UK visa in NY (Indian Citizen) - Black woman waiting for train on underground platform

I took all the steps as shown in the gov.uk link to Apply for a UK visa in the USA.

  1. Apply online
  2. Paid fees
  3. Go to your appointment
  4. Post your application

For #4 I sent my application to following address via UPS but they returned it and UPS shows "The receiver does not want the product and refused the delivery."

As reported in the comments,

I went to UK consulate. Reception guy asked me all sort of questions (seemingly relevant). He then called the consulate and gave them my details. (Name, DOB, GWF numbers) Consulate guys replied that they returned the package as it was already open... bummer! Now reception guy suggested (or insisted) that I should use UPS store around the corner. So I went there and dispatched the package again to be delivered at 10:30AM tomm.

So in the end, it seems like this was a fluke caused by UPS or someone else opening the package before delivery, causing it to be refused. Everything worked out after re-sending the materials, and the OP received the visa after 4 days.
