I have a 1 year Indian business visa which expires 3rd December. My international departing flight was at 2am on the 4, but has now been changed by 4 hours to 6am on the 4th meaning I will not be able to check into the flight and pass through immigration early enough to make it before midnight on the 3rd. I would now leave through immigration one day late.  Can I apply for a 1-day extension to allow for this situation without any repercussions for future business visa applications.  PS I am trying to cancel the flight through the airline, but in the meantime want to know my options.

I'm an Egyptian girl from Cairo. I'm planning a six-month trip to India in December for training purposes, but getting a six-month visa is so hard from my country.  If I can only get 3 months instead of 6 months, is it possible to extend the business visa in India?

What generally happens if I am forced to overstay my legal stay in the USA because my flight gets delayed, cancelled, or diverted? Will I be banned from entering the USA? Will I still be able to use the Visa Waiver Program to enter? Some examples:  Amy entered the U.S. on a visitor visa. She was supposed to travel out of the USA on a flight that would leave one day before the date on her I-94. However, that flight was cancelled due to severe weather at her origin airport, and she was rebooked onto another flight that leaves one day after that date.  Beatrice is a Japanese national returning on the 90th day of her Visa Waiver Program, traveling back to Japan on , which diverted to LAX four hours after it departed.  Colleen also entered the U.S. on a visitor visa. She was scheduled to leave on a flight that would depart late at night on the last day of her I-94. However, that flight was delayed by a few minutes / one hour, which pushes the departure time into midnight, which technically means she's overstaying.    Note: Some of the foregoing is already covered in the answer to . However, that post is specific to the Visa Waiver Program, and editing it would change its meaning completely; I'm looking for a general answer for both VWP and those traveling on standard visas. This is also not a duplicate of , as that is specific to H-1B visas and the answer there may not apply to other visa types.

I am traveling from the US to India via London Heathrow on November 6. I will be at LHR on 7th at 6:20 am and departing at 9:25 pm. I'm an Indian national and have a valid US visa.  Do I need a transit visa to stay airside?  I have been scared that British Airways have stopped a few people from boarding flights (no details just rumors).  Do I need a transit visa to stay landside? I want to do some sightseeing. What are the chances of getting past officials using transit without visa concession?  Real stories will help a lot to calm the butterflies in my stomach.

I have a business visa for Australia valid till end of this year(2019) but the passport it is linked to is about to expire. I have applied for a new passport which I will get within the next 14 days. As soon as I get my new passport, I will submit Form 929.    My problem is, I have to travel to Sydney, Australia as early as possible but I am not sure how much time it takes to process Form 929. Some say it takes 3 days, some say more. I need to factor this to book my Flight &amp; Hotel early to save on cost.

I arrived in South Africa from Australia at the end of october, so I have 3 months in the country, but in december I left the country for a month and recently re-entered thinking I would get another 3 months. But they didn't give me the extra 3 months because they said I had to return to South Africa, so they only gave me the stamp for 3 more weeks, counting the 3 months from when I first entered.  Does anyone know if this is a new rule that you have to go back to where you came from? Because I thought I would get another 3 months as that is what happened with most people I know that didn't get a visa, and now it is too late to get a visa or an extension, does anyone know what will happen to me if I don't leave in 3 weeks and keep my original ticket which was 3 months?

Everything I've seen points to no (and I would love that to be true since applying for a visa online costs money) but I'm worried about getting refused due to the length of time I wish to stay, which is 6 months.  I went to university in the UK on a Tier 4 visa, but have never just been a tourist which is what I would like to do now. Since graduating, I have started working but am underwhelmed and would love to travel again. My original plan was Australia but now I would like to see the rest of the UK as well beforehand.  If I arrived with the following, would I be refused entry simply for not applying online?: an approved Australian work &amp; holiday visa, a mini itinerary, bank statements for the last 6 months.

I recently traveled from India to USA. I am on H1B. I entered USA on 29th December 2016. As my Visa extension is due in August 2017, I was gathering documents for Visa Extension. It was required to provide a scanned copy of passport page with all entry and exit stamps.  Myself and my wife both travelled back from India. My wife's passport has a entry stamp with date as 29th December 2016. But the same is missing from my passport. I guess the officer missed putting the entry stamp on my passport. My I 94 reflects the correct date of entry as 29th December. Somehow I still have my boarding pass from this trip (usually I throw them once trip is complete).   Want to know what could be implications of missing entry stamp when I travel to India next time (somewhere towards early next year)? Does this impact my H1B Visa extension ? Also what can I do to correct this information on my passport?

