I am a UK citizen who is currently living and working in HK until the end of June.

I intend to study in the US on a M1 visa, the course starting in late August.

I'm having trouble knowing where I should apply for my visa. I know in theory I can apply at any US Embassy/Consulate, but the processes seem to be different and i dont want to make things more complicated by trying to do it earlier from HK, but also dont want to not have enough time to do it in the UK!

Does anyone have any experience in this?
Please, any advice or information would be very helpful... (even if its just a number you know goes straight through to someone who will be able to give me a straight answer

: )
