UK Visa Courier Address

I am applying for a tourist visa for UK from New York. I have completed my application and now need to purchase the round-trip courier service. The instructions on the website say to use VFS. But the VFS site is broken and I am not able to use it.

There are a few questions on this forum which say that I should be able to purchase it directly from UPS/USPS etc. If I want to do this, what address should I provide? Is this address listed on the UK immigration website anywhere?

Thanks.

Best Answer

The address for submitting your visa application is listed in the UK Government's web site for how to apply for a UK visa from the USA.

This address changes over time. At the time of writing, it was:

VFS Services USA Inc.
UKVI Scanning Hub
80 Broad Street
Floor 6
New York, 10004

And yes, you currently can and should purchase your own shipping labels. You can go to a UPS Store or buy them online from UPS if you have a label printer. Keep in mind that you can only use air services (2nd day or next day air) for the return service back to your address.
