A LONG READ...
My interview was initially scheduled for the 12th of Jan but then reschedule to the 3rd of Feb  (This was when i started perceiving God's mercy)
On the interview day we followed same procedure Passport submission and others, then sat down to be called, i was number 3 but shockingly i turned out to be the second person to be interviewed maybe cos I'm IR1(I don't know) I watched closely how the first person was being interrogated by the CO in window 20, she was easy i felt relaxed, a woman, something I've always hoped for... long story short his visa got issued! 
I was waiting on number 2 to be called then i saw the CO going through my paperwork "Oh it's my turn" i felt relieved and ready, not long then she called number 3, i stood up and the interview goes thus:
ME: Good morning
CO: Replied
CO: Take off your mask for identity confirmation 
CO: Raise your right hand "Bla bla bla to say the truth"
ME: YES!
CO: Who's petitioning for you 
ME replied My wife( stating her long name with my last name)
CO: How and where did you meet your spouse
ME: On Facebook 8th of Sept 2014( wanted to give more details on the "HOW" but i kept my energy, since the first guy doesn't explain too)
CO: And y'all get married on the... (stuttering and looking at my marriage certificate)
ME: 20th of... 2018 (I didn't take no chance)
CO: Okay
CO: I see y'all had a court wedding
ME: Yes, on our blue african attire with beads on (Reaching for my big heavy album)
CO: Oh no no I'm not about to look at that big... i can see your pictures here (I uploaded more than 60 pictures at the NVC)
ME: Ok
CO: How many times has your wife visited
ME: 1time for 57 days (Me trying to explain why 1time but got shunned...)
CO: 1 time right... okay okay.
CO: Have you been married before? do you have children do your wife? or does she have children?
ME: No no no no!
CO: Can i see your call log and chats
ME: Handed all it her
CO: Do your wife give you transcripts?
ME: "Reached for my folder without saying nothing" i gave her my 2019 return and IRS w2 then explained: My wife had requested for the transcript but they said they are backlogged and they don't know when it will be ready
CO: Okay(Typing and moving the mouse, this took about 3min and she keep saying 1sec pls 1sec pls sir!) 
ME: Me okay ma! "In my head, it's show time"
CO: What is your wife occupation 
ME: Replied 
CO: What is your occupation 
ME: Replied
CO: "Reached for a white sheet" then said: this is your right blablabla go through it when you home.
ME: Okay thank you (I thought I've been approved, was waiting on the second positive paper)
CO: "Reached for a sheet" So tell your wife to get a JOINT SPONSOR, i can see she have two of her siblings as dependants plus you that's family of 4 and with what she made here is not enough( She already took her pen writing something on the paper, i was lost! but then summoned courage, i said in my head if i collect this PAPER FROM THIS WOMAN IT WILL BE AN EXTRA YEAR, MAYBE MORE! NEVER!!! so i spoke up while she's still writing...
ME: Ma, that was 2018 when she was helping my mother inlaw take care of her siblings cos she wasn't financially stable at that time but she's financially fit now taking care of her own children, (SHE PAUSED WHAT SHE WAS WRITING) She lives alone, she has nothing to do with the kids she lives alone now (i said this like 3 times) 
CO: So she don't claim them no more 
ME: Yes!
CO: (Tore what she already wrote then opt for the right sheet) Said: You're approved 
ME: Didn't even listen to anything else, i just said thank you with huge smile, made sure she saw it through the mask... I folded my eyes so she can see it! and she did smile back at me.
7HRS LATER STATUS SAID ISSUED! 
PLS PRACTISE ON HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF!
They want you to talk, that's why it's called an interview.  KEEP CALM, TAKE IT THEN GIVE IT BACK! And reach for the GREEN LIGHT!
