Transit via London Heathrow   Santhosh   06/09/2018 08:54 PM  

My visa got expired last month and i got extension for 1 year, i have approved I-797A. Now i am going to india and have to get stamping, but my question is if i book flight ticket via London Heathrow, Is there any issue for transit as we don't have valid visa in passport?

definately they will not alllow you..I have been in that situation last year and they want a valid visa on passport else you can't go through london..

Book flights like kuwait or something else like direct but i am 100% sure they london you won't be allowed at all.

Call me 860-288-8358

How would US visa affect london transit? As long as you don't exit UK airport and just change terminals within Heathrow how would it affect?

I agree, if you are going to India - not having US visa stamping should not be an issue - yes if it was other way round (coming from India - transiting to US) then it would be an issue. Don't listen to the stupid person who is 100% sure but 100% wrong. To be safe check with UK immigraton website or better still call.

No they won't let you if u don't have a stamped visa on passport even though you have a valid US Visa..It happened to me when I tried to go India through British airways..we went to catch our flight from Boston n here British airways crew said they won't accept i797 as they are facing a problem with fake i797s. We need to come back home without taking the flight..try etihad n there won't be any issues with it

Okay i confirmed with UK Consulate by email. It looks like we need to have Direct airside transit visa, if our US visa is expired.

So i have booked ticket via Dubai.
