Transit Visa

Hi,
My father is planning to visit India in December via London. The stop over in London is for about 2 hrs.. He received his Green card in 96 and it was renewed this year. Does he still need a Transit Visa?
I noted in the UK visa website that if you have a valid green card issued after April 21st 98, then you do not need a Transit Visa..

Even though his GC was originally issued in 96, it was renewed in 2006. So does he still need Transit Visa?
Please advise.

Thanks..

I am planning to go to Nogales, Mexico for my H1 stamping. I would apprecite any experiences shared, details about travel, other formalities like a permit required or not, interview process and the stay duration.


Thanks,

Hi,
I went to Nogales a couple of months back to get my H1 stamped. Though very long and tiring, the process was pretty smooth. Points to keep in mind:-
1. Dont take ANYTHING with you that you dont need. Women, leave behind your jwellery and your makeup behind. Because you cannot take anyhting other than your documents insidethe counsulate.
2. Arrive well in time, but dont scramble to get there early. The lines are long and it takes everyone almost the same time to get in and get out.
3. Take ALL possible documentation with you, go through all the forums and make a long list and take everything with ytou. Its not worth the tension in front of the officer if you dont have a document he asks for.
4. But most importantly, dont forget to remain cool. This is important but the more nervous you are the longer the interview might be.

all the best!

I just came to US via Frankfurt from Bombay. A transit visa is not required while on advance parole. The following is the response what my husband got from German Consulate when prior to departure from India

Dear Sir,

Hi,
  I just travelled from sfo to bombay and back in lufthansa airlines via frankfurt on advance parole. My H4 visa had expired. Nobody asked me for transit visa while going to india and when coming back from india, they did ask on what visa i was travelling. I showed them the advance parole and there was no problem. There is no need for transit visa on advance parole.
