Wife was given a paper after interview that we will have to pay a $160 visa fee before see can travel. Did this happen to anyone? I thought we paid all the fees at the NVC. Please help because wife will be traveling soon.

Sounds like the Green Card fee (for printing it), although that's $165.

She can pay it after POE, but the sooner the better as the GC won't be generated until it's paid.

The interview was quick about less than 20 minutes. The officer asked simple questions like how we met, marriage date, address in US, and tell me something about the city. They only asked for to see documents listed in the interview letter. It was for my wife and I wasn't there. I don't know if they will allow both. I suggest that you do a mock interview and ask as many questions as you can about anything that was submitted. It is better to be over prepared. Let me if you have any questions.
