I have seen people report that they were questioned separately at their first interview, but this is not common. It is the typical norm for the couple to be questioned together and only need one interview to be approved. If they suspect fraud is involved, then they may call the couple back for a Stokes interview.

After the H-ll of Lagos , AOS is a cakewalk. They usually let you stay together and just want to see that you are a couple and have evidence of that . A couple of questions, a quick observation of your behavior together and you are good to go. Most people that have tough AOS interviews are those that are adjusting from shady methods / long overstays

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Agree with everyone above. As long as everything you submit is legit and nothing that would raise eyebrows you should be just fine.

Please give me the answer to this question.

On the interview letter. They said bring an translater to the interview if my wife doesn't speak/understand English.

But they also said I need to be there. Well, I can be the translator for my wife so does that mean i still have to get a translator with us to the interview?

My understanding is that they will want your wife to answer specific questions (about you and your relationship) by herself. If you are interpreting for her, they won't be able to trust that you are not coaching her or supplying her answers for her.
