We arrived about 8:40am for our appointment at 9:30am. We waited for about a half hour and were then instructed to get in a line with the residential visa applications. We were told to open the medical packet. We were then led inside where we went through security and left our phone with security. We then walked through the outdoor area of the embassy and went through a second security. We were then able to get our number and were told to wait in the outside area. There were iced mochas and other food and beverages for sale. We waited about an hour and a half until our number was called with about 5 other numbers. We then went inside a small room with 6 or 8 service windows and sat down with the others to wait. In about half an hour our number was called and we went up to the window. We handed her all of the documents we brought and she started entering information in the computer and asking us questions about when and how we met, how often I had been to visit, etc. She then asked us to sit down and said we would be called to window #3. We waited about 15 or 20 minutes and were called up by name. This officer was an American. He had been reviewing our documents briefly and then asked us about when we met, when our relationship began, how often I had visited Nicaragua, if my family had met him. Pretty much all of the questions were for me (the American citizen) and were English. He then told us in Spanish that the visa was approved and he gave us a photocopy of my fiances passport. We were out of there by about 12. Overall a very good experience, just a lot of waiting.
