RE: AOS interview

I was intervied with my spouse last week for the AOS. We were asked a whole bunch of questions seperately, of which there were minor discripances (see below)
1. When asked were we met, spouse gave (old) name of complex at the time, but I gave the current name.
2. Wife listed 3 of 4 of her siblings and mentioned their current location(omitted step-brother resident up north). I mentioned all 4 siblings and gave their current locaton.

The interviewer would have asked about 18 questions in all and these were the only discripance. Again if you typed the name of the complex on any search engine, it returns both names. However the officer said that he would have to look through the documents we submitted before making a decision. When pressed he alluded to the fact that perhaps he'd have approved it right away if say we had any kids. Nb.
My spouse has a 7yr old daughther and I have a 9 month old son that was concieved before I married my wife.

What do you make of this situation and what do you advice.
 
Mr Funnybag,
It’s not unusual, but rare to be questioned separately during your AOS interview.
Since I joined this forum I read only two other people’s posting about questioning separately among about 200 successful interview stories without any trick questions or separate rooms.
When INS decides to question married couple apart it means they suspect fraud in the application.
Usually separate interview gets triggered when married people don’t live at the same address, or if I-130 was filed while alien spouse was under deportation procedures,
or if there is not enough supporting evidence to approve that case.
So, which one are you?
Based only on those two discrepancies you listed, I wouldn’t worry too much about the outcome of your interview. They are not significant enough to deny your application.
But people been knows to learn and memories things about each other right before the interview….so please share some more information about your case, if you want a positive answer:
How long you two been married?
Do you live at the same address?
Did you bring any wedding photos to your interview?
Did you file last year taxes together?
Do you have any join accounts, like checking, or car insurance?
Did your wife have enough income to sponsor you, keeping in mind you are a family of three, or you had to sign as a co-sponsor?
Were you in a legal immigration status before your wife filed I-130 for you?
 
Thank you for your response.
We have been married since nov 2003 and yes we both live at the same add. We have documentary evidence to show that we cohabit. We presented copies of our joint saving and current account. We also provided docummentary evidence that showed joint ownership of property (car and household furniture). We also presented proof of medical, auto and life insurance in both our names.(medical bills going back about one yr). We have family photos (shows us with her family). We have photos of our vacation to Colorado, the irony was they never asked to see the photos. We filed 2003 & 04 income taxes toghether but incidentaly we left out the 2003 returns (we offered to have that mailed ASAP but they said it was not needed). We also presented letters of employment and paystubs showing cohabitation and direct deposit to our joint account. We gave them everything we had. Finally I am in perfect legal status when my I-30 was filled.
 
Perhaps what triggered the separate interview is the fact that you have a nine month old son with another woman (since you say "I" not "we" "have a son") while you were living with your current wife since november 2003.
