I will wear a nice jacket and a skirt, but very neutral color, so it looks nice, but doesn't draw attention. I think you should dress up, but not overdo it. I treat it like it is a job interview.

I think business casual is appropriate. I too felt that I wanted to show the immigration officials that this was important to me so I too treated it like a job situation where I was expected to present a good impression. First impressions are important.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

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.

Ditto :)

We both wore jeans and sweaters. As long as you don't show up in your sweatpants and flip-flops, it doesn't matter what you're wearing :)

There were two dressed up couples in front of us, who left the IO's office looking very unhappy, so I really don't think your outfit makes any difference :)

Good luck! :)

I agree that impressions do count. I had to go to work after the interview, so I had business casual attire. Rob wore cords and a golf shirt. The other people waiting to be interview were dressed casually but not sloppy. Don’t over do it, but try to look nice. Although, it’s true, it wont really matter as long as you have all your paper work (and your relationship of course) together.
