Expect the same type of questions as an Adjustment of Status interview.  You Google for those questions.

If you have a bonafide relationship,  there would be no question asked that you wouldn't be able to answer 

YMMV

If it’s a second interview, and they’re asking for the petitioner to be available by phone, then clearly there are red flags about the bonafides of the relationship.

 

What happened during the first interview?  What were the circumstances of you meeting and marrying?   How much time has been spent together in person?

 

it’s likely they will also conduct a Stokes type phone interview and speak to you both separately.

I think @Jorgedig is correct.  As I recall, you have a history of a prior refusal due to the Nigeria ban.

My advice is to relax and tell the truth.....just as you did in your first interview.  Good luck.

LOL one of those

 

They just want to ask how you met, what made you decide to get married, maybe about your families...just to verify it’s a bonafide marriage.  Relax, be direct, tell the truth.  It’s a good sign.

There were no red flags, Trump caused it because of the ban I would have gotten my visa after my interview
