QUOTE (katiushka @ Mar 25 2008, 09:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

about the medical, do they give the results to you or they send them straight to the embassy? does it takes some procesing time for it?, what about the vaccinations? you take them in the medical exam? i am trying to find out if i need to stay longer in lima, as soon as i dont live there, i need to ask for days off.

about the police certificate, specially the one that takes longer, what is it´s exact name?

Hola! Yes, take your vaccination records with you to the medical exam.

Here's a link to the info in regards to the police certificates:

Package 3 and 4 from Lima embassy

Here's the link to the Embassy Site here on VJ that has a great list of info!

http://www.visajourn...e...ru&cty=Lima

You all should start working on the 3, yes 3, police certificates NOW. There's several posts about what they are on here already. If you need help finding them, let me know.

Yes, you can send someone to the Embassy to pick up the paperwork. But it's at a specific window at specific times. Someone sent me an email in regards to this. You can call the Embassy for exact info.

Based on what I've read here and the paperwork we've received, the birth certificate can be translated into either language: Spanish or English. All the paperwork that David received (except the interview date paper and the I-134 stuff - English) is in Spanish.

OMG! David went to the doctor today and the doctor said that he needed 8 vaccinations!!!!! WHat?????

I'm so pissed. Looks like everyone else seemed to only have to have 3 or 4.

Furious..........................!!!

We're talking via IM tonight so he can re-explain. The line wasn't very good. I'm hoping that somehow I misunderstood what he said.

Hi guys,

No worries about the vaccination records. Mayo couldn't find his and just redid all of them. He had 3 shots and blood and x-rays taken. He said it wasn't too bad, just hurt for about 2 days. We had the interview yesterday. It only took about 3 hours. Mayo said it was really easy, so no worries. Grrr, I can't figure out how to make a general post. I only know how to reply right now. LOL. Good Luck guys. Oh, get your medical done about 2 or more days before your interview. Mayo will pick up his Visa tomorrow (2 days after the interview), and he will be here next week!!!

We are extremely happy! ^^

Thanks for all the support, and good luck.

Anna

Congrats! Yay!!!!

Wow, I'm so glad to hear that it's going to go so easily with the medical. I've already told him that he needs to head to Lima for the medical.

Do we have to wait for Packet 3 to arrive before he gets the exam? Or can we do it before?

Thanks to you both! Got the info for the police records all straightened out.

So, when I read the info on taking the medical exam again, I'm getting the distinct impression that if he can't find his records that they'll need to give the vaccinations to him there and that he CAN'T get them redone in Chimbote, where he lives now. That these new shots somehow wouldn't count. Am I reading that correctly?

Hi all,

2 questions...

1) My fiance can't find his vaccination papers... He's from Peru and it's doubtful that they'll be any records on the immunizations at his old doctor's office. Would they keep any record of this at the hospital? Should I tell him to go there for help? Any suggestions? It seems crazy that he would have to redo all of them? Help!

If he does have to have them redone, is he going to have to have them redone by the docs in Lima? With the approved docs or can he get them redone where he lives now?

2) What's the name of the certificate that we have to get from the polic in Peru? Where do I find this info? Is it now in the Department of State's website?

Omg, this seems like it's going to happen so fast, how are we going to get all this done??

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Peru people,

I'm doing the last of my paperwork now and I noticed in the K-1 downloads section that there is a form DS-230. It is not mentioned anywhere in the packet 3 that we received.

I'm assuming that we do not need to do this for the interview??

Ahhh! I'm going crazy!!! I thought I had everything I needed done or almost done...

There's this vaccine, the one Dr. Oscar Situ claims is 650 soles (over $240) (human papillomavirus...) and just women between 16 and 26 are supposed to have it. I'm 21 years old, so I had to have it. I read the case of Rosa's fiance above, saying she didn't have that one, I suppose it is because she is over 26. Obviously, men also are not required to have it.

Yes, some people have to get vaccines and some don't. It all depends on whether or not one has their vaccination records or not. David did not have his and had to get re-vaccinated for the necessary ones to enter the US. Not all countries have this requirement. The vaccination requirement is for some countries more for the AOS. I'm fairly sure that the spouse from out of the country (regardless of where they are from) will need ALL vaccinations for the AOS part of things; for the American part of things, not the foreign part of things.

