Goodluck! - If your love is real and everyting is legitemate then you got nothing to hide therefore nothing to be nervous about.

I wouldnt have spent years trying to do this "if the love wasnt real" ... Its definately Legitimate , I definately have Nothing to hide , and yet Im still nervous ... call me a silly human being , this is all natural feelings Im sure .... And a BIG Hug and Thank You to all that replied and made me feel a lil more at ease ... You guys are the best!

Hi everyone , August 23rd was the interview , it was approved , was told the visa would get delivered in a 3-5 day timeframe , today is the 5th day , and yes I counted the stupid bank holiday which was monday .

I am heartbroken , and I have no idea what to do , any comments would be deeply appreciated . Please tell me what to do .

Nail on head. Me and 'er indoors have been long-distance for 7 years now; it's all we really know. I'm guessing you and your bloke are quite new as a couple? All that weeping and wailing ####### stops after about 18 months, and by 3 years you'll only be talking at the weekends! laughing.gif

Hi there thes and rich,

both of you should have the letter of intent to marry,

Best!

The only thing needed to be notarized at this point would be the I-134 affidavit of support =)

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaPeru
I just found this thread. Other then the airport area, I love lima. Oly, you are from San Isidro no? I think that is what Kathe told me. I love San Isidro and Miraflores.

The airport does suck tho, not a lot of direction and it seemed very madning to me to traverse. Maybe it was just because I was not used to it. I flew continental out of detroit and that is regular route I will be taking.

I can't wait to get moved to cleveland and get started on the paperwork once I have a real address. :)

Edit: Oh, and be VERY careful at the beach. Multiple layers that kept being added to all day of SP30 and I was roasted like a pig on a spit. The sun is brutal. But the 4 to 6 foot breakers I was body surfing in all day long made it worthwhile ;)

can you share what they did "right" to be able to get the visa? We are trying to figure out what to do so that Kathe's mom can get a visa to come to the US for the wedding here and to visit (she has a cousin also in the US). :)

Mexico, Latin & South AmericaMarriage in Peru????
not sure if you are addressing the orig poster on this, but for us, we weren't able to work out having the religious ceremony second because it was going to be so long after the civil ceremony (waiting for the advance parole and all that jazz).

it was a damned if you do, damned if you don't until we finally were able to make the arrangements to have the religious ceremony first. :)
gtigiantNot TellingPeru2006-07-14 12:47:00
Mexico, Latin & South AmericaMarriage in Peru????

we had the CIVIL ceremony right after the religious one that was the only way the allowed us to have the religious c first.


same situation we are in :) :thumbs:
gtigiantNot TellingPeru2006-07-14 07:21:00
Mexico, Latin & South AmericaMarriage in Peru????
that would the be the 'civil" marriage she is looking at. just have the ceremony and understand that it is not LEGAL. you have the "civil" or LEGAL marriage in the USA after she recieves the visa. I hope that helps.

only a ceremony in peru handled by the church, she would have to negotiate with the church to do this without having the civil ceremony already completed first in peru. there, they have the civil (LEGAL) ceremony done beforehand as only certain gov't officials can perform this. i hope that made sense.
gtigiantNot TellingPeru2006-07-13 11:40:00
Mexico, Latin & South AmericaMarriage in Peru????
does he want to live in peru?

because if not and they marry in peru, then they have to file a k3 visa for her to come to the us. expect that to take around a year before she can come to the US to be with him.

otherwise, file a k1 fiancee visa and have a "religious" ceremony in peru and then have the "civil" ceremony in the US. this will fulfill her need for a wedding in peru and the legal requirements so that they can be together in the US.

She told me there was a couple there (she had them hold the visa at the DHL office at the embassy) who came out with a denial. So even if the USC is there, it is no guarantee if you don't prepare.. :(

ACK!!!

She still doesn't have her passport back. Called the embassy last thursday and they said maybe Saturday, but Monday for sure. NOPE, wrong answer.

Called today and they told her Tomorow 100% for sure. Wait and see I guess.

the other two couples we spoke with who had travel plans like yours got their visas in a similar timeline like you mention. So you shouldn't have to worry. I think in our situation because the travel plans are farther out we got "bumped".
gtigiantNot TellingPeru2006-10-12 11:25:00

it is sent via DHL, but you pick it up at a DHL office. The embassy hasn't sent it out yet (as of yesterday, haven't called her yet today).

thanx everybody.

I got incredibly ill on the flight home, just minutes into the flight. Ended up in the ER for most of a day getting rehydrated and checked out. Still pretty screwed up, but slowly getting my energy back.

She still doesn't have the visa in hand, even though we were originally told she would be able to pick it up last thursday. Hopefully today. The embassy just had to finish it up. Probably because we put a date of January for her to come to the states, and I am assuming they are processing the more urgent traveling plans of others first.
