Embassy in Nicaragua won't respond to emails or calls

Sounds like a standard response and not that applicable.

Any update?

We finally had the split interview on November 6. The man conducting the interview was very friendly, my fiancee and I both felt very relaxed. He interviewed my fiancee first for an hour or more. Then he interviewed me for about 10 or 15 minutes, to cross check some of my fiancees answers.

 

The questions were all very easy, just very general questions. He didn't ask questions multiple times with different wordings. We never got the sense that they were trying to ask "trick" questions. He just asked my fiancee many different questions about me and my life, my family, our relationship and our visits together. Then I was asked a subset of the same questions. We got the sense that he was just confirming that my fiancee knew me and we had actually spent time together.

 

We provided some additional evidence - the additional legal documents requested of my fiancee, photos of our last 2 visits together (which occurred after filing the petition), WhatsApp logs, and letters from 4 different friends and my sister, who have all witnessed our relationship. Two of these friends had actually traveled to Costa Rica and were with us for part of two different visits.

 

The man conducting the interview told us that my fiancees medical exams were going to expire in a week, and that they would be unlikely to complete the visa before then. So she would need new exams. I asked if she would be able to have the visa in time to be with me for Christmas, and he said that should not be a problem. He said we would hear from them within 2 weeks.

 

Unfortunately, we have heard nothing from the embassy about our case. My fiancee has not even received instructions for getting the new medical exams. It has been nearly 5 weeks since the interview. I sent an email asking about the status of our case, and was only told that it was in "administrative processing" and we would hear from them soon. I know the embassy will close on December 15 for the holidays, and will not reopen until sometime in January. We have given up all hope of being together for Christmas.

 

I don't know what to do next. I don't understand why they continue to delay our case. Nicaragua has become a dangerous place, and my fiancee has suffered many hardships there over the past 7 months.

 

Thanks for remembering my plight! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

Well... this is the most powderpuff Stokes interview that I've ever heard of.  You were very lucky indeed.

Administrative processing takes heaven-knows-how-long.  Just have to wait it out.

Send them another e-mail inquiry before Dec. 15.
