Arrived for interview at 9.05 am, scheduled for 9.30 am, called in at 9.40 am. Our officer was very casual and friendly. We took the oath, then she asked us how we met (in England) and what we were doing at the time (working/studying respectively). What date did we get engaged; where was the ceremony; was it church or civil; how many guests. She asked my husband (US citizen) if he was born in America. She asked me what visa I was on when I first came over (non-immigrant work visa - E3). She then took me through the standard questions (terrorism etc) and asked if we had anything else to show her. We gave her some loose photos to keep - from when we were dating, the wedding, a few more recent. She flipped through and took a few to keep (I noticed she kept the ones that showed us conspicuously traveling together - e.g. us in front of the Louvre, us in front of a Dutch windmill, us in front of Loch Ness; she also kept one of us with my family at the wedding). We had a lot of extra things to give her but she didn't ask for anything else, other than our most recent tax return (we submitted the AOS packet in January, before we had filed for 2013).
She then said that we were a very easy case, she likes couples like us, and told us about another couple where there was a 31 year age gap ("You guys are the same age...and you speak the same language"), and another couple where he was Puerto Rican and she was Romanian and they didn't speak the same language. She thought that was kinda funny - anyway she was basically saying we had no red flags, everything was in order. She said she would order card production on Friday, but I got a message a few hours later that it was in production. She reminded us to remove conditions in two years, and also checked that the medical form was still valid (I had it done last October). Walked us out, thanked us for being an easy case. It was over in 15 minutes.
