or the current appointment time is later than the departure date, can apply for an expedited interview. There is no fee to request an expedited interview. Applications for expedited interviews must be submitted in person; any expedited applications from visa agencies or third parties will not be approved. Applicants must first make an appointment for a normal interview time from the Visa Information Service Center,

and then request an expedited interview. Applicants (except students) who have had a visa refusal record in the past 6 months are not eligible for expedited interviews. The specific standards and steps for expedited interviews are as follows:
