Thomas. You had Margaret's solution at the foot of this reply of yours. Try her suggestion. In your case I'd suggest googling to discover the postcode in London of the US Embassy, and then use that postcode in your petition details. I followed Margaret's advice to use the Oz High Commission's postcode in London, and it was accepted. Yay! Good onya Margaret! rofl. (Oh, and in case you might wonder why we use a High Commission instead of an Embassy: it is because member countries of the British Commonwealth of Nations -- or whatever its more modern updated name might be -- have a High Commission in each others' country instead of an Embassy. There is probably a lot more to it than that, but that is the extent of my limited knowledge. haha.)
