[spoiltgame]

I have booked the ticket from Charlotte to Mumbai via Lufthansa, which has a layover at Munich. But my L1b VISA is expired and extension of visa is in process. 

 

Is it possible for me to travel with Lufthansa via Munich with the extension documents?

I have booked the ticket from Charlotte to Mumbai via Lufthansa, which has a stopover at Munich for 3hr. But my L1b VISA is expired and extension of visa is in process. 

 

Is it possible for me to travel with Lufthansa via Munich with the extension documents?

 

I have a stopover at Munich for 3 hr... then also I need to have a Transit VISA?

I was in same boat. But travel agent shared their client experiences. 

It is little scare. As per them last month out of 4 folks family 3 allowed ( kids & father) to travel and hold spouse (H4) back and then send on another flight to Mumbai. That took almost 12 hrs investigations.

Therefore, I thought of avoiding hassle by booking tickets from with Lufthansa.

 

Hope all will be ok with you.

 

Good Luck.

You need a transit visa.
