Visa question - Indian Student in US, Want to visit London on the way to India?
Hi, I am a student at the USA On a F1 visa. I am planning to visit London on my way home (Chennai) on my way home and wanted to know the visa procedure. 1. What visa should I take for a 3 day visit - Transit or visitor? 2. Can I mail my passport to the UK consulate in US to procure the visa? Or should I attend an appointment with the consulate? Thanks in advance

1. You need to apply for a general visitor visa (tourist). 2. In order to do so you need to fill the application and pay the visa fee online. http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/Welcome.htm .. When doing this you will get an appointment at one of the 129 USCIS Application Support Centers where your biometric data and fingerprints will be taken. After that you will need to mail your visa application package, together with the biometric enrollment certificate and your passport to one of the three UK Border Agency visa processing centers in the United Kingdom which are co-located with the UK consulates at Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. If your application is straightforward you will get your passport with the visa back by mail; if it is questionable you may be invited for a personal interview. http://ukinusa.fco.gov.uk/en/visas/ ..
