Can you wear slippers to the CR1 interview at the embassy?

Embassy is in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Can my wife wear slippers to the interview?

There's no dress code.  Basic courtesy to wear clean, appropriate in public clothes, but no need to dress up, or go formal.

Slippers meaning like flipflops you would wear to the beach? 

 

I mean, I don't see a reason why she couldn't, but personally I would not. For the simple reason that any little bit of dirt or mud would end up on my feet and I don't want to show up to an important visa interview like that.

I was imagining traditional slippers?

@Lemonslice I hope they mean something like your pic, with the toes and heels covered!

Only if they’re bunny slippers, and she is also wearing flannel pajamas and rollers in her hair.

Oh no don’t give them ideas!

[Rocio0010 5,579]

I mean… it’s up to her, but usually when you go to certain important interviews, even though there is not a dress code, you should wear appropriate clothes. To me, slippers are kinda too informal

Dress for success!

Are they made of glass? 

 

If so (and they aren't a weapon), she could be overdressed!

If  she needs to because shoes are, for some reason, uncomfortable or painful, maybe she can find a pair that looks more like regular shoes.

Treat it as if its a job interview for a good paying job not a family cookout.

Can she? Yes

 

Would it make a difference? Who knows, depends on who is conducting the interview I suppose.

 

Should she? Probably not the best idea (In my opinion). I would want to look like I am taking the process seriously. 

 

Good luck on the interview!

if these are the traditional shoes (not slippers like we wear in US for bedtime shoes) then of course/ its what is the norm in our countries 

I wear mine out here in the USA

 

these would be the slipper / shoe we take off to walk on carpets and are normal for Sir Lanka
