Hi All,

I have my interview date now...but it does say a time too...does 9:30am mean that i will actually have an interview at 9:30 or will i have to arrive at 7am and collect a ticket at the embassy....then wait my turn.

Do you have to dress up for the interview? or will jeans and t-shirt be ok..

How long does it take for them to go through all our documents? im filing the DCF route...so I-864, police records etc is going to be taken with us.

Thanks again all (this forum is the best)

Andy

Always reach the place 2 hours before the interview. Infact though the time given for my interview was 8:30 am, i was asked to be there an hour or so in advance..I went to the consulate the day before my interview to be sure of the location since it was not in the city i lived and was told by the security guard to reach well before time.

Further, be in semi formal or formal wear, that reflects your sincerity towards the matter.

Hope this would help!!

Dress for success. Generally, its good to arrive early but check on the recommended procedure for arrival time in the Consulate forum.
