I am traveling to India and I have a stopover of around 4 hours at the Heathrow airport. I am not changing the terminal nor the airport during the transit. I have a valid H1B visa but it is not stamped yet. As per the UK visa and immegration website, I do not require a transit visa if I have a valid visa for US if I am traveling FROM USA.

Do I require to get a transit visa in this case?

Has anyone travelled to India via London, with valid H1B not stamped? If so then did you require to get a transit (DirectAirsideTransit) visa before you board the plane at USA?

Please reply. Thanks.
