Suit - Tie - Jacket = business casual. If I were you I'd just show up wearing the suit and lose the jacket and/or tie if they recommend it.

Also, no white shirts or finely-patterned ties, since those can look bad on camera. Come to think of it, take a spare change of clothes just in case.

That's exactly what I'll do. Great plan. They did warn me against white shirts, so I'm on top of that one.

You're better off going with a coat on. You don't need to wear a tie but a coat w/ dress shirt would look better in this type of situation than a shirt & tie with no coat.
