Our original post of 30 October 2012:
UKBA reports that their New York UK visa processing hub is temporarily closed due to Hurricane Sandy. UKBA states that it will update its website once the processing hub re-opens. The temporary closure will undoubtedly result in delays for any applications submitted in the United States.
