EXPEDITED VISAS FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL
Applicants who need to travel to the United States urgently for business should first call the Visa Information Service to schedule an appointment. Follow the instructions for scheduling an appointment here.
If the scheduled appointment does not fit your immediate business travel needs, you may request an expedited appointment by e-mailing us. Please note that you MUST already have a scheduled appointment, in order to request an expedited appointment.
In order to qualify for an expedited appointment, the business emergency must be a specific event such as a conference, a meeting, or a training class. Only the individual business traveler may come to the emergency appointment; the family of the traveler cannot be interviewed at that time.
Applicants should be prepared to present documentary evidence of the business reason for their expedited appointment at the time for their interview. This should include a letter from the company in the U.S., conference programs and dates and other information as necessary.
Please note that an expedited appointment in no way guarantees that the visa will be granted. Each applicant must qualify for a visa under the U.S. Immigration Law. If issued, a visa normally will be printed on the same day and off-site delivery will be arranged through DHL delivery service the following day. occasionally, unforeseen computer problems may delay visa printing.
