Всё правильно, дальше перелёт в США, что подразумевает наличие американской визы, которая позволяет покинуть транзитную зону именно при перелёте в страну, выдавшую визу. Попробуйте, например, по ирландской визе улететь в Дублин через LHR - не выйдет. Транзит не гарантирован и в страны Шенген при смене терминала. Эти проблемы начались именно 2 года назад.
Вот никогда не понимал людей которые не уверены в своей информации,но продолжают настаивать на её правильности.
