Expedited Non-Immigrant Visa Services

Humanitarian Emergency

The Consulate makes an effort to expedite visa appointments in cases of humanitarian emergencies, which we define as a death or serious illness. If you believe you have a humanitarian emergency, please send a fax with the details to (86-21) 6217-2072. Be sure to include a phone number where we can reach you. A humanitarian emergency is not grounds for the issuance of a U.S. visa; applicants applying for a non-immigrant visa must still prove they meet the requirements of that visa class.
