we have children?
How did we meet?
Then she became rude and asked for Cesar's birth certificate. For some reason or another Cesar didn't get a birth certificate until 1994 (he was born in 1981). She kept asking if his parents were married, and told him that if his parents were married then they would have gotten the birth certificate right away. Antipatica, really. Cesar held his tongue. We handed the medical envelope, handed an original of his birth certificate and then sat back down.
About an hour and a half later we were called to room 15. The vice consul was very nice. She asked how we met, if we had any children, and what Cesar did for a living. She then asked me about my lowly 2007 tax return, and I explained that I had been living in Peru so that's why I didn't make that much money. I handed her my current pay stubs and she said "Great!"
She then asked Cesar for his fingerprints and we were given the bright pink slip. We then stood in the line outside for half an hour to pay our 16 soles for DHL. We left at 11:45.
Everything, other than the Peruvian lady, went fine. No complaints.
