Off to the US, eh? Supermodel Kate Moss is seen clutching a passport and visa application forms as she visits the new American embassy in London
She was discovered by scout as she walked through the bustling terminals of New York City's John F. Kennedy Airport, soon becoming one of the world's top models.
And Kate Moss appears to be in the midst of plans to make a trip back to the shores where it all began, as she was recently spotted visiting the US Embassy in London.
Clutching a passport and a stack of visa application forms, the 44-year-old Croydon-born beauty appeared to be in good spirits as she made her way out of the shiny new headquarters, located in Vauxhall, south London.

Clutch: The 44-year-old was seen clutching a passport and a medical questionnaire
Wearing a black leather jacket over a bronze sweater with skinny jeans and thigh-high boots, the mother-of-one looked typically stylish for her appointment.
She shielded her eyes behind a pair of sunglasses, her collection of forms included a medical questionnaire - which may be required after she was photographed snorting a white powder back in 2005, earning her the nickname 'Cocaine Kate'.
A source told The Sun this week: 'A past episode like this could potentially be an eligibility to getting a visa.'
While she has returned to the US since, most notably for Topshop's grand New York City opening in 2009, it has been rumoured for years that Kate faced an uphill struggle in obtaining another American visa.

Under US rules, suspected drug abusers applying for a visa may be required to answer additional medical history questions and also take a medical exam to prove that they are not still a drug abuser before being allowed to enter the country.
In the immediate aftermath of the incriminating photographs of Kate being published in 2005, the star faced relentless backlash and was dropped by Chanel and High Street giant H&M, on the eve of her serving as the face of the Stella McCartney collection campaign.
A representative for H&M said in a statement at the time: 'We have decided that a campaign using Kate Moss is not in accordance with H&M's stance against drugs.'
However, she managed to hold on to big contracts with Christian Dior and Rimmel and subsequently won back her deal with Chanel.
She also went on to secure deals with Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein and Virgin Mobile as well as Longchamp, Mango and Vogue-Eyewear.
The supermodel model also made £3million designing clothing for Topshop.

In 2010, after Kate's career bounced back, her agent at the time, Sarah Doukas, said of the cocaine scandal: 'All press is good press in this world we live in.'
Following her trip to the US embassy, Kate was spotted enjoying a relaxing weekend trip to the Cotswolds, where she owns a home.
She was accompanied by her hairdresser James Brown and her 15-year-old daughter Lila Grace, from her relationship with Jefferson Hack.
