Non-Immigrant Visas
Appointments For Emergency Travel
Medical Emergencies, Student and Exchange Visitor Travel
Do NOT request an emergency appointment unless an online appointment is unavailable.
The Consular Section will try whenever possible--on a space-available basis--to expedite interview appointments for applicants with special circumstances (e.g., emergency medical treatment or a death in the family) and students (F or M visas) and exchange program participants (J visas) who need to report to a U.S. educational institution by a certain date. Please do not use the term "emergency travel" for an appointment request when the reporting date is several weeks/months away. Applicants who cannot obtain an online appointment may call the Embassy (33 41 71 00) between 2:00 and 4:00 PM, Monday, Tuesday OR Thursday, or send an e-mail explaining the special circumstances to copenhagenNIV@state.gov; please write “Emergency Travel” in the subject line and include your telephone number and e-mail address.
