More info is needed. What relationship/what kind of case? Which consulate? Or if this is an interview in the US, which country(ies) are the beneficiary and petitioner from? Why is a second interview required?

I'm a US Citizen petitioned for my wife for adjustment of status here in NY. Her I 130,I131,I765 are all approved. We got a request for a second interview, just curious if I should submit a relationship letter with timeline. Should I have an attorney accompany us for the I485 interview?

Please note I was NOT interviewed in the first one ,only my wife. Thank you for your response. Please advise.

Thanks. Are you both being interviewed or just her? When was the first interview and did they indicate doubt in your relationship during it? 
 

What status is your wife adjusting from?

No doubt in relationship as per what my wife mentioned. She was the only one interviewed, and now the second interview its for her I485.

The first interview is for her I485.

Now she has a second interview also I485. 

So you say my letter would help? Also they never asked for any evidence, just worried why second interview. Thank you.

Rather than a letter, you need to take relationship evidence, that the marriage is bona fide.  Take documents from the entire history since marriage.  Best evidence is joint lease/mortgage, shared bank account statements, etc.  Also make sure you have evidence since filing the I-485.  Both of you were asked to go to a second I-485 interview, correct?  If so, prepare thoroughly as it may be a "Stokes interview" where you could be interviewed separately to make sure your answers match or at least line up.  They could be looking for fraud so it will be on both of you to show them it is not.  An attorney would be useful for this interview if you already have one who is familiar with your case, or a new one to help you prepare and be there for support.  Good luck!

I' ve got all those ,one of the questions that was asked of her is if she knew her visa was revoked.

She travelled 4 times back and forth and never knew that but she overstayed her visa in 2020 when covid hit. What you suggest. Thank you so much.

Lots of red flags lawyer time

Highly recommend an attorney - As @carmel34 stated above, 2nd interviews are usually Stokes interviews and will probably not be pleasant

Obviously they seek more info about the bonafides of your marriage.
