US vs UK Visa from India: Which Is Harder, Which Has Better Value

Both are complex. Both are expensive. But they serve different purposes.

Process: US requires in-person interview (2-3 min). UK is document-based only (no interview). UK is simpler procedurally.

Cost: US ₹41,760 (10-year validity). UK ₹14,030 (6-month), ₹52,000 (2-year). Value: US wins on per-year cost.

Wait time: US 4.5-11 months for interview. UK 3-6 weeks. UK is dramatically faster.

Bonus countries: US unlocks 12+. UK unlocks 7+. Both unlock UAE VOA, Turkey e-visa, Georgia. US has more bonus.

Recommendation: need to travel soon → UK first. Building long-term portfolio → US first. Have time for both → apply simultaneously. House of Visas handles both.
