Hi I have my interview this Tuestay the 30th, and I'm not sure what to wear. What did you wear and what did you see other people wearing? Thanks for your help

I don't think there is a real dress code for the interview but common sense tells me that you best wear something decent. This shows respect to the IO. You want to make the best impression possible.

I dressed nice but didn't over dress. I think formal attire is too over the top. Understated and respectable is I think best. USCIS agent are not in tuxedo's and ball gowns after all.

I wore a pants suit. A lady that sat beside had sweats pants on and a shabby winter cap. Hey she looked very untidy, but she passed the interview and all. I also saw a lot of folks wearing jeans and knee boots.

Good things come to those who wait. :)

I wore business casual - a summer dress with nice sandals as my interview was in August - something nice that I would wear to work without being too formal. I saw people dressed in everything from suits to jeans. You want to make a good first impression so dress nicely and appropriately but don't go overboard. Good luck. :)

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
