I am planning to travel to India via UK. My H1B stamp expired sometime back and I have my H1B extension papers. I am planning to get my H1B visa stamp during my trip to India.
Since I am travelling through UK without a valid H1B stamp, I decided to look up the requirements to get UK transit visa at http://www.britainusa.com/visas/articles_show_nt1.asp?a=41200#VIT
I found the following section in the site where is asks for "evidence of permission to re-enter if you are returning to the US". Since I am not going to get my passport stamped with H1B till I arrive at India, does this mean I cant apply for UK transit visa (also meaning I cant travel through UK at all)?
"4) Evidence of your Immigration Status in the USA and permission to re-enter if you are returning to the US. Please submit original documents. Examples include:-
-Pemanent Resident Card
-Valid US visa (e.g, H1B, F1)
-Advance Parole Document
-Employment Authorisation Card (does not permit re-entry to US)
-Valid DS 2019 (Formerly IAP66)
-Valid I-20 (must be signed on the reverse by designated school official)
-Valid I-94"
