Great words of advice Sandy!
As for making their decision prior to the interview.....I'm not sure if I am right but....
I think it would be pretty standard to have made a preliminary decision going into the interview.
They are interviewing BECAUSE they don't really believe the relationship or something important about you or your spouse to be true and want to question it further.
From my thinking, that almost means that unless you can prove yourself to more legitimate than your application portrays you to be it would likely be a denial.
If they didn't have any questions about your "genuineness" then you would be approved without an interview.
Going back to what Santos said about communication.....
How many people include proof of communication in some form other than calling cards...ex..detailed phone bills, emails, chat records etc....and were still asked for an interview?
I think it might be a good question for discussion....
DISCUSSION MOVED HERE....
