UKBA has no contact phone number of which I am aware. All they provide you with is a useless e-mail which nobody answers. I can attempt to call the British Embassy in the US, but they don't provide visa services to US Citizens. I think the most I can do with them is lodge a complaint that Visa4UK is a horrible service.

Hi,

I've posted on here before about my problems with Visa4UK, but I'm just wondering if there is anyone else out there right now who is trying to use Visa4UK to apply for a UK visa? I've been attempting to apply for a visa on the website since Jan 30th, 2014 but I get an error message when I click the black box to book an appointment for my biometrics. I can't get any farther than signing my declaration. Fortunately I haven't gotten stuck on a pay page.

Anyway, let me know if you're having issues--or not. That's important too!

Thanks guys.

Don't think so. A US government office can't help you with a UK government website. You have no application in to USCIS which is what INFOPASS is for. Shouldn't you be calling the UK for answers? Or your closest British embassy in the States?

USCIS processes biometrics for UKBA. So showing up for Infopass is not a bad idea. I would search over at Yankee about this issue. There are loads of threads about it. The OP only has 14 days from the electronic date of her application to get her application posted to Sheffield. Time really is of the essence for her.

Our journey together on this earth has come to an end.

I will see you one day again, my love.
