Expedited Request for Visa Appointment

Do you have to travel to the U.S. for an emergency? If so, you may qualify for an expedited appointment.

If you have an unforeseen travel need as per one of the criteria listed below, you may qualify for an expedited appointment depending on availability at the Embassy. Travel for the purpose of attending weddings, graduation ceremonies, or general tourism do not qualify.

Qualification:

Travel purposes which can qualify for an emergency request generally include: 

• You need to obtain emergency medical care or accompany a relative for emergency medical care. This only applies if you yourself, the visa applicant, needs emergency medical care or you are accompanying someone to the United States as a caregiver. This is not to visit or care for someone already in the United States who needs emergency care.
• You need to attend to a business matter where the travel requirement could not be predicted sufficiently in advance
• You need to attend the funeral of an immediate family member (mother, father, brother, sister, child, grandparent or grandchild).
• You need to make an appearance in a U.S. court.
• You are a student or exchange visitor (F, M, or J visa holders only)  who (1) is pursuing a degree program that starts in the next 60 days and (2) was not denied a visa within the last six months. English language programs do not qualify for expedites, and exchanges are not for a business exchange, conferences, or meetings.

We recommend starting the application process as early as possible, as emergency appointment spots are limited.
