I need clarification on point
E. Workers. If you are already working in the U.S. and are returning to your job you can use the emergency/priority scheduling online.
IMPORTANT: Emergency appointments can only be given to first time applicants for an H or L visa if they are returning to continue their employment, for instance after a change of status to H or L while in the States. Dependents do not qualify for emergency scheduling unless applying at the same time as the principal.
Essential documentation:
- Evidence such as a previous visa, form I-797 or I-129 to demonstrate that they are returning to their previously authorized employment in the United States and proof that employment is authorized.

I am working in the USA for 6 years already, I have to go to India to attend my divorce court appoitment and I need to get back to my job within 15 days, the appointment is in february and the current normal appointment date is April. Do I qualify for emergency appointment?

I have already stamped my visa once in the USA in 2003 after getting the original stamp from India in 2000.

Can anyone please clarify?

Thanks
ZB
