If I am a USA resident and want to apply for any xyz UK Visa then i need to follow the below mentioned Steps. Me & My Spouse has applied for a Visit visa of UK for 6 months for visiting our sister. (We have selected the Tourism option for desired documents) 1. First We need to Apply online on Official UK Embassy website in US http://www.britainusa.com/ 2. After filling online form and paying the Visa fees we have got option for an appointment for biometric test. There are numerous offices in USA that performs biometric test however at the end of application it provided us the nearest offices we can visit and leaves the option on us which office we select. 3. After selecting the place where we will perform biometric test the website gave us the option to select the date from the calender and also informed us about the available time slots. We selected the date and time of our own choice. 4. We need to bring our appointment letter printout on USCIS Application support center. (Bring the payment receipt as well however they did not checked it for us) 5. The staff at USCIS office handled us politely and they took all of our 10 finger prints + photograph and Thats it. They had already stamped the appointment letter on reception and has not provided any other document. 6. Next step would be to provide all important documents mentioned on the website http://www.britainusa.com/. We have applied for UK visit Visa and forwarded all possible documents we could send that included the Below mentioned documents Including a cover letter mentioning that why and when we are intended to visit UK. 1. Online filled applications (With Attached Photograph) 7. We have sent the online application along with all documents to the office that fall in our region (New york office) as mentioned on website, we have checked through courier Tracking whether our documents has safely reached or not. 8. When the documents reached UK Embassy they sent us an E-mail mentioning that they have received our application and that the will require 5 business days to process Visa. If our documents are complete and there is no ambiguity in our case then they will process Visa in desired time. (In Our case Visa was issued in mentioned time. Documents were reached UK embassy on Monday Morning, they have started processing it and mailed us on Tuesday and on Thursday they have informed us through email that our Visa is processed and we will receive our documents after 1 business day) 9. We have received our documents within a Week. All we need to have is the genuine & complete documents, try to send as many supporting documents as you can as there is no way to contact the UK embassy for confirmation of processed application before 5 business days has passed. 10. After your application reached the UK embassy do not Try to contact them on any number before the processing date for documents has over as they do not let the date get over. If there will be any ambiguity they will mail you withing that time however the whole visa process will be delayed. IF you are reading this and intended to apply for UK visa then “BEST OF LUCK”Comments13 Responses to “Applying for UK Visa in USA” Leave a Reply |
Your narration of UK visa application procedure is very helpful. I am planning to apply for one in near future, and it will really help me a lot.
Thanks
In new york, They have only all appointments after 1 month. Can you Imagine? For tourist visa someone has to wait so long. C’mon I am not applying for work visa or resident visa. I’ll better go for Schigen visa so atleast I can visit 25 EU nation with half of the visa fees.
Don’t tell me they are taking so long… is is the appointment for Biometric test? I was lucky to have date for Biometric Test within a week.
