Nice slacks, blouse and shoes are good. She doesn't need to go as far as truly dressing up in a dress unless she's comfortable that way. Think business casual.

Dress comfortably and go for smart casual. Same as Caryh's suggestion, I went for black slacks and a nice blouse during my interview. Your fiancee can also go for a dress, whichever she is more at ease and confident with. As for shoes, I wore black flats, not heels. The idea is to wear something what she would wear in a job interview. Also, if she gets cold easily, best to bring a cardigan or blazer, as the waiting area inside the US embassy can be somewhat cold.

All the best to your fiancee's upcoming interview!

I know, right?! Imagine just how I survived last winter here at the north east, I think I have already evolved.

My wife likes when I keep our home's temp above 80. I've gotten her used to 78 after almost three years. I think she thinks she's cold if her skin feels cool air. I'm hoping to eventually be able to keep our house at 76.

Nice! I also watch the thermostat whenever my husband walk near it. Sometimes, he moves it to 72 - 75 when I'm not looking! lol. It's getting warmer here now, but the sudden bursts of wind is still a lot for me, so I still wear a coat when I go biking or for walk.

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to US Embassy & Consulate Discussion; topic is about this phase of the process & applicable to multiple processes.

78? Holy cow! That is suffocation temperature for me. I like my heat on 68 and air cond on 72.

Anyway, back to the original question: Candy wore black dress pants and a white dress shirt, and high heels. I told her there would be a lot of standing but she said it was OK. I don't know if the manner of dress made a difference but she did say that the COs were noticeably more courteous to her than to applicants in casual attire.

It is an interview. Job interview. Visa interview. Dress is really the same.

Better get ready for keeping your place a bit warmer. There is the occasional Filipina that can adjust easily to that cool of temps, but it takes a while.

We did fine last summer with the air conditioning in the bedroom at night. And I have a fireplace in my house to keep her warm in the winter (although she never experienced anything below 32F). Should be interesting.
