What should my wife wear to the interview

[FVA 0]

I saw quite a few females getting tested this morning and they were all pretty casual, and it looked like they all passed. I made my husband wear a tie, but no suit coat. Dress to impress. That's just how we are though, dressing up is not a big deal to us. Last time we were there for the InfoPass Appt. everyone was in suits and my husband and I were very casual (not an interview though).

Ha, the ones in suits were most likely attorneys, it's a small price they have to pay for charging 300 plus bucks per hour. Ha, we were invited to a wedding last week, a close friend of mine, wife asked, aren't you going to wear a suit? Replied, if I did, I would be the only one, but to appease her did wear long dress pants and a white shirt, ha, just about the only one there wearing long pants, so still stuck out like a sore thumb. Very causal around here.

i gotta say that at my wedding i was a bit shocked that most of the guests were wearing flip-flops and shorts and tank-tops. i was like #######!!! in my country everybody that goes to a wedding dresses as nice as they can, man wear suits and women fancy dinner dresses. so i had to analyze the cultural differences and not hate our guests for being disrespectful, because they weren't from their point of view.

plus, if you study body language and interpersonal communication, you will learn that the first impression counts a whole lot when people interact, no matter what culture they're from. the first impression is formed in the first 30 seconds. for US, picture meeting someone wearing a nice decent dress vs. a sexy blouse and short skirt - who will you trust more? the answer is obvious, the dress woman...

so i would say the way that you dress to an interview to obtain a citizenship matters a lot, if anything to show the interviewer you think this is an important event for you, and that you show respect to them.

(for the OP) i never knew what 'smart casual' means and stuff like that, but i would tell your wife to wear a nice decent dress, or something elegant but not flashy - a nice plain shirt and skirt or pants. it's always better to be overdressed than 'underdressed', i always say.

I think you summed it up well. It is about respect.

Discussed this thread with my wife, this coming Thursday is her day for her interview, she is not sure what she is going to wear, but commented that it is hot. Ha, I just fired back, if you got it, show it, LOL. She blushed.

Son came over yesterday and briefly read the 96 questions, a college graduate with honors, gee I can't answer any of these questions, wife said, she can. I quickly asked who is the chief justice of the supreme court, she fired back Robert John, LOL. Why did Bush have to appoint a guy with two first names? Hope she has it right now.
