Transit Visa?

[safitu 0]

I just called British Airways about booking a flight for my fiance and they said he would have to have a transit visa in order to fly through Heathrow! I cant believe after all this, he has to apply for another visa? Does anyone know about this?

believe the transit visa he will need is for England since his final POE will be in USA.

That would appear to make TWOV viable for him, since he will be holding a valid US visa - correct?

That was my reading of it as well.
