frank1538 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 While I have seen applicants go into the interviews with jeans and a t-shirt, ask yourself if this would make a good impression on the visa officer. I agree with Don - a formal business suit is probably too much and jeans and a t-shirt are probably too little. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I agree with Frank who agrees with Don... Link to comment
Guest ShaQuaNew Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) I agree with Frank who agrees with Don... 138430[/snapback]Congrats on your chance to be there. Certainly Lederhousen, capris, flip-flops, whatever it takes, as long as you don't stand out like an Ozzy Osbourne child.... ...but to have your best success, follow with Frank and Don's advice accompanied by David's ditto Edited July 19, 2005 by fitnlivly (see edit history) Link to comment

obxtrainman Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 "First impressions make lasting impressions." I definetly think you should leave the jeans and tee shirt at home for your interview. Dress nice, and think positively. Be confident, but attentive. The same as you would for any formal business transaction. Link to comment

This is a new user to CFL asking a question which some will have concerns about.. they might not understand some joking... and there's no need to give an answer other than helpful on this issue. It was posted in GVD, not in the PC. Link to comment

Any one has idea please help me...... 138389[/snapback]of course formal dress, with some bright colour, not too bright though, like pink ,blue etc. dresses are very very important Link to comment
cosmiclobster Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 If you have an engagement ring, you should wear it proudly (make sure the VO sees it). It will solidify your fiancee's commitment and the VO will probably not be so concerned with his finances. Link to comment
amerchin Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Look your best, if you don't have the outfit then dress neat and clean. Don't buy new clothes to impress if it'll make you feel stiff and uncomfortable. You must look and feel confident. So once again wear clothes that you will be comfortable in and make an impression or wear nothing at all! I was just suffering with this year's hot summer and was just wishing for that mirage. Ignore that last part ......or maybe not. Please don't tell my SO. Been apart too long. Link to comment
tmkeith Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 (edited) I think you'll be fine anywhere in between business professional and business casual. Whatever you are most comfortable in. Also, wear sometihng that makes you feel confident. You might also want to do a search in this category for posts containing "interview", "success", "confidence", "dress" or "attire" to get some real-world responses from those who've gone through it and shared with the board. Also, where do you live? Many of the members in here have spouses/fiancees still in China who've gone through the interview and would share their experiences with you. If in Beijing, please PM me, and I'll put you in contact with my Wei. Just gotta do it quickly. She leaves there on Friday. Best of luck!!!! Trevor 64 hours and 54 minutes to go!!!

warpedbored Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 It is not a big deal. Just dress like the nice woman we are all sure you are. It need not be too formal. You just want to avoid anything that is sexy or too casual. Link to comment
yuehan123 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The only jeans, or shorts, and tee shirts I saw outside on interview day were on the foreigners adopting babies and the petitioners waiting for their SOs. I agree with the 'dress comfortably so you are comfortable' advice. Be prepared with some layers in case the air conditioning is on full blast at any time of day. Link to comment
