Hey people,
Looking to book a flight from India to EWR for a family member on tourist visa and I’m very unsure about the allowed flights, issues with transit in foreign countries.

Can I book nonstop flights from Delhi through United or American?

If I'm looking at other airlines, which ones are not an issue for Indian passport holders?

Any resources or insight you can share would be truly helpful!

My mum flew Emirates Mumbai through Dubai to JFK in October with no issues.

My uncle and aunt flew United from Mumbai to Ewr 2 days ago. Apart from a delayed bag, they had no other issues.

Thank you so much! That's really helpful!!

Hi All :) I need advise on whether it is possible to get my first time H1B stamped at a US consulate in Canada ? I am required to travel to Canada anyway for my PR stamping and I am trying to figure out if I can get my H1B stamped around the same time while I am in Canada for my PR, since it is extremely difficult to get appointments in India these days? I am currently based in US. Thanks!
