H1-B Stamping: Mexico

[immihelp]

Hi

I find your website very useful and often have used in the past for various reasons. The question which I have now is liltte tricky for me to solve. I am planning to go to Mexico for H1-B stamping for the first time. Now, if I get rejected I will not be allowed back into the country which will force me to travel from Mexico to India(home country). In this case, will I be able to take a flight/airline which passes through the US or UK. Will I need a transit visa(I have heard various new reules if transit visa even if I am on the same airport, but very confusing). I am not sure if this option will work for me. Or I have to go to India for stamping as it is my first H1-B stamping.

Note: I was on F1 visa 2 years back and got converted to H1-B, after which I have not gone outside the country and received visa stamping. Please advise me. Any help will be greatly apprciated


Thanks,

As you long as you were never out of status in US, you can go to Mexico. https://www.immihelp.com/usa-visas/visastampingcanadamexico/

If you are rejected, you can't go to India through US.

Thanks,

How about UK. I have heard there are now new rules which require one to have a transit visa even if you are just inside the airport for a few hours. Does that mean I have to travel only via Asia?

Please advise..This is very urgent

If you don't have a valid visa to enter US, you need UK transit visa.
