Expedite requests may be considered for urgent humanitarian reasons, such as a minor child aging out, severe illness of a petitioner needing care, or national interest cases. Supporting documentation is essential.

Individual U.S. embassies or consulates may allow expedited interviews for reasons beyond medical emergencies, including family reunification or urgent travel needs. Criteria and procedures vary by location.

Expedited processing is only possible if a visa number is available for your category. If your priority date isn't current, expediting isn't feasible.
