This is a fairly complicated scenario, but basically, Delta refused to issue my boarding passes for a flight to the UK because my return flight to the US (in March) was dated after my UK spousal visa expiry date (early March). Spousal visas are issued for 27 months, and I will be applying for my permanent visa prior to March. The agent who dealt with me phoned their international agents who assured her that the rule was not to issue the boarding pass if it was past the expiry date. I was told my only option for getting on my scheduled flight was to rebook my return to a date within which my visa was valid, which cost me $250, and is not at a convenient time. I am annoyed with this extra expense as I will now have to change the flight again to a time that works for me, and pay another $250.
