I am scheduled for an interview at the USCIS in Chicago - 101 West Congress Parkway - next week.

Will I be allowed to bring a bag with me. If not, are there lockers where a bag could be stored? I will be staying that evening in Chicago so will need a change of clothes.

Thanks

Not sure about the rules about bringing in bags, but here's what Chicago lists as "prohibited items" so if you do take a bag, make sure you don't have any of these things in it:

http://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices/illinois-chicago-field-office#ProhibitedItems

Prohibited Items

Rules and regulations governing public buildings and grounds can be found at Title 41, Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart 101-20.3 and Title 18, United States Code, Section 930. Additionally, this office prohibits:

  • Scissors, Razors, and Other Sharp Objects
  • Flammable Liquids
  • Food or Beverages (except for medical reasons)

By the time I'm done with USCIS, I'll be a black-belt.
