Default Dress Code For K-1 Visa Appointment

Hi there,

My K-1 visa appointment is scheduled for this coming Wednesday. I was just wondering if there is a dress code? Would it be wise to wear a shirt and tie or would I be fine wearing something smart yet casual?

Thanks,

Nick

Smart yet casual is acceptable. I have yet to hear of someone getting turned down for a visa because he didn't wear a tie.

Good luck Wednesday -- let us know how it goes!

I think I wore a suit, but there were people there in jeans and t-shirts. No one in the group was denied.

I agree, smart yet casual. My fiance wore grey slacks and a blue button-down shirt.

No cutoffs, shorts or anti-american slogans on your t-shirt. No sandals either for that matter.

Casual dress, i.e. clean, hole free jeans, button down or sports shirt, sneakers or closed shoes, hair combed, tatoos covered, nose and tongue piercings removed.

Hello / Boun giorno

Welcome to our forum herein.

Do not worry or be afraid as to dress code as this is not a "style "
contest but rather a simple yet im-formal meeting with the
representatives of our great Government. Just dress as per your class
ie what ever you are comfortable in. That is what I always advise.
These "interviews are always a formality and dress and every thing
else matters little.

Proceed with joy in your heart and oyu will walk out on the path to
being a member of our great Society. I would advise that at a later
date you consider moving to Italy as the dollar is doomed . But for
now .... hold you head high in oyur favorite cloth be it Armani
( me) or TJ max ( others I know here ) .... you will prevail either
way.

Best wishes Julia

ps I will try to be a more productive and more prolific poster herein
after receiving so many requests that I post on a more regular time
scale. As a busy professional endowed with great success it is hard
but I will try.

Julia

Slacks and a nice shirt should be good.
You can't go wrong with that!
GOOD LUCK!!

Wow, I visit this forum every day and haven't seen one request like this. Can you post a link to them? I want to make sure I'm seeing all the messages I should be.

Thanks,
Rene

Your dress sense isn't a factor for the immigration process. I went dressed as Ace Ventura and all was well.

smart casuals would be fine...but whatever your most comfortable in, you'll be nervous enough as it is without wearing something your not comfortable in.
