A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

We dressed nicely but not so "elegant", I noticed when we got our interview that there were couples wearing jeans, so actually there is not a rule for it, but I would suggest to be just nice without being too much elegant.

Good luck for your interview!!!!! :jest:

My understanding is that there's the possibility they'll interview you separately, but that generally, couples are interviewed together.

Conditions Removed! Ten-year green card received 6/24/2009. No more USCIS for a very long time.

I have read accounts of iterviews together and separate. So apparently it is at the discretion of the interviewer.

We dressed up, some people looked terrible there tho :blink: made me wonder what they were thinking. We were interviewed together and then seperately. But like someone said i think it all depends on the officer.

If I were an immigration officer I would expect the persson I were interviewing to take things seriously and show up looking like they gave a damn. If you can't be bothered to look like you care you will be harder to convince them that you really want a to be there. Smart (not a suit but definitely a shirt and tie). Just my two cents worth but why take a risk of making a bad impression when it's the easiest thing in the world to look smart for one day - pretend it's a job interview.

We wore jeans.

I honestly don't think they care what you're wearing, as long as your paperwork is in order and you're not trying to get a green card with a sham marriage.

Usual rules apply as for any close quarters environment however, have a shower before you go, and not too much cologne or perfume.

I really don't think they care if you dye your hair purple though. Its the relationship they're looking at, not your fashion sense.

divorced - April 2010 moved back to Ontario May 2010 and surrendered green card

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!
