But (if that applies at all with UA/LH), it would only apply if you had the time to apply for a visa and get a refusal, and only for the first ticket. Alternatively, you may try to exchange your tickets (for a fee, probably, but it should remain less expensive than buying brand new tickets) to move the self-transfer to a country which grants you visa-free entry, visa on arrival, or a quick online eVisa process on the basis of your US visa (e.g. Turkey, UAE, Saudi Arabia...). But a self-transfer with kids in tow remains a bad idea. | |

| 15 hours ago | comment | added | Petr | The main problem is not immigration, but the airline (Lufthansa or United). From their point of view, Milan is your final destination, so they will not let you board the plane in the US unless you have documents allowing you to enter Italy. | |
