Most of the reviews for this Embassy is quite long and detailed that cover the basics so I will keep mine brief and highlight the differences in my personal experience.
We showed up at the Embassy by 7:30 for our 8:00 appointment. There were a lot of people waiting when we arrived but this did not seem to hinder the process. I can't remember exactly but I think the whole process took about 2 hours.
The guard asked my Fiance his last name and shorty after that we lined up and went through security. They do not allow water, chap stick and things like that...they will check it and give you a number. One odd thing at this point was they asked my Fiance to go outside and open up the envelope that had the medical papers inside. Strange but did not seem to matter with the person in the interview, which I was a tad worried about the fact that they would not accept the forms in an open envelope. Once through security we were directed to a sit and wait to ... read complete review

Besides a couple minor things, we both give our k-1 experience via Managua an A++.
From the moment we received the NOA2 we were in contact with Blanca Perez, ManaguaConsularIV@state.gov, who was a tremendous help. She not only answered the gazillion questions that I had, she also forwarded us the packet via email once the petition reached the Embassy, eliminating the time it would take to be devilvered by mail.
Once our petition reached Managua it was all extremely fast. Blanca emailed me to tell me that the case was there and attached the petition. Yader went the following day to pick up the hard copy from the embassy within the alotted time fram (1-3 pm). We thought it was necessary for the medical, but later found out that we could've used the email copy.
The following day he had his medical which took the majority of the day. He saw Dr. Gilberto Martinez at Clinica Plaza España. It ended up costing a lot more than the base 195$ because... read complete review

I had been in communication via e-mail with the consulate even before we got our NAO2 (ManaguaConsularIV@state.gov). I had a lot of questions and most of my e-mails were answered by Blanca Perez. She e-mailed me packet 4 (there was no packet 3) the day that the consulate in Managua received our case from NVC on Oct 7th. This obviously was much faster than waiting for them to mail it as mail in Nicaragua can be quite slow. Packet 4 is basically a list of everything (in spanish) that you need to gather for your interview. The last page is a consolidated check list that you are supposed to fax when all is ready. As a side note my fiance never faxed the page as I scheduled the interview for him via e-mail. I gathered what I needed to send my fiance and sent it to him via regular mail. There was a delay in gathering all documents due to external circumstances. I scheduled the interview for Jan 9, before he had all his documents as he was supposed to pick up the last one on Jan 6. Long story... read complete review

Hello guys, It was a really crazy!!! The interview was fast... but looooooooooooong.... They asked me almost everything in Loto's guide... lol.. well not exactly but they insisted a lot in how we met and how many times did he come to see me!!! I say they because there were 2 officers at the same time and then a girl named Blanca took my fingerprints and give me my white slip so i could pick up my passport on the 16th.
I arrived at 7:30 and I left at 9:30, I was the 4th to call for residency interviews, the 3 persons before me got denials!!! First I was called to window 1 and they went through my file, they throw in the trash some of the papers that my husband submitted as affidavit of support, bank letter, deposits and some other stuffs, then they told me to wait, i waited for 2 min and then they called me at window 3 and after that the girl said "there's nothing wrong in your case, go to the P.O. and pick up your passport!
Here are the questions they as... read complete review

K3 Visa Interview in Managua, Nicaragua. (My USC husband was there with me, however, it was not neccesary)
Our interview in Managua was very smooth, no problems at all. You spend most of the morning inside the Embassy waiting your turn (so eat a good breakfast - no food is allowed inside).
We got there earlier and went through two security checks. (No Cellphones, cameras, perfumes or makeup bottles allowed). After that we waited in an air conditioned room. When they called out our number we walked up to the window where they checked to see if we had all our papers. We brought a box full of emails, letters, air plane tickets, and two photo albums. They did not look through them very much, I guess we overwhelmed them with so much evidence.
They asked us to sit down and after about 10 minutes we were called again to the window to talk with a consular officer. She was very nice and asked how we met, when we got married. Since we are both wildl... read complete review
