I am planning to visit UK on my way back to India. I have got the biometrics finger prints taken and sent the papers to UK consulate at Chicago for 6 months visitor visa. My question is how much time does it take to process? any experience? I need to book my tickets based on this info.

thanks in advance

We got ours from the British Consulate in LA in about a weeks time.

We were in a bit of a rush as well and had to call the customer care/help desk (A service charge was levied, btw).

I got mine from LA Consulate too. It took only 2 days. The first day, i filed the application online. I was given an interview date the next day. Went there, showed my originals (don't remember if i was fingerprinted or not) and got the visa in the evening.

Wow.... I never thought it would be this fast. I sent my papers to UK Chicago consulate on Friday evening, got an email confirmation of receipt on Monday, and Tuesday I got email confirmation of visa approval. This is really fast.. I like it... and I want more of it at Chennai.
