I am not exactly able to help you regarding the Managua aspect of things, but I can tell you that my guy had to fill out the DS-156, DS-157, DS-157k and DS-230, though that might be Cuba specific. As far as medical, police, etc. I cannot help you too much. What I do know is you will need evidence of relationship, the affidavit of support and documents to support, another letter of intent to marry from both of you, the copy of your NOA2... and I might be forgetting something. Hopefully someone who has gone through the process in Managua can help you. Also you might try calling them to get some answers. Take care and God bless!!!

Have your fiance pick up packet 3 at the consular section of the embassy himself. The embassy strongly suggest this since the Nicaraguan Postal Service is S L O W or rather inefficient. My wife did this and we saved two weeks. She received packet 3 almost 3 weeks after the consulate sent it. I have a copy of the check list of the documents my wife had to gather befor the interview. I tried to attach a file here, but something is wrong with my computer. If you give me your e-mail on a PM I will gladly send those copies to you. In the meantime, let me tell your fiance needs to do after getting packet 3:

1. Call a doctor from the list to set up the appoinment for the examinations. The results are given back around 3 hours after. They will charge about $200 approximately.

2. Two passports style photos.

3. Birth certificate from the Registro Nacional. In my case they asked for my Birth Certificate too. I don´t know if they require the petioner´s birth certificate on K Visas.

4. Police Records are also given at the Registro Nacional.

5. Passport with an expiration date of at least six months.

After getting all this, your fiance has to send a fax to the consulate letting them know you have all documents on hand. Next, Consulate will contact the beneficiary with the interview date and time. They call cell phones, so if this is more convienent for your fiance, give them a cell phone number. Make sure you give them an address in Managua too, where they will send the passport back with the Visa. There´s a $5.50 fee for this.

If any doubt, contact Blanca Perez by e-mail, ManaguaConsularIV@state.gov or PerezBR@state.gov she is a Consular Officer. She had been very helpful in my case, and when my wife picked up packet 3, she took the time to walk her thru the check list and all other details. I am not sure if she oversees K visas cases, but I´m sure she will refer to the appropiate officer.

I hope this information will help you. If anything, just write me.
