Transit Visa

I have my GC stamped on my passport and waiting for the physical GreenCard. I am travelling to India next month through Frankfurt. When i contacted the german consulate, i was informed that i need to take a transit Visa.

Is transit visa required while travelling thru Paris. My case is of visa extension, which is not stamped in the passport.

Thanks

1. You are US Citizen
2. You are Green Card Holder
3. You have been issued a H1 for more than 3 years (or H1 issued in the year 2001 or before) with multiple entry.

In all other cases, for US residents of Indian Nationality require a Transit Visa.

This is the information I got after speaking to German Consulate at SFO.

I need to take one coz my H1 Visa issue date is 11 Feb 2003.

Hi I have a F1 visa that expires in Aug 2006 but I have changed my status to a H1B status. I am travelling to india via Luftansa. Do I need a transit visa.
Thanks

I am an Indian student on my way to Trinidad for my education. I would like to know whether I need a Transit visa at the U.S Airport where I will have to change planes. Please give me the required information at the earliest.

Hi
 I am on H1-B with I-94 extended. I am going to India for Stamping
 Do I need to get transit visa if I am travelling through SG or Frankfurt.

Guys,
      I am not really sure. I sent an email to the German consulate in the US(Transit Visa). They said I needed a Visa. My guess is they are not clear as to the combinations of H1, EAD, AP. Please see Below email I sent and reply I received

  Dear Sir,
              I am an Indian Citizen. I work in the United States for a Company for whom I have a EAD (Employment Authorization Document US)
and Advance Parole (that allows me to travel outside the US) . I dont have a US visa on my passport, but the above documents make me eligible to work in the US.
 
I will be making a trip to India from US and will be flying by Lufthansa.
There will be a transit time of 30-45 minutes in Frankfurt airport in Germany.
 
Please suggest if I need to get a Transit Visa for this period in Germany in the airport(30-45 minutes).
 
Please feel free to email me or contact me.
 
Thanks,
 
Appreciate you support
 
Sincerely,

I am traveling to India from US via Frankfurt (Lufthansa). I have my H1 visa renewed (next 3 years). I need to get it stamped in my passport in India. I have all the supporting documentation (I-797 etc). Do I still need a transit visa during my stopover at Frankfurt on my way to India?

You NEED a transit visa if you are on h1 or h4 visa and visa stamping on the passport is expired.If stamping is valid, u dont need otherwise please go to German embassy with your h1b approval paper to get the transit. google german embassy site to check all required docs

I travelled and returned to US Feb 16th via Frankfurt in Lufthansa on an expired visa and advance parole. I did not take transit visa and u don't need one. U just need to show ur advance parole document and there is no problem. So please don't take a transit visa.
