Has your wife contacted the embassy and asked them exactly what they need to see?  You are right, this is very weird.  They usually automatically issue the visa in whatever name is on the passport. 

Agreed

Maybe the officer just wants to say congratulations to me in person. 

I don't think so.....

 

Were you born in the UK? Do you have any association with or family from Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North, Korea, Sudan and Syria.  Or Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

Details from my second interview today

arrived at the embassy at 11am
Appointment 11.30am



I was called by number to the first window to confirm my identity. I was also informed that my medical record had expired on the 12th of February and in order to continue my case I will need to redo another report. 


However, I was advised to have a seat until I am called for the interview. 30mins later I was called to the interview window and asked to swear under oath. 


Consular: Your visa is ready, You just need an update on your medical and as soon as we receive the results, we will request your passport for visa. He wrote on a blue sheet, submit additional document, request medical update
Myself: Is that it?
Consular: You are good to go


End off


So I called Knightsbridge medical to book my appointment for March 14th, which was the earliest availability.  
 

20 mins later I received an email from the embassy,

 

We are ready to process your visa, however, since your medical has expired, we are returning your passport and UK police certificate via our courier system in order to allow you to schedule a new medical examination. Additional instructions have been included in the package sent to you. Regards, I.V. Visa U.S. Embassy London

Best regards,
