Document carry bag type inside the US Consulate ?

[abhishekkumar1902]

Though the instructions says to carry a transparent carry bag for all the documents in the US Consulate when going for VISA interview, I just wanted to ask if I can carry a Gray/Black colored 7 pocket file folder similar to as shown in the following link:

I'm guessing if the instructions say clear bag, then you should comply, they are not joking, they are very strict and you don't want to mess anyhing up.

From what I’ve seen, most U.S. consulates are pretty strict about their guidelines, so if they specifically mention a transparent bag, it’s best to stick with that to avoid any issues at security. Some locations might allow a file folder like the one you're describing, but it really depends on the specific consulate. If you want to be safe, you could call or check their website for clarification.

It's best to follow the consulate's instructions exactly and carry a transparent bag as specified. Some locations may allow a gray/black file folder, but to avoid any issues or delays, it's safer to stick with a clear plastic folder or bag.
