Will i have to go through immigration, security and collect my baggage or Emirates will tag my luggage directly to Chicago from Mauritius and i can be on transit at Heathrow ? my nationality is Indian and would require a transit visa if the above is not applicable. has anybody done this earlier...have not been able to speak to Emirates till now...thanks
Emirates should tag the baggage all the way to Chicago. On arrival at LHR, follow the 'connections' signs. You'll then go though security, and be back airside.

No need for immigration or customs.
