Immigration laws have changed and the interviews have become more strict. This might be considered a Stokes Interview because now this is based on marriage, so the additionl level of insuring you are truly a married couple and still inhabiting the same property. Contact the immigration office to confirm your interview and ask casually why it insisted on a second interview. Give the timeline of your previous application and approval.
