• Answer:

  It takes aaaagggggeeeeesssss - loads of waiting around. You join a queue outside firstly, then through security - then finally in. Make sure you take all the relevant paperwork. Sit around for ages waiting for your number to be called, go get interviewed and fingerprinted and photographed. Wait loads more for another call for your number - then you either get your visa or not. They will tell you then and there. If you get it, they keep your passport to stamp - it will be returned to you in about 5 days by courier. And check how to pay for this - I vaguely recall they took debit cards and cash, but not certain credit cards. Good luck - plan on being there for the best part of a day!!
