Our appointment was set for 8am but we got there at 7:20am, went to the 1st security guard who asked for the medical sealed envelope, told me to open it, then he checked our passports, and let us in.
Once inside you leave all cellphones, gums, candy, etc. they give you a number for you retrieve your stuff once you leave the embassy. Then we sat down with all the people waiting, after about 10 minutes a young lady came asking for Immigrant Visa Applicants, we stood up, and went through another security checkpoint and entered the area where you are interviewed. They gave us a number, and we sat down to wait. We waited for about 20 min, then we were called by a local Nicaraguan employee who asked for my Birth Certificate, Police Record, Marriage Certificate, and 2 passport photos. I had everything except the photos, so then she checked what the NVC had sent them and found the 2 photos, she was a bit serious at first, but then when she saw my birthday was on Oct 29th she was nice and said hers was on the same day too. She asked us some questions as:
How we met?
When did we start a relationship?
When did we get married?
Did his family come to the wedding?
Does he send money?
How often does he send it?
How many trips has he made after we got married?
Then she asked for evidence, I gave her money gram receipts, yahoo chat logs, cellphone records, and our wedding pics. She then told us to sit down until we were called again.
Then the US Consul called us, and she was really really nice, very pretty and always smiling. She asked basically the same questions, and then asked if I swore that everything on the DS-230 was true, I answered yes I swear, then she said CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED! It was the best feeling ever!! We were out of there by 8:35am, we were both ready to wait at least a couple of hours, glad it wasn't the case.
