My SO had only one appointment and a short interview. Visa in hand in a few hours after interview. No more interviews since then. Not for Adjustment of Status or Removal of Conditions. Nada, zilch, zero.

10 - 20 min interview, claimed medical was lost, given another appt to come back in a month, put on hold/AP for a month with a field investigation

at appt, it wasn't a second interview, just basically them telling him that the medical was somehow miraculously found, visa approved

I was at the interview. They talked to him for about 9 minutes (I wasn't watching the clock or anything.) Then they talked to me for about 7 minutes. Then they talked to us both. By the time I was up there, I feel they had made a decision. But they did still try to trick us with the way they asked questions. I'm glad I went though, cause I'm not sure it would have turned out the same if I wasn't there. I had a male, asian CO. We were near the end of the day and I think the later the day went, the interviews got shorter. By my observation. I don't know how many were approved though.
