Not sure if this is the right area so feel free to move this to the proper location, but I have a tricky question and didn't know where to post this.

So here it goes.....

My wife is a Peruvian citizen with her permanent immigrant status 2yr green card. My wife's sister is an English citizen and lives in Manchester England after marrying an English man years ago. We would like to go visit them in England at some point. Now the question is, can my wife travel to the UK without a UK visa, because she doesn't have a US passport yet, but she does have a green card, or does she have to apply for a UK visa just like she would if she was still living in Peru? I also have questions about how she will be able to apply for a visa to the UK if she's not in Peru to do the proper documentation.

Now I realize this is a question for the UK visa department, but unfortunately I'm having trouble finding information online about this, so if there's any of you out there who have been in similar situations or anyone that has had to deal with UK visas and might know where some good info is, it would much appreciated if you could point me in the right direction

Thank you very much

She would have to apply for a UK visa, as visa rules go by citizenship in almost all cases.

I figured that would be the case, but I also have many questions about the process, and where she can go to have biometrics done since she is no longer in Peru, do you or anyone else know of a good website where I can get answers?

Biometrics for what? if she needs a new Peruvian passport because hers expired, check the website of the Peruvian embassy in the USA: http://www.embassyofperu.org/

If you mean for a UK tourist visa, she'd need to contact the UK embassy in the USA, explanation here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/usa-apply-for-a-uk-visa/apply-for-a-uk-visa-in-the-usa

The other question I had that I can't find an answer to is. Do we apply for the visa using her madian name or her married name, I am guessing it should be in her maiden name as that is the name on her passport but I am unsure of this, and can't find the answer on the UK website anywhere
