I am a Chinese citizen with US permanent residency, am trying to apply a
visa to enter UK to give a talk in a conference. How long will be the
application process? I am in the San Francisco area. Can I apply the visa
through a British Consulate in San Francisco or I have to use services such
as WorldBridge or UK border agency? What documents do I need? The UK
immigration office web site only suggests services such as above. Do I need
any biometrics? It seems that the process is very complicated.

心情不好~ 来美国4年多了,曾经有一段时间很开心,一度以为一开始来美国的那种
孤独、不踏实已经远离我了;而最近一年才发现,这些不好的感觉,并没有消失过,而
是随着压力的越来越大,感觉的越来越明显了~~
我依然是那个孤独而渺小的我~ 像一片孤舟在汪洋大海里前行~ 不知道哪里才是我
的小岛~

Should I apply the UK visa through an agent? I checked Peninsula Visa, and
they are asking for $350 extra. Quite expensive. How long would it take if I
mail it to LA consulate by myself? Do I need to get biometrics done before
mailing my documents to LA consulate?

The average for a very good PI at an university is around 500K-1 million
I think. 2 million is pretty good. 2 million is equal to roughly 1
million US dollars because labor is very cheap.
The amount you can get from a 973 for your own lab is on the level of
300K-1mil per year and you are limit to heading one and participating in
one 973 per investigator.
The 973 grants look huge but they are normally divided among 8-30 labs.
Chinese like to make them look huge by lumping them all together.

The military does have a lot of money. This I know.
But most of the big money are not for basic research projects but more big
engineering type projects. I think you can really get a lot of money
through those.
Also, you can apply for many small fundings. Those are not well regulated
so depends mostly on guanxi.
