Please be aware that we have a very limited number of emergency visa appointment slots.  If we approve your request for an expedited appointment, we will schedule you for the first slot available. Once your appointment has been scheduled no changes can be made.  If you cannot attend your interview on a given date, you will need to reschedule your appointment by logging into your account at:: ustraveldocs.com/tr/en.

*Please note that your emergency request may be denied if we do not have the appointment capacity to accommodate your request. If your request was denied, please do not send a separate email asking to reconsider.  Rest assured that we have thoroughly and carefully considered your case given the information provided.

If you experience issues scheduling or rescheduling your appointment, please contact our visa information service at https://www.ustraveldocs.com/tr/en/contact-us.
