kaushik1919 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Has anyone travelled to India for H1B stamping through London ? I am hearing that we need to have transit visa if we are traveling through London. Though my status change from F1 to H1B from Oct 1st, the F1 visa stamped on my passport will be valid till 2015. Do we still need to get the transit visa? Has anyone been under same situation before? Though there are similar posts in this forum, none of them give solid answer. Thanks! Link to comment
