To request an expedited interview for immigration, you’ll typically need to demonstrate urgent circumstances, such as:

Emergency Situations

• Medical emergency: Life-threatening illness or injury to the applicant or family member
• Death of a family member: Urgent travel required for funeral or estate settlement
• Business or employment: Critical business or job opportunity

Request Process

1. Contact USCIS: Reach out to the USCIS office handling your case via phone, email, or online portal
2. Submit documentation: Provide evidence supporting your urgent circumstances (e.g., medical records, death certificate, job offer)
3. Explain your situation: Clearly describe the urgent need for expedited processing

Expedited Criteria

• Severe financial loss: Imminent financial hardship or business failure
• Humanitarian reasons: Urgent medical treatment or family reunification
• National interest: Expedited processing serves the U.S. national interest

Tips

• Act quickly: Request expedited processing as soon as possible
• Be clear and concise: Provide specific details and supporting documentation
• Follow up: Confirm receipt of your request and inquire about status updates

Keep in mind that expedited processing is granted on a case-by-case basis, and approval is not guaranteed. Consult official USCIS resources or an immigration attorney for personalized guidance.
