There seem to be more sites than I have tarantulas in the house!!! Here is a bit off another one - seems you need a credit card now too
Visas
New arrangements for UK visa applications
From 11 January 2008, all United Kingdom applications will be processed by the British Consulate in New York under our new "Hub and Spoke" arrangement.
Applicants for UK visas must submit their applications on-line via the Visa4UK online facility. Applying on-line is the only way to apply for a UK visa. When applying on-line, you will also have to pay the fee by credit card and book an appointment to come to the Embassy to submit your papers and have your finger scans taken
There will be no changes to the way applications for Commonwealth or United Kingdom Overseas Territories are processed
For full details on application procedures, whether a Dominican or Haitian applying for a UK visa or a visa for a Commonwealth country or a UK Overseas Territory, please visit the World Bridge website at https://www.visainfoservices.com/. World Bridge offer Visa Information Services and are a division of Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC), a leading global information technology (IT) services company.

I can already feel the stress coming on when applying for the next visa for my other half!!
