Emergency Travel

Requests for urgent appointments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. There are emergency appointments set aside daily for scheduling through the call center at (381-11) 305-0550. If circumstances are such that you need to travel sooner than an emergency appointment is available, then please contact us as described below. Applicants requesting such services must show that they have purchased a pin number. Such cases could include:

Travel by a spouse, child, parent, or sibling due to serious illness or death. Applicants must fax an up-to-date statement from a U.S. physician indicating the condition of the patient, including contact information so that, if necessary, the consul may contact the physician. If attending a funeral, a death certificate or other documentation of the family member's death must be faxed to the consular section at fax number (+381) 11 361-5497.

Medical Emergencies. To set up an appointment, applicant should fax a letter from a Serbian or Montenegrin doctor explaining urgency of travel, and why treatment in the United States is required and a letter from a U.S. doctor or hospital (with contact information) confirming appointment and urgency. At the time of interview, applicant (or in the case of hospitalized applicants, a family member) must be able to provide all the documents listed in "Medical Treatment in the United States" above.
