For the record, the old address to send non-settlement applications to was:
UK Visas and Immigration
British Consulate General
845 Third Avenue
New York
10022

which is the same address as the New York Premium Centre for the in-person premium service:
VFS Global Services USA Pty Ltd.
845 Third Avenue,
Floor 6,
New York,
NY 10022

and the new address to send ALL applications to is:
VFS Services USA Inc.
UKVI Scanning Hub
750 Third Avenue
Suite 946
New York
NY 10017

So, they're both on the same road, just in different buildings.

ALL applications go to the NYC scanning hub now, whether they are for settlement or non-settlement visas. There is only one address to send them to, regardless of visa type.

They will then get sorted into settlement applications which are scanned to Sheffield, and non-settlement applications which I assume are still processed in the US.

See here:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/usa-apply-for-a-uk-visa/apply-for-a-uk-visa-in-the-usa#mail-your-application
Okay I didn't realize all application went to the same hub.

But that were I got the 'priority service' from or on the instructions page.

Yeah I figured it was close. A member in another group package got delivered to the consulate. He has not yet been able to locate his package, and nobody s trying to find it.

Shipping label.
I saw this on another post earlier and just noticed it again.
The Biometric Appointment Confirmation page shows the address to send documents to and the Suite number shown is Suite 946 , but on the actual shipping label it shows Suite 964 ... will this cause any issues?

Here is an odd question...
When time comes to book my flight... Is it ok to purchase round trip, since it is normally cheaper?  ;)

My DH said they have had a lot of internet problems the last week or so, Sheffield isn’t too far away so maybe that’s affecting their scanning
