I want to visit my husband, and wait with him in Pakistan for his visa.

Is it likely that I'd have to return to the US for an interview?

Without my husband??

Would they consider doing the interview at the embassy?

And the fingerprints if these are needed?

Conducting a standard interview and collecting biometrics from the petitioner fairly rare. However, leaving the US for an extended period prior to NOA2 can be risky. It's a judgment call.
