Hi all,

Apologies if this has already be answered, but I can't find it.

My friend just got approved for an O1B today. Horray!

She is from South Korea and has plans to travel to the UK for the Christmas. What are the restrictions for travelling on an O1B visa once approved? She was told that she would have to get a stamp from the US embassy in London if she traveled to the UK. Is this true? Does anyone have any resources that show the rules for this?

Thanks in advance!!

Anyone in pocession of a U.S. visa can depart for the U.S. from any country they're present, as long as the visa foil still has it's validity and not expired. As for traveling to the U.K, that's between UK immigration and South Korea. Your friend will have to find out if he/she will need a visa or not to enter the UK as a South Korean citizen. ( chances are she might not but not totally certain ). Once in the UK he/she can leave for the U.S. anytime as long as visa is still valid for travel.
