yes...He will wear his uniform coz after the interview he have to go back to his work..thanks

If you had said that, back at post #1, you'd get different responses.

What's up?

FWIW, of course it's allowed, as he 'made muster' that morning, is running a personal errand (interview with USCIS) and is returning to duty right after.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

I personally would not want anymore attention than I already have on me when in the PI. It makes him a target and sticks out. Is he stationed in the PI or just visiting?

I don't know what branch he is in but there are regulations regarding wearing military uniforms. By Army regulations,you are not permitted to wear it when not on official Army business, or when not o

Even if it's okay by the rules, I wouldn't do it, it can look like he is trying to use it to his advantage to influence the officer.

In that case, I see no issue with it. In the original post we didnt know where the interview was going to take place. Did you just update your filed for and timeline? I thought it said something different when I replied before...which is why I thought you were in the PI.

My timeline is updated ever since I started this post... sorry if you guys get confused if we were in the PI or CA...

thanks anyway :)

My hubby would never wear his uniform for that reason. He dislikes it when people wear it out to get special attention. Plus the haircut and demeanor should give it away. You will be fine even if he is in civis. He also wore his uniform for our wedding, but we had a military wedding. Its not meant to be worn in public for no reason :)

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png

There is nothing wrong with wearing the normal duty uniform to appointments like that. If he put on service dress just for the appointment, then that would be a little different IMO.

my husband has worn his uniform for non duty things? he wears his ACUs all the time though where you talking about the actual dress blue uniform? or the ACUs? either way im sure they are going to know that he is in the military by all the paper work so i wouldn't suggest it just because i wouldn't want all that extra attention from people you know? good luck!

Makes sense. I usually try to avoid wearing my uniform to anything that doesn't directly pertain to work, but if it fall in the middle of the duty day, it (usually) doesn't make sense to change strictly for the interview.
