Consulate Review: Peru Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 30, 2007 Embassy Review : Our interview date was 5/24/07. We had a problem similar to others I have read about here in that there wasn't quite enough time to get all the documents together. We received the interview date on 05/10/07 -- two weeks before the interview and one of the documents (Antecedents de Judiciales) takes longer to get so it wasn't ready on the day of the interview. We went to the embassy very early in the morning (7:30). There was a line outside but it was not very long. We were admitted inside the embassy exterior wall and proceeded to the area near the entry door. There were alot of people waiting outside but I beleive they were waiting for other types of visas because we were alowed to enter the embassy very quickly since we had papers for the K-1 visa. Our actual appointment time was 9:30 but we were called to the first window within less than 1/2 hour. The women at this window was very knowledgeble and very polite. She was Peruvian and she spoke mostly spaninsh but was able to speak a little english to me. We showed her all our paperwork and then she asked for our reciept for our application payment form the day before. My finace had forgot to bring this. We asked if she could quickly run home to get it and the women said that was OK. My finace raced home, got the receipt and came back. All the people at the windows were on break by then so we had to wait about 15 minutes until the same women was back at her window. We then submitted the receipt to her and she told us to wait and we would be called again. About 1/2 hour later (it is about 10:00 by now) we were called to a different window that was a private room. We entered the room (me, my finace and her 2 children) and sat down. This was an american women and she spoke mostly to me. She warned me that many latino women use American men to get the visa only and made sure I was aware I was financially responsible for all of them when they came to the States. She asked Nirza where and when we met. She spoke very little to Nirza, most of her questons were for me. She asked about my prior marriages and why I choose to find a finace in Peru rather than America. After many more questions along this same line she said we were approved subject to reciept and review of the Antecedents de Judiciales. We submitted these papers the following day (5/25/2007) to DHL for delivery to the embassy. We are still waiting for the visas to be issued as of 05-30-2007. Overall, I was very pleased with the way we were treated. Rating : Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
