Could I do the aplication from here in Peru or would I have to go to the states? Would me living abroad for long somehow hinder the review of my aplication?

What is your date of onset of disability and what is the last date you worked and what is your current age?
You probably have a remote date last insured, which means you ran out of Social Security credits 10 years ago and may have a hard time proving that you were disabled when you still had enough credits.
And you won't qualify for SSI at all because you don't live in the US.
So yes, you may have a hard time even getting past the first hurdle.
