متى تبدأ الإجراءات
ابدأ الإجراءات قبل 30 يومًا – 2 أشهر من تاريخ سفرك.
Check your purpose (tourism, business, short study) is a permitted Standard Visitor activity.
Get your passport, proof of US status, travel/accommodation details, evidence of funds.
Complete the application on gov.uk and pay the £135 fee for a 6-month visa.
As a US resident, apply at your nearest UK Visa Application Centre — there are 30+ across the US. Check its exact location and opening hours on the official directory.
As part of the online application, book your biometrics appointment at your US centre.
If you want a faster decision, buy Priority or Super Priority online via UKVI — not at the centre.
Prove your identity and give your fingerprints and a photo (biometrics) — you upload your supporting documents online beforehand. You’ll get your passport or travel document back on the same day; the centre may keep some other documents while it processes your application.
After booking, upload your supporting documents to the VFS Global website before your appointment — you can submit them online for free.
A standard application is usually decided within about three weeks.

Use the official VFS US centre directory (linked below) to find and book the one nearest you.
الحصول على موعد — احجز مبكرًا · وفق إفادات المستخدمين، تم التحقق في 2026-06-13
- تُطرح المواعيد على دفعات دون جدول معلن ثابت — غالبًا في الصباح الباكر بالتوقيت المحلي، وصباح الإثنين، وحول اليوم الأول من الشهر.
- في القنصليات المزدحمة (مثل فرنسا وإيطاليا وإسبانيا في المدن الكبرى) قد تُحجز الدفعة خلال دقائق — سجّل وادخل إلى حسابك قبل البحث.
- تتوفّر مواعيد طوال اليوم بسبب الإلغاءات، لذا تحقّق يوميًا حتى لو ظهر «لا توجد مواعيد».
- لذلك قدّم في أقرب وقت مسموح — حتى ستة أشهر قبل السفر. الانتظار حتى شهر أو شهرين غالبًا يعني عدم توفّر أي موعد.
معلومات مفيدة
- Apply from where you lawfully live: as a Chinese national in the US, you apply through the US visa application centre — not China — and you provide US-based evidence (US status, US address, US bank statements).
- Priority / Super Priority must be bought online via UKVI — you cannot pay for it at the centre.
- Families apply separately: each person must have their own application, pay the fee, and attend their own appointment.
