Rick Leake

Rick Leake writes the visa and consular guides at Embassy Tracker. He works from published embassy sources, official visa portals and the government fee schedules, and rewrites each guide when the rules or the fees change. He covers the application process itself: which office handles your file, what the paperwork actually asks for, and where applications tend to come apart.

Corrections are welcome and get read. If a fee has changed or an application centre has moved, send it in and the guide gets updated with a new date on it.
