Not sure what the title should be for this one but I was wondering......if my husband were to take a flight from Cairo to Heathrow and then from Heathrow to Boston, would he have an immigration type delay in Heathrow or is that all done once he lands in Boston?

He would be in transit at Heathrow so no immigration..... he would go through US immigration at Boston.... as long as his flight is direct to boston.... if it goes via Dublin or Shannon the he would go through immigration there....

How come Dublin or Shannon? Are there other international airports where he'd have to go through immigration?

Currently, most if not all Canadian airports, Dublin/Shannon and some places in the Carribean ....

YMMV

I found the Carribean ports on the CBP website but couldn't find any in Europe or other countries.

I believe all the Canadian airports now pre-clear, and Dublin and Shannon do, too. Heathrow definitely isn't one of the ones that pre-clears.

Not all Canadian airports preclear. Usually you can look at the size of the airport and whether the airport you're going to has customs stationed at it. Where I"m from I would usually clear in Seattle.

You won't, because other than in Ireland there are not any others.

doodlebug,

How did you manage that? All of the preclearance locations are listed on the same page of the CBP website: Canadian first, then Caribbean, and then Ireland.
