I know this may be a stupid question, but I've been wondering...

What should one wear to the interview?

Does it matter or should we wear something smart?

When my husband had his interview for the K-1 in London, he wore dress pants and a button down collared shirt even though his normal way to dress is a black tshirt and jeans with a studded belt and some converse chucks hi-tops

I wore black pants, a button up collared shirt, and closed toed flats. I normally wear jeans and a t-shirt/tank top. My hubby also wore nice pants and a shirt.

I saw people wearing jeans, crop-tops (midriff baring), and other things I thought were totally inappropriate. I would suggest wearing something similar to what you'd wear to a job interview. Dress to impress.

I figured it probably wasn't necessary to dress nicely, but also figured it'd probably help to show you were taking this whole thing seriously :)

thanks for the input

My husband is going to wear the suit he got for my dad's funeral because he wants to look professional

I still have no clue what I'm wearing, but I may have to go shopping lol

I think you can get away with converse... like I said there was a huge mix of what people were wearing. In my opinion I think you should dress nicely, and respectfully. I think chucks are ok if he wears a nice shirt.

no need to buy a new outfit, only if you want to ;) a cute dress with a sweater, or pants and a nice top would do fine!

Just got back from my interview. We went in an hour earlier, waited about an an hour and a half. :P We took our son with us and the interviewer was very nice. He had us swore to tell the truth and just ask simple questions as where and when we met but it was more like a casual conversation than an interview, he didn't even ask us for any additional papers or proof. He just went through the paper work and made sure everything was there and when he was done handed us a piece of paper congratulating us the the AOS was approved. :dance: He then said if he finished the paper work today I would get the GC in a few weeks. I just want to thank everyone at VJ and all those who are still going through the process to just hang in there. Good luck to every one.

Its all for LOVE..
