Going to my home country to get my h1b visa stamp and flight I got has a layover in the UK. Do I need to get a transit visa ?

For UK, nope. You don't need a transit visa for an intraday layover. Even if it's overnight, they'll ask you to leave the airport, but grant you a 2-3 day visa for you to catch your connecting.

Correct. If you have Canadian PR , then you don’t need transit visa. Or if your passport is eligible for their visa waiver program, you then don’t need transit visa as well.

Do you have an active US visa?

Perhaps you need a transit visa.

What city?

I had a layover in Manchester a few years ago. Because of my passport, they required me to have a valid UK transit visa.

Depending on your passport type you might need a transit visa. I needed one last fall and didn’t realize so they wouldn’t let me fly. I had to spend an extra thousand dollars to get a flight to go from the states directly to my home country.

It's been almost 4 days since I had that interview; however, no feedback has been shared with me.

I can see that my profile/application is under review for basic requirements.

Should I consider my profile as reject?

Any thoughts/guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you
