Our business travelers were given interview appointment dates after the conference or date they need to travel. What can I do to request an earlier date?
If the interview appointment date provided is not early enough for the visa applicant’s intended travel, applicants have the option of contacting the U.S. Embassy or Consulate to request an expedited appointment. The applicant should check the embassy website for the “how to” procedures for requesting an expedited appointment. (Some embassies may use slightly different wording, such as how to request urgent or emergency travel, as examples.) We recommend that all requests for expedited appointments note the date when the applicant actually needs to travel and provide contact information (local telephone number) for the applicant. It should be noted that the decision by the embassy to expedite an interview appointment is discretionary and depends on several factors, including the urgency of the travel and the U.S. national interests involved. The embassy or consulate will review the requests and grant expedited interview appointments to applicants within the constraints of their workloa
