All visa cases are reviewed by the Immigrant Visa unit's chief before they're sent back to USCIS.  If you e-mail the consulate's IV unit, put in the Subject line " To IV Unit Chief: A#____" (wife's A number).  Concisely state the facts surrounding the misunderstanding, and say absolutely nothing about quotas, racism, hags, very young officers, blame, etc.  "Innocent misinterpretation of responses" might be the reason to cite.

 

However, before you do this, you must, with your wife's full concentration, re-create the interview questions and answers as utterly precisely as possible.

Thanks for the information from you and everyone. My wife has a great memory and we've pretty much been huddled up into an hotel these past couple of days since the interview. We were embarrassed to return back home for now and needed some space to vent to each other and mostly tears from my wife and her confusion. I did take a video and ask her the questions and she repeated her whole experience in great detail. I will upload the video now and only give links to senior members on here so they can review and see what they think the problem is. Thanks everyone for your response and information and help. I'm hoping there's some light at the end of this tunnel. I missed my son's graduation to jr high to be at this interview with my wife so everything for me is really messed up in my eyes, but it's only my fault I won't blame my wife cause she only repeat my plans to invest in both countries so maybe the officer has a problem with that, but this is normal for anyone to do but I'll let senior members see the video once I get done uploading it.

I wonder if your wife implied that she would be travelling back and forth, rather than saying both of you would. Which would then mean they might assume you’d be living separately for a lot of the time and aren’t convinced it’s a legit marriage. 
 

Or they just aren’t convinced she’ll be making the US her permanent home, which of course as a legal permanent resident, she’d have to. 
 

But until you get the denial, there’s no way to know for sure. That will set out the exact reason(s) for you, which you can then try to rebut. 

I think this maybe be it. Me and my wife so everything together. She's literally my shadow. Even said she'd help me do collision work on my cars for my business🤣🤦🏾‍♂️I think maybe you're maybe right about the officer thinking otherwise and I really hope we can rectify the issue with understanding what she meant.

Were you, petitioner, invited to the interview at the embassy in the letter? Because usually only beneficiary goes to interview when going through consular route. And as one online lawyer says, nothing ever good happens when petitioner goes to the consular interview together with beneficiary

No I wasn't invited in the letter

I have the video uploaded for senior users that want to view what may went wrong and how I may be able to fix this

The only way you'll know is when you actually get the letter giving you the reasons for refusal. Easier said than done I know, but I'd just wait until then rather than trying to guess.
