Transit is different. Because you never leave the transit area of the airport, you aren'"entering" the country. This is why Snowden had to hang out in a transit area of an airport hotel until he could get the paperwork to legally enter Russia.
You may still need a transit visa, but those should be easier to get.
- jrbancel 11y agoThere is no concept of transit/international zone in the U.S.A.. This means passengers, even the ones on transit, must have legal right to enter the U.S.. Going through a U.S. airport just for transit is always a bad idea, as it takes a lot of time to cross the border.
