UK visitor visa from USA - courier service link requires selection of bronze, gold, etc
I applied online for UK short term tourist visa . I paid. Scheduled biometrics. Just finished biometrics. Now trying to purchase courier service so I can mail the documents to New York. But when I use the courier link, enter reference number and relevant information, it won’t let me proceed without selecting one of their priority processing options (bronze, silver, gold etc) and I’m not interested in those because they are way too expensive for me. What am I doing wrong? How can I skip that and just pay for a return shipping label to include with my documents.
So lost! Please help!
Best Answer
You aren't required to use any of those services. You can mail your application package yourself. In that case you must purchase your own return shipping label and include it with the package.
