First of all, for all questions regarding the status of your visa
you can email to ManaguaConsularIV@state.gov in the subject put your case number, and aTTN: Blanca Perez
She was a big help for me on all the process since my case was expedited
she gave me a big help on questions and answers that i had.
So, we arrived @ the Managua Embassy Gate @ 7:15am on April 28 2008, we where on the inmigrant visa line. We waited there for 15 to 20 minutes, then they passed us to the security checkpoint where you have to leave you cell phone an other stuff that they dont allow to enter. Then they gave us a piece of paper that said IV (Inmigrant Visa). Then we moved to another security checkpoint, and they verified and told us to wait on a bench ( We waited for another 20 minutes).Then we were called, we moved to another area and they asked for the
piece of paper that they gave us (IV) Green colored paper, the gave us a number
206, we waited there for 40 minutes, finally they called us, they asked for the Passports, they kept my wifes and returned mine, then they gave me a piece of paper that had different type of charges she marked the ones that i had to pay, (IV Surcharged $45 & IV Fee $355= $400) so i moved to another counter to pay that (Only US Dollars are accepted, if you go with local currencie Cordobas you wont be available to pay. So i paid the fees they gave me 2 receipts, i returned to the counter where my wife was been asked for documents, i returned the receipt of $400, then she asked for all documents she asked my wife. How did she meet me? When and Where? When & Where we got married? They also asked her if i had children? When i got divorced?
Then she told my wife that was all for the moment, we returned to our seats
snd waited for 40 minutes more, and they called her again by name, and they took her fingerprints, she returned to the seat, and waited for 30 to 40 minutes more, then the consul called us, she had the whole packet, she told my wife to swear that all responses will be only the truth ( My wife agreed) then
she asked my wife how we knew each other?from where i was from? Where i worked? When & where we got married? She saw about 4 or 5 pictures from our album, and asked her details of the pictures, then she said Congratulations your Visa is Approved! Yeaaaaaa 
Since my case was Expedited i asked the consul if they can give us her passport with the visa before may 5 2008, she told us that was no problem, the visa will be ready on wednesday may 30 2008 after 3pm you can pick it up here in the embassy with this receipt that im giving you!
I expected little less time like 1 hour, but we where there more then 2 hours,
there where only 3 persons before us.
They treat us with respect and i give them a rating of 5!
