SreeExpat said:You don't require a Transit Visa as long as the VISA has not expired and the VISA expiration date covers the duration of your travel.
An excerpt from the BritainUSA.com
"Exemptions: You are exempt from this requirement if:
You hold a valid US/Canadian visa (example) and also hold a ticket to or from the US/Canada routed via the UK. This will include a period of 48 hours after the expiry of the US/Canadian visa for those leaving the US or Canada to allow for those who choose to leave at the very end of the validity of their visa.