I filled out a form early November to get a Swiss visa (applying in Singapore but not Singaporean) with my travel dates as 19.12.2017 to 02.01.2018. The first available appointment was on the 1st of December and I took it. During the time in between, my travel dates changed to one week later (both arrival and departure). Now, my travel itinerary and supporting documents all have different dates from the dates on the form. What do I do?  I can fill out a new form with the right dates without paying any fees but the online ID on that form will be different.   As mentioned in the comments, I haven't got my visa yet - the interview is tomorrow.

I am a British citizen visiting the USA in early August for a two week vacation with friends. After the holiday I'm returning to my home in the UK for three weeks. After that I will return to the USA and will be working for my British employer under the Visa Waiver Program for a period of 80-85 days.  I have read already that there is technically no problems with this under ESTA rules, but should I limit this working period to a shorter time frame (e.g. 70 or so days) so that it does not negatively affect the decision made by the POE officer? Ideally I would love to be over in the states for the near-full 85 day period.  Any advice or previous experiences anyone can offer?  Some clarifications: As confirmed by the immigration attorney, as I am employed by my UK employer, it will be regarded as a business trip, the important part being that I will be working officially as a consultant for my UK employer just overseas for the allotted 85 or so days

In a couple weeks, I will have a long layover in Cairo on a trip from Mumbai to Toronto. I get to Cairo on Sunday at noon and leave for Toronto on Monday at about 1 AM.  I am travelling on EgyptAir business class. While browsing for people who have experiences with a similar itinerary, some people seemed to have said they they were put up ina  hotel by the airline. However, I did not see anything about this when I booked my ticket.   allows me to enter my status (i.e. citizenship etc.) which results in a .  It doesn't appear like I need a transit visa- however it specifies that:     Leaving the airport is permitted for passengers with transit time   between 6 and 12 hours   My transit time 13.5 hours.  Now for my questions:   Is it an issue that my transit time is longer than 12 hours? Can I still leave the airport? What are my options with regards to airport hotels, etc.? Any other recommendations about how I could best utilize my time while in Cairo?

As a British citizen, I recently applied for an ESTA visa waiver in order for me to travel to and present at an academic conference in the United States. To my surprise, they have added additional criteria based on travel to certain countries in the Middle East since 2011 (this change was apparently made in December 2015). I stated on my application that I had worked as a lecturer at a specific institution in the Kurdish region of Iraq for a three month period. I expected my application to be denied fairly quickly (although I hoped that it wouldn't) but having checked it several times, there has been no change to the "Authorization Pending" status when I check my application on the website. The top of the page (when I check my status) says:     Your travel authorization is under review because an immediate determination could not be made. This response does not indicate negative findings. A determination will be available within 72 hours.   It has now been 18 days since I applied - I understand that they may want to check my details more thoroughly and am more than happy for them to - but through various searches on google, I have been unable to find anyone else who had waited so long for a response!  Is it possible for the applications to get stuck in the system? Or is it far more that they're spending this time trying to determine whether I am a security threat? I've heard of people putting in a second application when the first takes a long time - would this be advisable?  Thanks for your time!  EDIT - Adding this from an answer posted by the OP  My status has officially changed today (20 days after application) and I have been declined the Visa Waiver.  Since the conference is in a month's time, I can still apply for a B-1 Visa but probably won't. Looking at the visa application website, it may be the case that I'll be asked to report my travel history over the past five years and although it's relatively uninteresting, I really do not have the time to put together all the documentation they might ask for, nor can I really be bothered to go through the rigmarole of an interview in London.

For a particular hotel I booked Expedia's Check-in policies section states the following:  Check-in time starts at 4 PM If a late check-in is planned, contact this property directly for their late check-in policy.  My question is...  what constitutes a late check-in? My flight is scheduled to arrive at the airport at 8:34pm.

My daughter wanted to travel to UK on tourist visa as her student visa expired. She wanted to go there to meet her sister working there on tier 2 (general visa). She by mistake showed my bank statement instead of her own as she had her current account in Lloyd bank in the UK. Visa was denied to her on the ground that in India she did not show any evidence that she is able to maintain herself – No evidence to show that she will leave england at the end of visit.   Is it ok to buy ticket before getting visa? How long should she wait before reapplying for visa?

Is 1h25' enough time to go through customs and immigration in CLT (coming from Rome Fiumicino) before a connecting domestic flight? I have an Italian passport and I am not an US citizen or resident.  If the answer is "probably no", I assume it will be the airline's responsibility to reschedule me on a later flight, if both my flights are operated by the same company and sold on the same e-ticket --- am I correct?

I'm from the State of Kuwait and hold an Eritrean passport. I'm planning to visit UK in October but my visa will expire in November.    Is it OK to make a journey in the last month of my visa, provided that I make sure that I book my plane back before expiring date?
