IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? The United Kingdom will launch its 24-hour “Super Priority” visa service for U.S. applicants March 9.
What does the change mean? Eligible applicants may apply for certain visas at the British Consulate in New York and obtain a decision within 24 hours.
Background: The Super Priority visa service is already available to applicants in China and India, and the U.K. plans to extend it to other countries in the coming months.
BAL Analysis: Visa applicants interested in the Super Priority service should contact their BAL representative to confirm eligibility. Please note that paying for this service does not guarantee that any visa application will be approved. This expedited service also allows applicants to designate a representative to collect their passport, but the applicant must make the designation in writing at the time of application submission.
