I feel so silly asking this question :blush: ,

but let me get this straight!

What did you guys wear to the AOS Interview???

Are we supposed to look somewhat dressy (suits)? or

Can we go casual (polo+Jeans, cotton skirts, etc)?

10/27/2005 Got Married in NY (F1 Status)!

We thought about applying for Green card @ US Embassy in Tokyo during the summer, since that usually takes about 3 month (way faster than AOS in NYC)- but we changed our plan! So now, we applied for AOS 5 months later...

03/29/2006 AOS Package Sent to Chicago

I wore the same type of business attire I would wear for work in an office, as I wanted to be taken seriously. I also made sure I was comfortable because the last thing I needed was to be fussing with my clothes:-).

Me...A suit/tie person normally... but I wore smart casual in London (for visa) and again in Charlotte (for AOS), as I felt most comfortable in that. They are really checking out 'YOU', not your clothes sense, I decided.

Be comfortable above all, as you might have a long wait for your turn. I hope this helps.

Good luck....Neil.

My interview was on a Friday, so I wore my jeans and a nice shirt, since I would be heading to the office after the interview. Hubby on the other hand was a bit dressier. So, I guess we were "mis-matched" :P . He had a job interview heading off to later that day.

I wore cotton shirt with jeans and sneakers. Marc was with his Harley shirt, black jeans and boots.

Nothing dressy, and we were fine. I think it doesn't matter.

I wore a skirt and casual top, my husband wore a nice pair of dress dockers and causual shirt.

I believe you don't want to look too formal, but not too sloppy either.

7-3-06 GREEN CARD ARRIVES IN MAIL!!!! Done for two years!!!!!!

I am here to help, even if it's just to offer my shoulder to cry or vent on... We are all in this together.!

My answers are based on personal experience, not fact.

We are on this rollercoaster ride together holding on for dear life.
