What should I wear to the U.S. Embassy?

The US Embassy doesn’t impose any dress code on US visa applicants but that doesn’t mean you can go to your interview wearing anything you like. Just treat it as your usual job interview. No need to wear suits or formal attire but don’t go there with a simple T-shirt and shorts either. Smart casual is enough.
