Hi all,

You won't have seen me on here before, myself and my fiancee have gone through the process staying away from these boards as i tend to find a lot of the details alarming and gave me a tendancy to freak out incase i forgot something in the initial process .

Anyway, everything has come and gone now - and next Tuesday is my interview, i'm prepared (i think) my only question is:

What should i wear? I've been for a "normal" visa interview before, but ended up feeling like i was waiting for cheese in a supermarket (you know what i'm talking about i would imagine, ticket, big waiting room, interview that lasts 3 seconds) and that time i went very dressed up and felt incredibley out of place.

From anyone who's had experience - this time should i dress up? smart shirt/trousers bla bla or seeing as i have the medical too - go for something more casual? i really have no clue on this and didnt just want to take a guess.

Thanks all, and hey everyone - again

Don't sweat it. Dress nicely, neatly, cleanly, and of course appropriately
for a government office building. That typically means, no flip-flops,
bare midriffs, shorts etc., but almost everything else is fair game. Jeans
would probably be OK, as long as they are neat. Anything up from that
level would also be OK.

This interview will probably be more involved than the previous one; I
would expect to spend at least ten or twenty minutes one-on-one with the
interviewer. He may ask you about your relationship, and generally try and
confirm that you are a genuine couple. Don't sweat it. I hear that most
couples who go through this have no problem at all; USCIS seems to be
pretty good at making the interview easy to pass for genuine cases and
difficult for marriage fraud cases.
