Thankyou but asking if anybody has a first hand experience.

I travelled last year Nepal from US via Hethrow as permanent resident. I dod not need any transit visa. Read the following information from last part of the link I am posting here
Passengers exempt from the DATV requirement
Holders of certain documents are, regardless of nationality, exempt from the requirement to hold a Direct Airside Transit Visa when transiting the UK.

A transit passenger is not required to hold a transit visa if he holds or a person with whom he arrives in the United Kingdom holds on his behalf:

a valid visa for entry to Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the United States of America and a valid airline ticket for travel via the United Kingdom as part of a journey from another country or territory to the country in respect of which the visa is held;
a valid visa for entry to Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the United States of America and a valid airline ticket for travel via the United Kingdom as part of a journey from the country in respect of which the visa is held to another country or territory;
a valid airline ticket for travel via the United Kingdom as part of a journey from Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the United States of America to another country or territory, provided that the transit passenger does not seek to transit the United Kingdom on a date more than six months from the date on which he last entered Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the United States of America with a valid visa for entry to that country;
a valid USA I-551 Permanent Resident Card issued on or after 21st April 1998;
a valid Canadian Permanent Resident Card issued on or after 28th June 2002;
a valid common format Category D visa for entry to an EEA State;
a valid common format residence permit issued by an EEA State pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No. 1030/2002;
a diplomatic or service passport issued by the People’s Republic of China; or
a diplomatic or official passport issued by India; or,
a diplomatic or official passport issued by Vietnam.

Notes:

A valid U.S. immigrant visa packet (form 155A/155B)is a 'valid visa for DATV exemption purposes.
An expired I-551 Permanent Resident Card issued on or after 21 April 1998 when accompanied by an I-797 letter issued by the Bureau of Citizenship authorising its extension, exempts the holder from the DATV requirement.
Holding either an I-512 Parole letter or an I-797C (Notice of Action) instead of a valid U.S. visa; or a Transportation Letter instead of a valid U.S. Permanent Residence Card issued on or after 21 April 1998 does NOT qualify for exemption from the DAT visa requirement.
Holding a valid travel document with a U.S. ADIT stamp worded – “Processed for I-551. TEMPORARY EVIDENCE OF LAWFUL ADMISSION FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE VALID UNTIL…. EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZED” does NOT qualify for exemption from the DAT visa requirement.
Whether holders of non-national (including refugee travel documents) require a DATV depends on their nationality and whether they qualify for one of the exemptions listed above. So, for instance, the holder of a non-national travel document (e.g. a refugee travel document) who is a national or a citizen of one of the countries listed on the DATV list (e.g. Afghanistan) will require a direct airside transit visa if they are travelling to the UK to transit on to a third country.

Hope this helps.

I came through London last july and I wasnt asked for a UK visa. I guess as long as you are inside the airport you are good. I had more than 2 hr transit and didnt have any problem.

Thanx guys
Lukhurke,
I'm in H1 visa,not a permanent resident yet but i 'v a valid working temporary visa.In that senerio also looks like I don't need transit visa right?

Hey Bideshi,
I was in H1 visa as well. So I dont think you need to worry.

What if somebody doesn't have H1 B stamped in passport?

Bideshi...u dun need to get a visa stamped on ur passport for a transit at heathrow...last time I went to nepal i had a transit of 5 hrs at heathrow as well..
so dun worry...n btw it doesnot matter whether u have H1 or F1 or B1/B2....u dun need a visa as long as u stay inside the airport terminal.....happy journey bideshi..

Thankyou all

bideshi - enjoy your stay in nepal! :)

thank you nails.By the way r u from SMS?

Good tips had been passed though it will not hurt to check with the airlines you are flying . One airlines did let my relatives fly to London though holding us working visa.
