I always say if you dont know.. dress like you would when you go see your grandma.

Yes that is true, Clean shirt, slacks, shoes. Think you are going to see grandma, or an important job interview. Formal attire is also too much.

Example:

Jon showed up at his interview wearing expensive leather shoes and around his neck, a chain with solid gold marijuana leaf dangling from it. The officer took one look at this and went right into questioning him as to weather he had ever tried, abused or sold drugs. Jon wouldn't admit to anything, she referred him for another medical exam. The doctor found evidence of drug use in Jon's bloodstream, and he was denied the visa.

So dont wear anything that will attract attention.

i'm sorry but i don't have a grandma. in any case, is it true that we cannot bring imitations of famous products inside the us embassy, such as louis vuitton bags or wallets, during the interview?

Well tamara .. just dress nice but not overly nice.. where clean pressed clothes.. nice pants and a nice polo for the guy and maybe a nice dress skirt or dress pants and a nice shirt for oyu .. as far as imitations.. uhhh never heard that one.. But when it doubt.. don't bring..

"Business casual" is probably the best choice, IMHO.

I agree. No need for formal dressing, but one should present themselves nicely. Business casual sounds great.
