If it's any consolation, most people are fine when going back and forth and no problems arise. Even my husband visited me in the US multiple times during the process before getting approval. He was never asked anything other than "Where are you coming from?" None of my friends from other countries or my husband's family members who have visited me have ever been asked anything other than maybe "how long are you visiting?" or "where are you going?" Definitely take proof of ties if you have them of course, but generally MOST people aren't scrutinized too heavily especially those with an ESTA. Don't abuse it, and you likely won't lose it. My husband always traveled with a folder while we were working on the immigration process where he would have documents to try to prove ties to go home (although he realistically didn't have anything strong at all lol) and he never once had to show anything at the border. Congratulations on the baby!

We are also a strong and totally legit couple who applied for ROC 17 months ago. We were also told we are getting an interview and we have no clue why. Everything is financially co-mingled with lots of proof of living together and all of that. I just try to remind myself is that we are completely legitimate couple and any IO would see that, as we have nothing at all to hide. If you are in the same position, I wouldn't really worry about it. I'm more-so annoyed I need to take a day off of work in the future lol. I'm going under the assumption that they randomly select people to get interviewed. Maybe? We'll see....

I hope the best for you, but your visa isn't approved. It sounds like you made it past the NVC who just basically checks to see if your documents are in before sending it to the petitioner's country. Most people get past the NVC. Everything generally comes out later, especially lies (or lies by omission). Good luck though....

IF they are visiting as tourists with correct visas, neither.
