He needs to be prepared and carry all the necessary documentation & don't forget any documents in order to avoid A.P. Be on time, I would like to say it will be easy interview but unfortunately it won't be easy, he should not hesitate and mumble. 

 

Make sure he take as many proof for the wedding pics.. etc 

 

he should answer truthfully and stricktly straight forward answer to questions. 

 

 

All the best and good luck

Pretty much this. 

But also want to add the interview could become an interrogation, especially of the CO or COs feel the marriage isn't real.  My advice to your husband is that if  this happens, he needs to keep his cool and don't let them rattle him and he should be fine.
