I will be working as a front line trainee physician at the community hospital. I will be involving in direct patient care in Medicine wards as well as Covid patients.

Due to the current Covid travel restrictions on top of the terrible military coup happening in my home country, Burma (Myanmar), the flights to Myanmar have been cancelled. The embassy in my home country is closed too. It is impossible for me to go back to my country to process my Visa application for now.

I humbly would like to request an expedited appointment for J-1 visa application in Monterrey that can allow me to continue helping covid patients

Emergency reason from someone working for Healthcare/ H4 EAD / financial loss / Job loss / Emergency at home country

To the consular officer,

Subject – Requesting an emergency appointment for an H4 visa between 5th July to 10th August 2022, based on potential job loss in the healthcare sector and financial loss.

Hope this email finds you well. I am <NAME OF MY WIFE>, currently in the US on an H4 visa and awaiting my EAD (receipt date: 18th Nov 2021). My current I-94 expires on 2nd Sept 2022 and therefore I am writing to request an emergency visa appointment due to the following reasons:

1. I have a master’s degree in life sciences (microbiology) and an extensive work experience in Healthcare IT in Cancer Precision Medicine (clinical trials research). Some prospective employers (including my past employer) in the same field have offered me job opportunities as soon as I get my EAD card given the increased demand for subject matter experts in clinical trials research with a skillset such as mine. But my EAD card will expire on 2nd Sept 2022 along with my I-94, so if I don’t get a new I-94 and H4 visa, I will not be eligible for the EAD auto extension.

2. This may prevent me from starting my job as soon as I get my EAD, or more likely, I will have to quit my job beyond 2nd Sept 2022 and will have to face indefinitely long and unpredictable delays by the USCIS for H4 and H4 EAD extension once again after already having waited for about a year to get my current EAD.

3. Such delay will result in serious financial losses for me and will also significantly diminish my long-term career prospects. Moreover, it will create hurdles & delays for me in acquiring financial independence for starting a new family – a major concern given our growing age.

4. I will also lose my driver’s license, which will not only severely restrict my independent mobility but also deprive me of the most widely accepted ID document.

5. Without the new visa, I will face travel restrictions for an unpredictably long time. This becomes important for me due to my elderly grandparents back home in India who happen to have severe ailments and I might need to travel at a moment’s notice to help with their medical emergencies and be with them in their difficult times.

6. We tried our best to get an appointment in India (paid the non-refundable visa fees too). But due to COVID, appointments are unavailable there for an indefinite time.

Thus, I earnestly urge you to give me an emergency visa appointment between 5th July to 10th August 2022 so that I would be able to file my EAD renewal application in time and be eligible for the EAD auto extension.

Regards,
<NAME OF MY WIFE>

He has been admitted in hospital due to various life threating issues and I have been informed for an unavoidable presence to assist my mother and my family. Given this situation, I need to travel to India for a few weeks to provide all the support and care that they need at this time. Even during this time in India, I will be on call 24×7 to support our systems.

Since India was affected badly due to the pandemic and the nationwide lockdowns It is extremely difficult now to schedule any visa appointments. Please consider my situation and approve my emergency appointment request for a visa interview in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, so that I can travel out of country & Also I will be to come back to continue my critical job for helping current healthcare organizations.

Thanks & Regards,

Someone moving from F2 to F1 – Emergency reason

I am an Indian citizen and a current F-2 visa holder. I recently got an admit into the University of South Dakota (USD) for a Masters in Computer Science Program with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence specialization. My research under this course is focused mainly on the in depth adaptations of Artificial Intelligence within the healthcare industry such as utilization of smart devices for a better disease/symptoms identification. These adaptations will not only help the healthcare industry to identify any new patterns or symptoms but also will increase the efficiency and success rate.

I am currently residing in Arizona with my husband, who is working remotely as a Product Manager in the United States under F-1 OPT status. The University classes begin on the August of 23rd and are in person owing to the high vaccination rate in the country. Currently there is at least 10 months processing time as per the USCIS website for the change of status request from F2 to F1. In addition, amidst the current pandemic circumstances in India, I cannot travel to my home country for my visa processing.

I am highly interested in the education opportunity and I need an F-1 visa to attend the classes at the USD as a full time student. I also need the visa at least 30 days before my classes start to plan our relocation from Arizona to South Dakota efficiently. As such, I am requesting to expedite my visa process and allocate me a visa slot on July 20th, 2021.

Thanks in advance for understanding

Students for F1 (or) F2 to F1 (or) Any other visa to F1 stamping

==============================

Reason 1 : H4 to F1 stamping

Hello Officer,

I, xxxxxxxx currently staying in xxxxxxx United States on H4 Visa. I have secured an admit for Master of Science in Information technology from University of the xxxxx with research focused on the HealthCare Industry,this research helps hospitals in tracking and tracing people who are already diagnosed with COVID using NFC (Near-field communication). This technology will help hospitals to address long standing problems of mitigating effects of infectious diseases and treat people before the disease becomes a pandemic by aiding hospitals in understanding behaviour of diagnosed patients.

