Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

Hi, My American fiancée has a fiancée visa for the UK as above but I was wondering if she could visit the US for a short trip (e.g. 4-5 days) and return to the US. Then return a few weeks later for the wedding? I think the visa is a multi-entry visa but I just want to be sure. Funnily enough, the la...

Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

Hi, There seemed to be a delay from documents getting from NYC scanning hub to Sheffield. The timelines I’ve seen usually have one week from arrival to ECO assessing case. We had over four weeks. Yes. We applied with priority service. Application online 21st September Biometrics 25th September Decis...

Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

Sorry, I know three posts in a row is confusing and spammy, but I think I found the answer. I paid for the VFS courier service at $70, and the shipping label now goes to: VFS SERVICES USA INC. UKVI SCANNING HUB 750 3RD AVENUE, SUITE 964 NEW YORK, NY 10017 Last time I bought courier service from VFS...

Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

My fiancé and my son just had their biometric done in New York about 30 minutes ago. The workers confirmed to her all supporting documents must be send to New York and not Sheffield. Hi Razak, just wanted to confirm if you/partner ended up sendingg the documents to NYC? Did you have any issues? Tha...

Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

So an update and a new question... The Naperville (Illinois, USA) Application Support Centre had leaflets from UK Gov saying that all supporting documents and application had to be sent to NYC as of 10th September. Also a couple of other points, the leaflet says: - They only accept UPS return labels...

Re: Visa4UK Online application guidance

Can anyone confirm where this guidance is taken from.. I want to change planned arrival date to earlier and correct an address on the form, by hand. Mentions here that it’s not a problem but I can’t find the site where this information is taken from. The current visa4uk doesn’t have this in their FA...

Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

The information is published on the government site in my original post. The link states where to send the application and passport, gives NYC address and the link was updated on 10th September. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/usa-apply-for-a-uk-visa/apply-for-a-uk-visa-in-the-usa We're ...

Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

Just to update this: I spoke to the UKVA over the phone just to get 100% confirmation. The person I spoke to was very sure that all visas including settlements visas from the US are now to go to NYC. He said they had just been briefed on it a few days ago and the website had been updated accordingl...

Re: Fiancé Visa - From USA

Thank you all for responding. I thought the NYC address might be for other visas as everyone mentioned Sheffield on every forum, not one person mentioned NYC. I will post all the supporting documents to her and do it that way. Also, I don’t think we’ll be using a lawyer for the FLR visa, realised we...

Fiancé Visa - From USA

Hi all, I’ve been lurking on here for a while.. but first time poster. I’d appreciate it if someone can answer the following questions, as I’m losing faith in my immigration lawyer. I feel like these kind of forums have helped us more than my lawyer. I’m a British citizen, my fiancé is from the US a...
