Consulate General of the United States Jerusalem

The Consulate General expedites visa appointments for medical emergencies and, in limited cases, for unanticipated business or student travel if the required departure date is before the next available appointment date. 

Applicants must first schedule their appointment on-line or through the call center.  Then, they should send an email to JerusalemExpediteAppt@state.gov with specific details justifying their request for an earlier appointment.  Applicants are encouraged to provide scanned supporting documentation, if it is available.  The applicant will be expected to bring this information to the interview, in addition to any forms or other supporting documents required for the visa classification. 

We will strive to respond to expedite request as quickly as possible, generally within two business days.  If your request is approved, you will receive an e-mail confirmation with your new date and time.  If your request is denied, you will receive an e-mail response indicating that you should appear for your visa interview as previously scheduled.
