Awaiting Interview! Please advise!

Disaster

Registered Users (C)
My US Citizen wife filed I-130 in 12/2006 when we were married for over 3 years. We were married in 2003, in Canada where I was waiting for decision on my refugee/asylum application. My application was refused and I left Canada in Nov.2006, after that my petition was filed. I have gone through the whole process and soon going to appear for interview at US embassy in Pakistan. Can anyone tell me how my 9 years of stay in Canada and all that will affect my interview. What should I expect? Is there any adverse affects of being in Canada?
We have a 3 year old son who was born in Canada, and my wife with our son is residing in US since March 2005 and both are USC now. That means we are apart for 3 years now. My interview is in May 08, by that time it will be five years to our marriage, out of which we were living apart for 3 years. This is a disaster, but the only reason we are living apart and going through this misery is because our son requires special medical care and we can not afford him to be in Pakistan. For the sake of his condition my wife has to live in US.
I just need some advise from a professional and/or experienced member of this forum. I can not afford any issues/delays anymore, my family needs me, they need my support.
 
FURTHER TO THE SITUATION
I was married in July2003, at that time my wife was LPR for 2years (she became LPR in June2001). Initially, I was scared to go back to Pakistan, then I decided to go back after the birth of our child in Aug2004.
At birth in Canada, our son had medical complications keeping him hospitalized until Mar2005, during this hospitalization he went through two major surgeories. After, his release from the hospital he was facing post treatment problems. His pancrease was been removed. He is stuck with the problem for his lifetime.
During his 7 months hospitalization, I was always worried to be sent back(removed/deported) to Pakistan while my son was hospitalized in Canada - it was impossible for him to travel to US even with the air ambulance, so I continued with the asylum (Pre-removal Risk Assesment) process and fortunately or unfortunately the process which was supposed to come to a decision very fast (within few months) took exactly what was needed for the release from hospital, to send my wife and son back to US and arrange his medical assistance in US.
It took me enormous efforts to arrange medicaid (socail benefit) for my son in US as he was also LPR until my wife had her citizenship, in October 2006. All these efforts to have him settled in US was only possible while I was in Canada, it took me months of discussion, research, communication with Human Services department, telephonic conversations and emails. I called and emailed hundreds of people in Medicaid and Human Services County-wide, State-wide and Region-wide. I didnt go to work for almost a month and was involved in it from 9am till 5pm. My debts went up too high, I didnt even have money to buy ticket for Pakistan, my rent was due for several months, all these were paid off while I was waiting for the final decision. I even paid my air travel after removal from Canada.
My wife filed my petition after her citizenship in December 2006. Immediately after I came back to Pakistan in Nov 2006.
