This is a summary of my experience. After my first interview, i passed the test and every other thing was good but the IO said she need to see my wife. (my application was married based). She then gave me another interview date for 02/26/2010, for me to come with my wife and evidence of a bona fide marriage. my wife could not go with me at my first interview due to work. so i went with my wife for my second interview and to my surprise, it was a stock interview and recorded. IO made us sign some papers and sent me out first and interviewed my wife with series of questions. the IO then send my wife out and called me in and asked me more or less same questions she asked my wife. I have no fear and we answered all questions to the best of our knowledge. IO then stopped the tape after the interview was over. IO called my wife in and said she was going to review the answers and mail out a decisions that same day. today i just received my Oath letter for April 21 2010. I want to thank everyone in this forum and pray that Almighty God who did mine for me and my wife will also do the same for any of u waiting. All u guys need to do is believe and pray. If anyone have any questions, i will be happy to answer. right now i am thankful to God that it was a happy ending. I did not go with attorney because we could not afford it and beside our marriage was real.
 
It is funny I was speed-reading "shock" instead of "stock" until Bob pointed it out.

Stock interview

stock interview means when IO seperate u and your wife for interview or has some doubt about ur marriage. age difference could be a reason but it all depend on the IO and what mode he or she is in that day. my AOS and ROC was fine without any problem and i have had the same job. I have all the requirements needed. example, we file our taxes jointly, we bought car jointly, i have health insurance through my job for me and my wife and step-children, i also have life insurance through my job in which my wife was the beneficiary, auto insurance, joint lease, infact i have everything one could think of because me and my wife do stuff together, we also have joint account. i think the IO was having a bad day or maybe because my wife did not go with me at the first interview. what ever the case maybe, i thank the Almighty God once again for happy ending and wish everyone on this journey a happy ending too. For those who PM me about what documents i submitted, i hope this will help and if not let me know. some of the questions asked during the stock interview was like, what side of the bed u sleep, what is the reletionship between me and my mother inlaw, how i meet my wife, who proposed, how many people attend our wedding, etc. alot of questions. infact it was like drilling. but we have nothing to hide and we answered all questions to the best of our knowledge even though we were seperated. the interview took about 2 hours. like i said earlier we can't afford attorney and we have nothing to hide, so we were by ourself and answered all the questions. One advise i have for marriage based applicant is that u go with your spouse to the interview because u never know.
 
So basically same type of interview for marriage based AOS. It's not unheard of that IOs ask to question spouse. Was this a recent marriage? Were either of you ever divorced?
 
we have been married for 4 yrs now and my wife (USC) had one divorce and that was in 1985. over 24 yrs. During our AOS in 2007, we were never asked the type of questions we were asked during our N400 and my ROC was approved without interview. thanks.
 
Sounds like IO and possibly DO supervisor were being overly cautious by ruling out possibility of scam marriage.
