I have not had our interview yet but I have read many cases where the spouse attends.  It seems we can go inside but depending on the officer we may not be able to be at the interview window.  Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.  I think it's still beneficial even if you can not stand with your spouse at the window that they know you are there with her.

Read through some of the consulate reviews and do an advanced search for interview at Islamabad its a lot of digging since not many Pakistani members post updated information..lol I noticed most post from them are questions.

 

Here is one review from Feb. 2017: 

 

"We greeted him and he replied with a smile and asked if I need an interpreter which I refused with thanks. Then he asked my wife about her arrival and her return flight (which was 27th Feb) He smiled and said so you are here to collect him and she smiled and said yes, Then he told my wife gently to wait and then he asked me several questions."

Yes, Petitioner can come to US Embassy along with beneficiary but it all depends on Co whether he/she wants petitioner to attend an Interview. 
Beneficiary can tell Co that his/her spouse is with him/her. Then chances are that Co would ask petitioner to attend an interview as well.

Yes you can attend, make sure you have your passport on you

 

I went to the interview with my husband and stood with him the entire time, initially I did not speak when he was being interviewed, but then the CO said I should feel free to answer as well

there is no reason you would not be able to stand with your wife during the entire process with the exception of if they take her into a room for additional questioning (which happens very rarely)
