How long does it take to get an emergency visa to the United States?

Generally, you can get an answer in about a week if you apply for an expedited American visa.

Matters needing attention in handling expedited visas:

1. Travel purposes that do not meet the requirements of expedited application include: attending weddings and graduation ceremonies, caring for pregnant relatives, attending annual business/academic/professional conferences or applicants who have insufficient application time for tourism purposes. For this kind of trip, please make an appointment for a general interview as early as possible in advance. Non-immigrant visa applicants are advised to apply at least three months before traveling.

2. All application materials for expedited interview should be in English.

The visa office of the embassy is not allowed to bring food and any liquid, including drinks. It is also not allowed to bring any electronic equipment, including mobile phones, so it is recommended not to bring anything except keys, wallets and visa application folders.

The whole area of the visa office of American embassy is under the monitoring of American government. Watch your words and deeds. All your actions are monitored by the camera, which is likely to affect your visa results.

It is very important to be honest in the interview. Misleading, lying and/or submitting relevant false materials may lead to permanent refusal.