QUOTE (Johana&Jared @ Apr 5 2008, 10:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Sam, please let me know how much Elias paid. I'm guessing it must have been more or less 400 soles, since he doesn't have to have that vaccine that is meant just for young women.
Btw, Jared did some research about this vaccine on the government's web site and the embassy's site and also over the internet, and it says that its price after taxes is $120, so I'm really mad Dr. Oscar Situ even had the guts to assure it was over $240, or 650 soles. I paid almost half of all I have to pay for the vaccines, and after getting the hepatitis ones this Monday I'll have to pay the rest. What I am thinking of doing, seriously, is to threaten them, by telling them I found out this and I was initially given a different price by another secretary, also tell them I might report them. Muy indignada! Hugs.

Wow! That is extra infuriating!!! I'll definitely let people know which doctor David went to after I talk to him today. However, this isn't going to help out the women of the age that "need" (?) the HPV vaccine. It's NOT required in the US, so why would it be required overseas?? This doesn't make sense to me...

Medical exam in Peru - My experience & advice

Hi! I actually wrote a post in one of the threads about how furious I was after David went to the doctor on Monday. He paid $140 for the vaccinations (@ 385 - 420 soles). Now I feel bad that I was even angry.

915 soles is OUTRAGEOUS! There is no way that you should have been required to get all those vaccines while you're still in the country, and not in the States. I thought that most of the vaccine requirements were supposed to be for the AOS...

I can't remember who he went to. I'll have to post it here...

I was fairly annoyed with this since I made a big deal about Jorge spending 4 hours in traffic to get it there, but that's what I was told. We brought a copy of it to the interview but I don't think we were asked for it.

Don't forget about the weird birth certificate requirements. Something that I hadn't expected to deal with... From packet 3: "Partidas de Provincia deberán ser legalizadas por la RENIEC."

I received my hard copy NOA2 today. Tommorrow or Wednesday I will call NVC to see if they received our case yet.

Where is the RENIEC office in Lima? I was thinking this is probably something my SO could do while waiting for packet 3.

Also, do you know if she could go and obtain all the three certificados de antecedentes before she gets packet 3 and 4? As I understand it, she can do pretty much every thing in packet 3 before it gets to her, but she can't do the medical until she gets the letter from the embassy. Is any of this correct?

I would appreciate any information.

Thanks.

Cool on receiving your NOA2 hard copy!!!! Yay! You'll receive a letter rather quickly from the NVC stating that "the application has been (or will be) forwarded to the Embassy within a week." Mine was sent 8 days later. David rec'd packet 3/4 (they come together, packet 4 is just the cover letter, in English, with the interview date on it). He received that 9 days after the letter from the NVC that I received. And our interview is 19 days after that!!!! It goes so fast now! I can't imagine that they separate the applications from the CSC from those from the VSC. I would imagine that it'll speed along just as fast for you now.

I'm not sure where the RENIEC offices are... however, David was able to go somewhere in the city where he lives to get his birth certificate legalized. I'm sure your fiancée will know where it is. He didn't even question it. (This cost us around 25 soles.)

I'm unfortunately not sure if she can do all the police certificates before she receives packet 3. David went and got his certificado de antecedentes policiales before he got packet 3 (this will be from all the places that she has lived). The other 2 he went to Lima to get after he had already received his packet 3. You may want to ask Gringita... I think that she may know? I swear that I remember her saying something about waiting til they received the packet. (All three will cost you a little over 100 soles.)

Yes, absolutely she will need to wait on the medical until she receives packet 3. (We paid $95 for the examen, standard, and he had to get 8, yes 8! shots (vaccinations, not sure, but it was 8 total shots) for a total of $140, yes dollars. She'll have to wait for the results.)

Start working on your I-134 now if you haven't already. It'll take a little while to get your letter from your employer, your letter from the bank, and your tax transcripts. You will need your 2007 taxes done too.

Buena suerte!

Thanks Johana&Jared, for clarifying this, and congratulations for having an interview date. All of a sudden it seems that there'sn't enough time to get everything done even though we are not at the NVC yet. But, some body mentioned that there is not much time between the embassy receiving the case and the interview date.

Thanks again.

Thanks again! I'm cool with the instructions and such being in Spanish, but they literally contradict themselves throughout the course of the instructions page! Not cool!

If you look at the Embassy info page ( http://www.visajourn...e...ru&cty=Lima ), it says that now they're saying don't even bother with that (sending back the bio form)... Uf! I'm hoping to hear back from Gringita. I think she was the one who indicated that it wasn't necessary. If not, guess I'll just call the Embassy.