My classes are on-going and summer classes are going to commence from May3rd, 2021. For me to continue my Master of Science, I need to get my VISA stamping. Due to COVID risk, quarantine rules, COVID test requirement, time to travel, availability of flights and availability of appointment dates. I can’t travel to my home country India. I have only a few days left for my classes to start for summer semester.I tried for regular and emergency appointments many times but I am unable to schedule regular appointments before May.

I would like to travel back to the United States before April ends. I would like to request to approve my emergency appointment request for an F1 Visa Interview in Monterrey.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

==============================

Reason 2 : For F1 Visa

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing this to get an emergency appointment for my student (F1) visa as my summer semester starts in less than a month and I cannot travel back to XXXXX because of the recent spike in COVID-19 cases.
 I am currently enrolled in a Master’s program at the University of XXXXX on dependent (H4) visa. I had to start my program on H4 visa because of COVID-19 outbreak, there was no window of opportunity for me to travel back to XXXXX and get F1 visa. Now, as my summer semester starts on XXXXX-XX-2021 and it has become very urgent for me to start this semester on F1 visa.
 I have to complete two semesters on my F1 visa to be eligible for OPT and I only have two semesters left in my program. I invested a lot of time, money and effort to get into the university but if I am unable to get my F1 visa on time, I will not have OPT and there will be no opportunity for me to gain relevant job training, seriously impacting my future career prospects.
 I was planning on going back to XXXXX for my F1 visa interview but given the recent surge in the COVID-19 cases in India, most of the cities are getting locked down with a curfew and everything looks very uncertain at this time. Also, I don’t want to leave my wife alone here in the US in a stressful situation when there’s a chance that I might get stuck in XXXXX because of international travel restrictions given the really high number of cases in India.
Please consider my request for an emergency appointment any time before XXXXX-XX-2021 so that I can start my school on time.
Thank you,
XXXX

I am currently enrolled in a Master’s program at the University of XXXXXXX on a dependent (H4) visa. I had to start my program on an H4 visa because there was no window of opportunity for me to travel back to my home country and get my F1 visa due to the Covid pandemic. Now, since my summer semester starts on 17th May, 2021 it has become very urgent for me to get my visa stamped so that I can attend college at the start of the semester on F1 status. Additionally, I have to complete two semesters on my F1 visa to be eligible for Curricular Practical Training/OPT and I only have two semesters left in my program. I have invested a lot of time, money and effort to get into this university and if I am unable to get my F1 visa on time I will not have the opportunity to gain invaluable relevant training during my Curricular Practical Training/OPT, seriously impacting my future career prospects.
I was planning on going back to my home country for my F1 visa interview but given the recent surge in the COVID-19 cases, most of the cities are in lock-down with a strict curfew in place. I also don’t want to leave my husband alone here in the US in these stressful times where there’s a chance that I might be stuck because of international travel restrictions given the massive number of cases in India.
In light of the above, I would be really grateful if you would consider my request for an emergency appointment any time before 17th May, 2021. So that I can safely continue with my educational endeavors.

Sincerely,
XXXXX

Reason 4 : For F1 Visa (Bachelors in Pharmacy/ Masters in Business Analytics)

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing this to get an emergency appointment for my student (F1) visa. The year 2020 has created unprecedented challenges for health care and the world beyond. The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a global crisis, as people worldwide were forced to adapt to the new realities brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The current situation has affected various industries in different ways, benefiting some and disrupting, or even sidelining, others.
In a short time, COVID-19 has increased our dependency on technology and companies are actively investigating this digital transformation. In developing digital strategies, the focus must be on increasing efficiency while minimizing risk. Since, I have studied under graduation in pharmacy I have decided to complete my masters and will settle in healthcare industry. Pharmaceutical companies have also considered digitalization as an opportunity to improve their business models. It provides a new potential stakeholder journey that enables them to communicate directly with clients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many pharmaceutical companies have strengthened their efforts by offering the medication to the various countries and patients via online orders, healthcare marketing, remote monitoring of clinical data.
My college’s semester starts in less than a month, and I cannot travel back to my home country as I had originally planned because of the recent spike in COVID-19 cases which has resulted in travel restrictions. I am currently enrolled in Master of Science in Business Analytics at the Trine University, Detroit on a dependent (H4) visa. I had to start my program on a H4 visa because there was no window of opportunity for me to travel back to my home country and get my F1 visa due to the Covid pandemic. Now, since my summer semester starts on 7th June 2021 and my orientation will be held on 19th May 2021, it has become very urgent for me to get my visa stamped so that I can attend college at the start of the semester on F1 status.
My classes are ongoing and summer classes are going to commence from 7th June 2021. I would like to get my VISA stamping before my classes. Due to COVID-19 risk, quarantine rules, COVID test requirement, time to travel, availability of flights and availability of appointment dates, I can’t travel to my home country India. I have only a few days left for my classes to start for summer semester. I tried for regular appointments many times, but I am unable to schedule regular appointments before my summer classes.
In light of the above, it would be really grateful if you consider my request for an emergency appointment any time before 14th May 2021. So that I can safely continue with my educational endeavors.

Your Sincerely,
Xxxxxxxx
