Ok with my interview comming up in a few weeks (hoping they don't deschedual it), I have a simple question to those that have already gone through with it. How did you dress?

Reason is, I read on another board someone suggested to dress up for the Naturalization interview. Now I hadn't ever dressed up for any INS things before (including the one for my green card), so I'm just curious what people on here wore. Jeans? Dresses? Dress pants? Bermuda shorts? etc. And if you waited before getting your interview, what were others that were waiting for their naturalization interview dressed up like as well? I'm just trying to get an idea, I don't want to over dress or under dress, and the less dressy the better...

I'm just a wanderer in the desert winds...

It's really just a personal choice - and it's usually easier to give a good impression during a brief interaction if you put some effort into your appearance. But I don't think they will turn you away or anything. I don't remember people being especially dressed up when I went, I actually can't remember what I wore...but I probably wore something a step up from jeans.

Ok I'm just debating on my hair too. Right now it's kind of long and I'm saving it for New years. When I get home I will probably have it cut, but the first few weeks it always looks like #######. So I don't want to look like I'm doing all this just for the interview after all my photos I have that they have (including the back up ones to sign) all have me with longer hair.

I just don't want them thinking I'm trying to kiss up or anything (of course that may be the American way ha ha)...

None of this matters whatsoever, especially if all your pics have longer hair. Really, the majority of immigrants goin into INS do not have a lot of money, they care about the content of the interview, that is all.

How can one claim God cares to judge a fornicator over judging a lying, conniving bully? I guess you would if you are the lying, conniving bully.
