Emergency Medical Appointment
Obtaining an Appointment for Emergency Medical Treatment
Note: Jeddah will only consider expedited appointments in cases of emergency medical treatment. Since limited visa services in Jeddah are only available four times per month, it may be faster to apply in Riyadh rather than wait for a Jeddah appointment and subsequent visa processing.
Riyadh: to request an expedited appointment in Riyadh, applicants should go through the Visa Point website - http://ksa.us-services.com. Applicants must first select an available date from the options on the scheduling website. Once you have made an appointment, return to the home page and click on the link to "Request an Emergency Appointment." Requests for emergency appointments in Riyadh are reviewed daily.
Jeddah: In case of emergency medical appointment in Jeddah, send an e-mail request to JeddahVisas@state.gov and provide full information on patient, date of appointment in USA, and accompanying family members. The request will be reviewed and applicant will be notified by telephone.
In addition to required documents for B1/B2 visas, applicants traveling for medical treatment in the United States should bring the following to the interview:
-
Evidence of ability to pay diagnosis from a physician in Saudi Arabia.
-
Appointment confirmation from a doctor or hospital in the United States.
-
Treatment cost estimate.
-
Evidence of ability to pay for medical treatment.
