Yes, you can attend your husband's embassy interview. It can be helpful in a point that the consular officer can see your pictures and be sure that you are the same persons right away. But the consular officer can also ask you lot of questions about you. It depends on the consular officer. it can be a piece of cake or you can be asked lots of questions. So in a nutshell, it is better, if you can attend. But if you can not, it wont do any harm either, as most if the time, the petitioner does not accompany the beneficiary during the interview.

Make sure, you take your US Passport, Driving License, Social Security Card, business card with you.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview
