Getting ready for a marriage-based green card (http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/marriage-based-green-cards)

interview? The below are sample questions to help you prepare.
Remember, there is no guarantee that the interviewer will ask you all or any of
these questions (though many of them are drawn from actual interviews). But
these should get you and your fianc or spouse started on the process of
testing each others memory. If it's a regular adjustment of status or visa
interview, you can expect only a few questions. If the immigration authorities
have become suspicious, however, believing that your marriage may be a
fraud to get a green card, you can expect a great number of these questions,
or questions like them, to be asked of you and your U.S. petitioner -separately, for comparison purposes.
We've divided the possible questions into thematic groupings. Again, these do
NOT come from any official list created by U.S. immigration authorities.

What did the two of you have in common?

Where did you go for dates?
