My fiance's interview for his k1 visa was on Monday, 8/15/11. I attended the interview and everything went smoothly. We were asked only about 5 questions. The CO was joking with us and didn't seem to have any concerns about anything, except that my fiance typed 18 instead of 08 for the month of August on one of the forms. The CO made a joke about that but didn't make any other comment in relation to it. My fiance has a clean criminal background. He was denied a B2 visa in October, but even though he wrote that on the forms, the CO didn't ask anything about it. In the embassy in Dublin, you are not told right then and there whether you are approved or not. So, we weren't told. The CO just said, 'OK, you're all set' and that ended the interview. Two days later, my fiance received an email from the embassy that said only 'Please telephone the visa unit in connection with your k1 visa at ....' We didn't get the email until today and the embassy is closed. We are really stressing out about this. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I know that we won't know for sure until we contact the embassy tomorrow, but I was hoping that someone who may have experienced this might be able to offer some advice on why the embassy may have contacted us? I'm not sure if they tried to phone my fiance because his phone stopped working. Please, any advice?
