Oh c'mon, not to have a cell phone for a while won't hurt anyone, just leave it outside the car. When you finish interview then you can go outside and call family and let everyone know good result... Good luck.

The OP didn't say it would kill them, just asked if they were allowed. I wondered the same thing before my appointment just because I always have it on me and wouldn't want to make the mistake of bringing it with me (like normal) only to have to go back in the cold to leave it in my car and possibly be late.

OP, if I recall correctly at our location there were NO phones whatsoever allowed. I'd leave it to be safe.

We were permitted to leave our stuff with security in a little cubby and they gave us a number... HOWEVER, my husband forgot to leave his pocket knife in the car and had to go take it back to the car He was a little embarrassed