The packet he recieves is packet #3 which will have all of the instructions on what he needs to do. Medical exam contact info, biographical forms that need to be sent in, etc.. Have him scan it and email it to you thats what Isa did just because I am so ####### about everything. The biggest this is scheduling the medical exam and get all of the police certificate. He needs to get them from every place he has lived in Peru and then he will need to go to Lima before the interview date to get the national background check done, this can only be done in Lima and took about a week for us to get. Isa went to Lima 2 weeks before the interview date to get everything done and stayed with relatives because we wer leaving 2 days after the interview date. Let us know if you need any more help and good luck with everything.

Thanks!

Do we really need to send the biographical forms paper in? The "instrucciones para los solicitantes de visa de novios" (yes, David scanned and emailed them to me too!) are a little unclear. The first page says, "Complete y envie inmediatamente a esta oficina el formulario adjunto 179, datos biográficos para efectos de visación. Esta oficina no podrá continuar procesando su caso hasta que se reciba este formulario," and then on the bottom of the 2nd page of the instructions, it says "No envie ningun documento a esta oficina, unicamente este formulario completo y firmado." What the heck???

We already have the interview date from the 1st page, so why does it even bother to say that still? I'm thinking that they just haven't updated the paper or something? We don't need to send this formulario (the instructions page) in, do we???

Not a very well written document...

Also, the Embassy Info (Embassy Site) information from the top of this webpage (right underneath the photos), says that we don't need to send in the "datos biográficos." Can someone help me out please?

This packet is all he will get. Packet 3 is all of the forms and stuff, packet 4 refers to the letter with the appointment (interview date).

I am so glad you guys have it now! Make sure you read over everything, we were missing forms in ours. If you feel like anything is missing (check for form 157, I think it is the most commonly missed form in Peru) feel free to PM me.

I'm going through all the papers now. David's heading to Lima tmrw for the police certificate (and hopefully get the examen done too - I'm sure that he'll be stuck there a few days).

You're totally right! Form 157 is missing. I'll check the forms section and the travel.state.gov for it. Or do I need to go somewhere specific?

Packet 3 and 4 are just terms used to distinguish what we get from the embassy. They are not official titles used by the consulate.

Packet 3: Forms to fill out (DS 156, DS 156K, DS 230, instructions for medical, getting police reports, etc).

Packet 4: Interview appointment letter.

That should be it once he gets the interview appointment letter.

So there isn't an actual packet 3.5 at all?

Hi all,

My fianceé received a packet yesterday. I noticed on the timeline page that there's a place to fill in packet 3 sent. I'm so confused by this. Is the packet going to say "Packet 3" somewhere on it? What is he sending that the timeline page says "packet 3 sent?" Or is that the Embassy? Argh!

He said that it has the appointment date, I assume that it's the interview date (April 10 at 8:30).

So is he really going to receive 2 more packets? It appears on the timeline page that the interview date should only be on the 4th packet, so I'm a little lost.

He's going to Lima on Tuesday to get the rest of the police certificates (he's already got one, I was confused by this too earlier). Hopefully to get his medical too, but he might need to stay a couple of days.

Theoretically your fiance is supposed to have original copies of everything for the interview whether you are there or not. That said, Jorge and I were not asked for any of my original documents at his interview in Lima a few weeks ago. But if it were me, I would take it. You're are going all that way- it would be a drag to be delayed for something like that, and safer on your person than it would be in the mail if you ended up having to send it later.

Good luck!

Yep, I'm the petitioner... It's highly recommended that we go (Peru fiancees/fiances), so I'm going, just to make things easier.

All original documents need to be available at the interview though... ? Things that were photocopied for the I-129F.

Shannon, I am 99.9% sure that you don't need (and should NOT) take your certificae of naturalization with you. Motu is right. Only the beneficiary needs to bring all originals of their documents. You will be traveling with your passport, and that will be enough (It alone was enough to prove your citizenship at USCIS level). Like Motu said, it is common that the petitioners aren't even at the interview, so, they don't have to show any documents proving their citizenship. You have already proven your citizenship at the USCIS level, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten your petition down that far (all the way to Lima

)

I know the instructions say to bring or send originals of what you sent in the I-129F, but they should really modify them to explain and emphasize that this is more in regards to the documents you sent to prove your relationship, or that you met; not to prove that you are a citizen.

I am a naturalized citizen too, and there's no way I will be getting on the plane to Peru with my certificate of naturalization

Wow. Thank you SOO much for these thoughts. You are right, I have already proved my American citizenship and I will have my passport (which I wouldn't have if I wasn't a citizen, ha ha!).

