Interview Question in Havana

Hello!

I am wondering what people said during their interview in Havana if they were asked the following questions:

1. Why do you want to marry in the US and not in Cuba?

2. Why do you want to live in the US and not in Cuba?

3. What job will you have in the US?

I am bringing my fiancé a list of potential questions so that he can familiarize himself with what may be asked during our interview. He can be very nervous and very stressed when under pressure and I want him to have ample time to feel relaxed beforehand.

We are marrying in the US because that is where we plan to live together and it would have taken a lot more money to marry during my trip and have all of the documents translated for a I-130 Petition for Alien Relative. In our situation it was cheaper and saved us time to go the fiancé route however as soon as he receives his green card we plan on returning to Cuba to get married there as well however there is no benefit to our life in the US to be married in Cuba. Is this an answer they will approve? I think it is obvious why we want to live in the US and not in Cuba but I am trying to figure out the best way to say it without offending anyone and I could use some suggestions. As far as his potential job it could be one of a few different because he has family here that own a few businesses but nothing is guaranteed nor is has his visa been approved so it is not like I can line things up when I don't know when he will be arriving in the US. I feel like these are all trick questions because it seems like there are no right or wrong answers since 1 & 2 are our opinions and 3 is only an possibility. A friend of mine was denied a family visa because she answered this type of question "wrong" and now she has to wait years before she can reapply.

Thank you for any input you may have!
