I am a filipino with a US tourist visa. If I come to London first, can I go to US from there?

4Welcome to travel.SE. The answer is yes. Why would there be a concern? – Karlson Jan 31 '14 at 12:48

3Are you asking if going via London would be a problem for the US visa, or if the US visa somehow changes your visa requirements to visit the UK? – Gagravarr Jan 31 '14 at 13:22
Yes, you can. The US will not care at all from where you enter the country.
While some countries issue certain visas that may require you to enter a country on a certain border crossing or coming from a certain country, this is not very common and will certainly be stated on the visa. If it does not say anything about this, there are no restrictions.

Can you provide further explanation, some references perhaps? – Mark Mayo Supports Monica♦ Feb 2 '14 at 12:32

2Since the visa does NOT state from where you have to enter the country from, you can enter from where ever you want. Since this is the absence of a rule, there is no official reference for it. Also, your example has nothing do to with this case. Re-entering is not possible because the visa is single-entry. You can still enter from where you want, but only one single time. – Phil Feb 2 '14 at 12:42

You are right. I elaborated my answer a bit more. And yes, I run hitchwiki. Not alone though, but anyway, thanks :) – Phil Feb 3 '14 at 1:05