I'm not going to bring my naturalization paper. The thought of carrying it with me is too much. Absolutely terrifying even!

Hi all,

This may seem like a silly question...

I know that we are supposed to bring our original documents with us, but I am uncomfortable carrying around one of THE MOST IMPORTANT PAPERS OF MY LIFE with me on a plane for my fiance's interview in Peru!!!

I do need to bring it, don't I?? That's what I used instead of a birth certificate because I was adopted overseas, brought to the States when I was two and had my name changed. My birth certificate is in German with my original name, therefore it was not worth dealing with it.

The copy was included in the I-129F, so I'm thinking that I do need to bring it. Am I right in this??

God, the thought of carrying this with me (in my backpack, obviously; it will NOT leave my immediate body) is absolutely terrifying. It can take up to a year to receive a replacement one if it were to be (god forbid) lost.

Fiancé's Interview in 10 days

I was so stressed out at my interview I could of powered a WHOLE city.

THinking back though, you really just have to remember why your doing this and also remember that you really are in love and that won't change, and as you are in love, all will go ok!

I did not sleep the night before, couldn't eat and was in a blind panic as I approached the embassy, however once I was in, I made myself calm down by thinking about the last time that I had seen my fiance, and also, thinking about how it will not be long untill you see your beloved again and this time, theres no goodbyes...I calmed down alot and the interview went fine.

Now I even had complications with required documents they needed but it was ok, I was calm after that.

Remember that the interview, while ofcourse being important will go fine aslong as you are truly inlove, even if you don't have something they want you can get it to them and it will be ok.

Good luck guys!

Your advice seems to be the best.My fiance is in Russia, and is rather nervous. She is in her mid 20's and will soon begin to gather the info needed.I told her the same. Be honest, trust in what we have, bt do not give any more info than they ask for.

My fiance does not have her medical card, what is she in for?
I am heading over soon, so I am hoping she schedules her exam for when I am there.
Good luck to all you VJ'rs.

Packages?

David,

You didn't like the responses to your previous post asking the same question?

Packet 3 might be more appropriately called the visa application packet.
Packet 4 might be more appropriately called the visa interview packet.

What was the nature of the contents of tha package that your fiancee received?

Back From Russia

Hey Everyone,
Well I just got back from Russia, stayed in Moscow, what a wonderful city. It was also great to see my Fiancee.
But there is a question. She was told by the Dr. That she does not need to have her shots as she is coming in on a K-1 visa.. Does this make sense, or should she ask to have all her shots doene there and then?
Thank you
David

Can a K-1 Visa Holder Leave the United States?

The K-1 visa allows a fiancé(e) to enter the United States one time only. If you leave the United States after entering on a K-1 visa, you may not re-enter on the same visa. If you want to leave and re-enter the United States, you should apply with Form I-131 Application for Travel Document to the USCIS office that serves the area where you live for advance parole to return to the United States. See Emergency Travel for information on how to get a travel document that allows you to return to the United States.

You say that the K-1 allows one entry. Does it allow one to fly within the US or to any of its territories, ie Virgin Islands?

Travelling

Hey people, :help:

My fiance has her interview very soon :lol:

, but was hoping to back to Russia to visit her family after the wedding. We thought about having a small reception there with her family and friends that may not be able to get over here. How soon after we are married will she be allowed to travel out of the country?
Thank you for the help
David

Advanced aprole I-131

Hey there
Does anyone have any experience with an advanced parole form?
How long does the process take? When should I apply for it, and how many times a year can we travel with one?
Thank you

Police certificate for K1 interview?

We are hopeful of getting the K1 approval mid next month.

We wanted to prepare all the paperwork needed for the interview. One of the things required is the Police Certiticate. Is it advisable to get the police certificate now? It takes about 1 month (in Russia) to get this. The Moscow consulate says its valid for 1 year. What have others done in this situation?

My Fiance is also in Russia. She applied at the MVD in Ulan Ude for her report. She was able to request it cover Moscow as well. It can take a long time. I would start now. Hers took almost 1 month.
My fiance has her interview in Moscow within the month.
If I can help with anything else let me know.

DHL service

Hello,
I have seen many references to DHL, one was that a receipt is needed prior to the interview, another where it mentions that the approved visa can be picked up from the DHL office. She will be interviewing in Moscow.
Does my fiance need to pick a receipt of any type or pay prior to the interview? And if and when approved is it advisable to pick the visa from the office? What is the benefit of doing this?
Thank you and have a good day
David
