  • Do I need to get Transit Visa?

    Hi,
    Currently I have an expired H4 Visa stamped on my passport, but have a valid I-797 and going to India for my H1B stamping.

    I am traveling from US to India with a layover at London - Hethrow (British Airways) for about 3 hours. I will be changing my flights at the same terminal in London.

    Do i need any transit visa?

    Any kind of help is appriciated.

    Thanks,
    mvallabh

    Yes, since your US Visa has expired, you will need UK DATV.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.

      DATV UK B1/H4 and H1

      I was having a lot of trouble finding someone who did this. I had "experts" tell me its ok and some telling me its not ok. If you donot have a valid US visa you will be denied boarding.

      From personal experience having traveled on British airways, you DONOT need a DATV if you have any valid US visa stamped in your passport. My wife had a valid B1 and expired H1. They looked at the valid B1 and let her board. Just make sure you put your boarding pass in the page having the valid visa.

      They don't know the difference between status and visa. You can have multiple valid visa's but only one status in the US. Your B1 is not cancelled if you get a H1.
