All Angolans need visas to apply for entrance to the United States,#  including in transit.# Please note that, effective October 1, 2003, and until further notice, holders of passports from all countries except those that are part of the Visa Waiver Program need visas to transit the U.S. Visas are issued in accordance with the Immigration and Naturalization Act, as amended, enacted by the United States Congress.

sorry i read your question wrong ;

How do I apply for a 'visitor in transit' visa?

If you want to apply for a visitor in transit visa, you must be able to show that you:

have the necessary visa for the country you are travelling to;

are travelling to a country outside the UK, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man or the Republic of Ireland;

can and intend to go straight to another country;

will be allowed entry to that country; and

qualify for entry as a visitor (read our 'Visitors' information leaflet for more information).

Answer 5

No, while waiting for your flight in London you will not go through customs.  So no visa is necessary as long as you stay within the confines of the airport.

Answer 6

Providing you stay ''Air-side'' of the airport barriers, you will not need a visa.
