What to Wear to Interview?

[Joanne and Adam 15]

Now that all my papers and documents are assembled, my only worries are that of my wardrobe.

What do you wear to the interview? Is it just casual dress like stuff you'd usually wear, or should you dress as if you're going to a job interview?
I've heard different things and can't figure out if there even IS a set way to dress for this...

So I leave it to you, kind people of Visa Journey,

What SHOULD you wear to the Interview at the Embassy?

?

I wore a T shirt and jeans with a black hoodie. There was 1 person during my interview day that had on a suit, but maybe it's embassy specific.

Tshirt, jeans and a black hoody! Sounds like me. Comfort first!

I'd hate to show up having made a real effort and then stick out like a sore thumb cause everyone's in casual clothes

Wear something comfortable yet tidy, and you should be fine. I wore grey pants and a warm Norwegian pullover to my interview (as it was in November). I saw a lot of people who were just wearing jeans and comfy shirts.

There is no dress code what so ever for London. The interview is not judged on the way you dress, but the evidence before them. So as long as you have all of that together then you will be fine.

When I went for my interview I wore jeans and a short sleeved shirt, smart casual.

Hope that puts your mind at ease

Watch this video of the London embassy and see for yourself what people are wearing. It is exactly how your day will go, except the questions they are asking are more for student visas. Your questions will be about your fiancé.

Wei ! Where have you been? Come post something in the China Portal, soonish?

I think you should wear something like if you are going to a job interview

Smart-Casual it is! Thanks for your opinions guys!

That video is really funky. Makes me feel more relaxed about the whole thing

My husband wore a suit. No playing around in the hard embassies! (but he chose this himself, not on any guidance)

That's what somebody else said when I posted it in the London K1 help thread. They said they were going to be real disappointed if they didn't hear that music in the embassy. Anyway, now you've had a tour of how it goes, so less of the unknown to intimidate you.

You mean that music ISN'T playing in the background at the Embassy?

Damn...
