Like most Embassies the queue is long. Once transferred from USCIS you will have to wait months for an interview date. As for the actual interview there's nothing much to say really. No surprises. Have all your information lined up and have more than you think you need, expect to be questioned on everything ensuring your spouse knows everything about you and your extended family. The Embassy will run a full background check on you through LexisNexis so any errors or omissions will be glaring. They have all of the answers to the questions they will be asking, they are simply checking if what you and your spouse says matches the report.
Show your spouses name on any and all health care documents, financial reports like retirement plans or bank accounts, show them as beneficiaries in the event of your death, anything to show you are a real couple. Expect your spouse to be questioned extremely hard, expect the Embassy to try to break him/her, bring them to tears, to accept defeat, to get angry. Prepare your spouse for that, for what to expect and all will be well. You may feel this is inhumane, an insult, humiliating, etc but you're just going to have to deal with it. The responsibility of the Embassy is to ensure all transactions are real, if you don't want to be subjected to this treatment don't apply for a Visa, especially if your corroborating evidence is light and not long in length of years. Affidavits from friends and family carry little weight.
