The two of you will be interviewed primarily to determine whether your relationship is bona fide.

Isn't there a caveat, of sorts, if the J-1 visa had the '2 year home-stay" attached to it?

I believe you are doing AOS, nor IR1/CR1. So if you are doing AOS, are you saying that your wife was out of status ( illegally) in the USA for 6 months, and then you filed the papers? If that's the case then there is might be a penalty for that. You'll probably need as lawyer for that. Also if she has a 2 year home residency she will have to go back home and stay there for 2 years, unless you file for a waiver.

Overstays are forgiven when a person who legally entered the US, marries a USC but home residency requirements require a waiver process be completed with no gaurantees.

Was there a home residency requirment or not?
