Sorry for others' wrong answers: Since 2003, all US visa applicants all over the world must appear in person at the US embassy or consulate nearest their place of normal residence.

Only if you've left it too late and you need one in the next two weeks! You can get one by post if you do it early enough. Going to the embassy is an absolute nightmare. Avoid it if at all possible.
Ring them up and the automated voice will tell you what to do and how much time you need to apply by post.

Yes, you do. You'll have an interview with somebody there. Best thing is to call them and see what the proceedure is.

Good luck, hope you get the visa xx

Yes.

Though do you really need a visa to accomodate your visit? The US and UK implement a visa-waiver program that typically allows a three month stay without the effort of applying for a visa. (You did say "visit" and not "elope with intent".)

Depending on the nature of your visit to the USA defines whether you need a visa or not, added to that fact is whether your UK passport is valid for the visa waiver programme. If you mean just a tourist visa then (if you qualify for the VWP due to the passport type you currently hold) then you get an automatic visa for the duration of you valid return ticket, subject to a maximum amount of time. If you are talking about working or studying in the USA then that is another matter.

Oh P.S. Visas are also issued in Dublin (cheaper to fly to Dublin than go to London "sometimes") ;-)

While in most cases visas are issued to UK citizens on the stength of the documentary evidence there may be cases where the embssy officials may like to have some further clarifications on some points. In that case they are empowered to seek your attendence and If you fail to attend refuse the visa to you.Apart from the t echnical aspect of the matter this is also the minimum curtsy one can expect from an applicant. It is also in your own interest to visit the embassy,especially when called for Merely running paper horses may sometimes lead to the horses going astray.

Sure you can do it by post, but why not just phone them and find out. I think you can do it through your travel agent as well. My daughter been there many times and didnt go any where for hers think it was provided by travel agent.
