Emergency Appointments
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 or Consulate.
Note: Travel for the purpose of attending weddings and graduation ceremonies, assisting pregnant relatives, participating in an annual business/academic/professional conference, or enjoying last-minute tourism does not qualify for expedited appointments. For such travel, please schedule regular visa appointment well in advance.

- If you are from a Visa Waiver Program country and are in India or Bhutan with an urgent need to travel to the U.S., but do not have a passport that meets current requirements, contact the U.S. Embassy or a U.S. Consulate General. Please state you are a "third country national" when you phone or email the U.S. Embassy or a U.S. Consulate
