I have been remiss in my blogging duties the past few days...apologies. I was finally able to complete the final part of the visa process, a biometrics appointment with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), this past Monday. I have mailed my completed application and passport to the British Consulate in New York...now I must play the waiting game.
This is the second time that I have gone through the UK Visa process and I must say that that the current process is considerably streamlined compared to the Visa process I went through 2 years ago. The CAS document (required for all student Visas), in particular, was an excellent innovation that standardizes and reduces the volume of supporting documentation. Biometrics are still the same, DHS collects digital fingerprints and photographs and then share it with UK immigrationn officials for all Visa applicants of any nationality entering the UK via the U.S.
I am should arrive in Edinburgh in early September...
