The whole process took about ~2.5 hours. The interview itself lasted less than 5 minutes. I had the pleasure of being assisted by two kind ladies. Some of the questions they asked me were:
How and where did you meet your fiancé?
How many times has he come to visit you? (They asked me to show them photos)
How long have you been in a relationship?
When was the first time he came to visit?
When are you getting married?
What does your fiancé do for a living?
What do you do for a living?
What do your parents do for a living?
Do you have a "carnet de militante"? (Nicaraguans will understand)
Can you show me screenshots of your conversations?
What countries have you traveled to?"
Have you been out of the country for more than 60 days?
Have you ever been arrested?
And that was it. Four days later, I am already able to go pick up my visa. Best of luck to everyone who will be going... read complete review

I remember going to the consulate with my husband and our daughter. She was 2.5 at the time. We got to the embassy early and I brought the original copies of all of the paperwork. I also brought our photo journal. I walked up to the interview with him but I was asked to go sit back down, haha.
After studying and memorizing all the little details of my family like my dad's middle name and my favorite color and the make and model of my mom's car. The interview questions were pretty general. I remember him asking about our child that was with me in the waiting room.
Overall the interview process was really smooth.

Interview was very easy and simple, it took me about 3 hours the whole process, got there at 7:30am, first thing you do is the security protocol, best advice is to not bring anything aside the paperwork embassy asks for, there's 2 different security check out, then someone from either window 1, 2 or 3 asks you for your passport and medical exam letter, they have you sit down again, then someone from either window 4, 5 or 6 (an american) calls you, it was a lady in my case, she asked me how I met my fiancée, her name, her occupation, how our families get along, any wedding plans, she asked me for pictures and I handed them over to her, she looked all of them, then she said that I was approved and I'd get an email from CargoTrans once my passport is ready for pick up.
Overall staff is really friendly except a lady from window 3, she's unable to respond politely

The interview is definitely anxiety inducing. In my case I wanted as much info as possible, so I hope this review can help.
1. Appointment was at 7:30AM. I arrived at 5:45AM because I was traveling from Rivas. If you have the 7:30AM slot try to be there as early as possible, and you'll be the 1st one in most likely (I was). At 7:30AM, the security guard asked everyone to line up, and have the passport & interview letter ready (he checks if you're in a list)
2. Security was easy as I had nothing but my documents. They don't want sealed envelopes so make sure everything is loose in your folder/binder.
3. I was instructed to go directly in to the area where interviews are conducted. Here the lady next to the door asked for my passport, DS 260, and Cargo trans confirmation page. She also advised me to have all my original civil docs, police report, passport & passport photos ready for the next person.
4. It took 5-10 mins for me ... read complete review

Hello everyone, i had my K1 visa interview on 3/4/20 at the U.S embassy in Managua, Nicaragua. Im just trying to help others who are going through the same process as me. This is my experience of my interview as i went through it.
To start off i got to the embassy at 12Pm because my interview was at 12:45. I took the shuttle bus from Plaza LaFe to the embassy because there is no parking for personal vehicles. The shuttle fee was 3$. YOU CAN NOT TAKE ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICES OR PURSES INTO THE EMBASSY. You have to leave them outside at a desginated spot that the embassy has. You have to pay for this service i can not remember the amount but it was't that much.
Even though my interview was at 12:45pm the embassy did not open until 1pm because they were at lunch. In order to get inside they ask you to open your medical exam envelope. (Do not open any envelopes until they tell you). I went through security and i had no problems. It was like going through secu... read complete review
