No, not weird really. They don't dally around much if they think you are legit. They are pretty good at what they do. They asked me very little. 

That's comforting to know. Appreciate it.

Congratulations!!!! Best feeling in the world getting approved. I remember I nearly collapsed, thankfully my husband was taking notes from the kindest CO lady. We had so much beer and champagne after!! Oh that hangover next day when I booked my flights (I went against advice of waiting for visas prior to booking my flight ticket)

My fiance just gave me his experience and since he doesn't use this site I'll relay for him. When he first got there they asked for his ds160 and they put a sticker on it and gave it back to him. He went into the first room and there were to lines with a woman at the end letting people know where to go. He went upstairs to his correct area. He said it was an open floor plan with two windows. They called his number and the first man took his fingerprints and asked when he was coming to the US. Asked for police certificate, affidavit of support, ds160, passport, his birth certificate, and one American passport photo. The man at the first window gave him his x-ray photo. The second window he went to the lady was very stern and asked him if he had ever worked in the US, had any other visas, if he had ever been arrested when was he last in the US, when did he leave, and if he had ever been married/divorced before. She took the second set of fingerprints. And said your visa should be approved. He asked her, so I have my visa? She said "Yes you will receive it in 8-9 business days" and that was that. Didn't ask any questions about me or us. Strange. I'll take it though.

@amforever Did you have the entire DS-160 printed or only the confirmation page?

We did too but even if we have to pay to change it I'm okay with it. We told them at the interview the day we booked for, I feel pretty confident about it.

Our case got changed today to NONIMMIGRANT AP.

 

I think from what I've read this is a good thing?

Geeeez! Well I've heard of London having somewhat laxed interviews but I'm pretty sure the woman in the cafeteria at work asks more invasive questions than that!

I asked him the next day after he had slept and he said they did ask how we met and the last time we saw each other. I need to update my review.

That's still pretty good going isn't it.

My fiance seems to think that because he told them he was leaving on the 12th of February ours got issued quickly. They also had his medical on hand because he did it two weeks before so that also could be why, either way we are excited and happy we got to move along quickly. Good luck!

Congratulations! Hopefully it's in hand swiftly and good luck with your AOS and the future
