Dear Consular Officer,

I am writing to request an expedited appointment for my visa application to the United States. My name is [Your Name], and my SEVIS ID is [Your ID]. I have been admitted to a fully funded Ph.D. program in [Your Major] at [Your University] for fall 2023, and I am eager to begin my studies.

Unfortunately, the earliest appointment I was able to secure was on January 10th, 2024. This appointment is almost five months after my program start date of August 28th, 2023, and it will cause a significant delay in accomplishing my duties as a Ph.D. student. 

I am hoping to travel to the United States some weeks prior to the program start date to arrange all the necessary paperwork and secure my housing. However, the current appointment date precludes me from arriving on time, which could potentially jeopardize my studies. 

Given the urgency of my situation, I would be more than grateful if you could kindly accept my request for an expedited visa appointment between April 10th and May 10th, 2023. I understand that the visa application process requires careful consideration, but I assure you that I will provide all necessary documentation and comply with all requirements. 

I would be extremely grateful if you could grant my request for an earlier appointment. Thank you so much for your attention and consideration.

Sincerely,

Your Name :
