If this is a factor, it should be easy for them to decide about.

It is.  If they didn't ask much, maybe they were satisfied.

This sounds promising.  If I were you, I'd wait for a week or two (this will be hard, we all know), then e-mail the consulate (with your A number in the Subject line) to ask the status.  In the meantime, try to relax and distract yourself.

One more focus they were doing on the money we share with each other. CO asked you send money to your wife and your parents so you don't spend money on yourself. For which I replied I earn money for my Family and my wife i live here on sharing apartment which is common practice here in UAE, I don't have much expenses for me. She asked how you share money with your wife who paid for trips I said like she came now air ticket by me and Accommodations by my wife we share always in our all trips. My wife said almost the same but in different way that we do half and half when we we visit. The focus was that we are always hand to mouth on expenses but all is the struggle to keep meeting each other almost every year. But they have issue in both if we meet they think its expensive to spend and what you earn you spend all and if we don't meet it still will be a problem. Thats one of the reason I couldn't visit my home country too. Which I explained too.

We met before marriage 7 days 2018

We married in Egypt 24 Days 2020

My wife visit 3 and month 2021

My wife visit 45 days 2023

My wife visit 7 month 2024

And wife visited now for interview 

Even these long trips they were seeing not important or may be we are overthinking that why they didn't asked about our time spent together

But presumably you’ve given evidence of these trips already? So that’s why they don’t need to ask about them. 
 

It seems like they had concerns about the validity of the marriage. Her filing her taxes as single, and you only spending 7 days together before marrying, coupled with you being from Pakistan (a high fraud country) were probably why.
 

But it sounds like the interviews went well and you’ve provided plenty of evidence of a genuine marriage, so fingers crossed. 
 

Good luck.

Yes I provided the all the evidence of all trips in details which included tickets, Passport stamps, Apartment places where we lived together the hotel apartment bookings if any, or Online food orders that delivered to same address, any Entry and exit of country statement issued by UAE government, her Spouse visa with me sent to Embassy by Email, I was remembering it on finger tips for which she given me full time to explain without interruption until she noted on her system, yes prior to marriage we met for 7-8 days in UAE, we married on our second trip and her parents, her sisters and her uncles are aware of it and we provided few pictures with her family during the trip after 4 months from our marriage she came to live together approximately 3 and half month, her parents visited us for  4 to 5 days in UAE for which we provided pictures too. I informed her that although my parents weren't present in our Marriage that all due to covid travel restriction and limited travel and but it was with my parents permission for which she replied Yes i know you have a proof of that because I explained her about Egyptian process to marry in Egypt A foreigner need NOC from my home country which is subject Affidavit from Spouse parents which i offered to give her but she wanted verbal statement from me which she was noting on her system. the first question CO asked my Wife that you weren't needed to Travel for interview and you only came for interview from traveling all back from US to UAE. only a phone call was enough. My Wife replied that Yes because i dont wanted to give an excuse again to not let us together, I was not aware my Wife will say this. after her reply for few seconds a little silence in the room and then she moved to next question after noting in the system.
