How exactly did they contact you, if it was via phone make sure to verify the number?  It doesn't make any sense for them to contact you unless you already had an appointment scheduled.

Where did you see this? On Twitter they are saying they are cancelling non immigrant visas and continuing to interview immigrant visas

Interview Letter on Feb 8th, 2021

My case was a little complicated so the questions I was asked were quite different but I was one of the last people to get interviewed so I could hear a lot of the questions asked to other interviewees.
Eg:
1. Love or arranged marriage ?
2. What do you like about your spouse ? (If you say caring, give an example of it)
3. Show me the photos (I would HIGHLY recommend taking photos of you and your spouse BEFORE and AFTER the wedding also, in addition to wedding photos. like the honeymoon. holidays, just daily life together when he/she visited - this is what they're looking for)
4. What do you and your spouse talk about ?
5. Please don't forget basic ORIGINAL documents. I could see people getting 221g because they forgot their original birth certificate. 
6. Be calm and honest, bless everyone there with the best outcome.

Looking at your timeline, it seems your case still at NVC at this point so not sure if it is applicable to people  who already have their appointments. My wife interview is next week so I hope this is not true!

Hi What category is yours?

Are you or your spouse US citizen?

[AchMo 2]

I just found this message on Facebook, not sure about Authenticity. Not applicable to me at the moment too. But this can be true based on current scenario.

[Sureshuma 3]

I have found the website with that info
