I know electronic devices such as cell phones are not allowed. Anything else? What about bags? I found a website that describes this but I can't find it now. And VJ Embassy Info doesn't provide any assistance in this way. Any input on what is or is not allowed would be appreciated. Thanks.

Like a business bags to put is papers in. I was just asking out of curiousity. It doesn't really matter, a family member will be accompanying him and they will be able to hold on to any possessions that he's not allowed to take into the embassy.

Thanks for your responses.

hi, i think it will be better for the person going for the interview to just take the documents needed and leave all other things not needed at home except someone will be going there with you that u can leave your properties with outside. they dont allow most things like phone, metal, makeup and all sort of things that we ladies put in our bags and you will find it very difficult and inconvenient to start bringing things out of your bag, the secuirities may not help you with keeping them.

so decide on what and how you want it. good luck on your interview
