Quick UK Visa question
 

Hello, I am US Perm Resident and I will be visiting UK as a tourist this
summer. Does anybody here know how long it takes the UK embassy to process
the tourist visa (Los Angeles)? One week, two weeks? THANX

What is your nationality? The UK embassy doesn't care about your
status in the US.

I know! I am a citizen of Bangladesh... that is why I am applying for a Visa
but I was wondering how long does it take the consulate in LA to process a
visit visa for us perm residents.

Perhaps pedantic but the consulate does not 'process a visit visa for us perm residents'.

Why not ring them and ask?

That's what I was trying to explain. The UK consulate only cares about
your citizenship/nationality, they could care less that you're a US
resident.

I agree with Boiler, try and give them a call and ask what the normal
processing time is for a visitor's visa to the UK for a Bangladesh
citizen.

Thanks Candy! I am curious do they refuse a lot of candidates? I sent out
all the documents but couldn't really send my bank statement because I do
online banking.... so I just sent them a print out of my bank summary that
shows my balance and my name, etc. I have a stable work history... just
wondering if they will refuse me on the basis of not having a proper
statement. hmmm
