Emergency visa for death

[annjadora 2]

I am asking for an older person 62, his mom died yesterday in the US

he has his 4 siblings there, only kept in touch with 2, he has 2 properties &

a current contract with a construction firm, he has no desire to move

abroad or he could have years ago, he wants to go to mothers funeral

in 12 days , what is his chances...he is a very bad stutterer. He has:

Titles and Tenants

death certificate of mom (coming)

letter from Doctor Coming

contract job letter from boss, he has to return and finish. (large construction)

'

Would this be enough for him to get a visa, he is unmarried

Can the email request expedite & his nephew accompanying him( sometimes no words come out)

Does he fall under disability to be accompanied

what exactly is the visitor visa process & cost

If email is sent Tues how long B4 he may be schedule (he has to express renew his Passport Monday)

Thanks for a response

The chances of him receiving a visa in less than 12 days are slim to none, sorry.

My dad got a visitors visa in less than 12 days. (Note: he doesn't have a New Zealand passport so it wasn't esta)

His aunt died, he set up an appointment with the embassy, showed up with all sorts of proof that he would be back. Almost didn't get it because my mother was also at the interview and she was grilled for not going with him. In the end he got it so it is possible.

However this situation is extremely different from my dad's so I'm not sure.

His family is will push funeral back 3 additional days

what is the costs and do he just send the email & expedite?

not a time to be negative in a persons misery. Thanks li_09

He could email the embassy and ask. I know that the one in Croatia does allow emergency appointments and they specifically list funerals as one of the reasons. If you tell us which country he's from maybe someone can tell you something more concrete. Good luck!

Kingston Jamaica, don't know if he can pull off

all he has to do, he is weak crying and stutters

real real bad It gets worst when pressure is on

He has a nephew who would be able to explain

for him by accompanying him, feel so sorry for him

to get in,

he has to get an appointment.

to get an appointment, he has to pay the visa fee.

to get to be able to pay the visa fee, he has to fill out a DS-160 (this is an online form).

suggest you get on a PC and study over at

Okay, so they do have emergency appointments. I would go ahead and pay the fee and book an appointment asap. Then, send an email to the address provided in the link explaining why he needs an emergency appointment with the info they require (name, relationship, place and description of the situation, and contact information for the attending physician or funeral home). Also write that he has a terrible stutter and is very distraught and ask if they'd allow his nephew to come with him to the interview. The nephew can help him send the email (read write it for him and send it from his address, with his knowledge of course). Make sure he brings lots of proof of ties. I really hope things go well for him.

What was his Mothers status and what is his siblings status in the US.

[annjadora 2]

USC and LPRs I think because he stutters so bad ,

was comfortable in his line of work (well known)

live in a nice home and neighborhood he did not

want to move to the US, they have lived there since 80s

Tomm. all doctors docs and funeral parlor papers will

get to him via fedex, his passport he will get expressed

to collect Wed, his nephew will do the online app on

Tues, We are praying for him Thanks for all the answers

Complete DS160, pay the fee, schedule appt online, then request emergency appt. they will change his interview date and the rest is up to him to prove his return home.

except the fella not have a passport.

Glad I was wrong; the US government can move swiftly on the extremely rare occasions they choose to.

Want to say thanks to all the answers, the young man got

the visa including his mom sister, he was in so much emotional

pain and the embassy saw it was real, he does not have a bank

acct. his job letter was all they took asked him no question and

had him pick up visa at DHL2 days, should be back on the 31st,

but he is asking to change his return date before. His mom was

buried this past Saturday.

Not everyone wants to stay in the USA I guess, but thanks all
