There are many steps to obtaining a UK visa to remain there longer than the standard 6 months. One step was to visit an American immigration office for an interview, fingerprinting, and to have a photo taken. Here is a bit about our experience. P.S. I still have no idea if this situation was due to Covid-19 or security protocols or both.

I understand that they (UK) wants to limit liability, but I think the process is too complicated and the website is not user friendly.

Agreed. It seems straightforward at first, and then. . . My advice to Americans is to make sure your stay is less than 6 months. Then, you don’t need anything but a passport. It’s so much easier!
