Wow congratulations 🎊🎉🍾... did you go with 2017 tax transcripts? 

Had interview last Thursday April 12 at Lagos consulate Nigeria. The interview lasted for about two minutes. The consulate only asked what is my name and what my spouse do for living and he said welcome to American. He handed me two white papers one with instructions on how to create a profile online for passport pick up and the other with instructions on how to pay for green card which is $220. The online status changed to administrative processing right after the interview and on Friday it changed to issued. Now just waiting to pick up passport hopefully tomorrow. The w2s that NVC specifically  ask to be taken to interview because it was not submitted to NVC, the consulate didn't even asked for it neither did he even asked for any wedding pictures. He seems he already made his decision even before he started the interview. 

Hey All, 
 
I just wanted to give an update that we had our interview on Friday and were approved! My wife burst into tears when she interviewer told us the decision and had a lot of thumbs up and congratulations from everyone in the waiting room (most people could hear the interview happening as it was at a window in front of about 20 other people waiting). They only asked us two questions, how we met, and what happened after that (we told a short summary of how we talked every day and when we were married, how many times I have visited Brazil). Then she said we were approved. They didn't ask to see any photos or any documents even though I brought about 30 pages worth!
 
Hopefully the visa will come this week since we chose to have it delivered within the same city as the consulate to speed things up. Almost 1 year after our wedding and it's finally happening, for anyone else waiting feeling stressed and frustrated don't give up!

Congrats! Our interview is in the DR on 5/23, just over a month away until this part of the journey is finally over!

Thanks so much for your encouragement @Faithunlimited. This journey has been long and hard (as we all know). I am just ready to hear the magic words "Your visa is approved". By the grace of God we will all be with our loved ones for good very soon!

Sorry. Not much here. Just that it's always better to be honest. My answers to these questions would be:
 
1. Because we've lived together in my husband's country and I want him to know where I'm from and get to know my family. and/or that we can work better together to acheive our goals as a couple (in building a family and financially supporting them)
 
2. We currently don't have plans to leave the US at least for a few years, but we do plan to live between the two countries. We will also be taking trips to visit family in his country frequently. 
 
Not sure if that helps, but like Dee elle says above, just be honest and truthful.

I came across this 2 annoying questions while exploring other vj forum but can't seem to wrap my head around it. Can anyone kindly respond to these questions or make a comment about it. Thanks.
1. As a couple, why did you decide to move to the US rather than your own country?
2. When do you plan on leaving the US after entry? 

Amen, congratulations. Your interview went great. Now you just have to wait a few business days to get his passport, keep us posted.

Hi guys! I just called today and they got us an interview!

Interview Date: 5/10/18

Our journey is almost over!

Yes, i lived in the US and thats where i met and married my husband. I only came back out to get the visa. I had a waiver to pardon the 10 year bar for being in the country illegally. 

I hope you get yours fast!!

I took all the documents from the checklist but they only asked me for my ds-260 confirmation, appt letter, birth certificate and marriage certificate. 
But in there you can hear other people’s process and there was people that had to show a lot more things. 
The interview was only less than 5 mins , the waiting inside for it was like 2hrs. 
They asked about my petitioner, my husband, and about what he does for a living. About his siblings. Also about when, how and with who i entered the country, and then if i was going to work when i came back. And that was it! 

I had my interview today! 
I got Aproved!!!!! 
 
Just for reference in case anyone wants to know my timeline:
