One of London’s most fashionable streets is this pedestrian-only street in Westminster that in the swinging '60s was synonymous with style. Carnaby Street is still a mecca for the fashion-conscious and teeming with trendy clothing boutiques. It is also frequently used in movies and music videos, most notably U2’s "Even Better that the Real Thing."
I applied for my China visa through this service, and everything was super smooth. They helped with the forms, explained all the steps, and the fingerprint appointment in New York was easy to schedule. Highly recommend!
