What is a valid reason to get an emergency visa appointment in Canada or Mexico? Does having a newborn in US (with expired visa, but valid status for parents) who cannot travel to India count?

Usually, emergency visa appointments are supported when you are stuck outside the US and need to make it back for critical medical or family reasons.

I don’t see how it could be supported if you are already in the US.

But if there is a critical reason for you to leave the country (US) in the first place, then perhaps there might be a case to made for your urgent return (Eg the newborn has medical appointments in the US)

Visa stamping in Canada can sometimes be faster than countries such as India which face long delays.

Also I think Canadians are not allowing folks from the US as far I know.

Think that depends, visa might be essential travel

I was in a very hostile work environment at Citigroup so I decided to leave the company to join JPMorgan Chase. But after over a year I decided to apply for an opening with a different team, went through all of the interview and the hiring manager wanted to onboard me. However, the recruiter was not able to get approval from the rehire team to process the offer so that didn’t go through. Does anyone know how to find out if I’m permanently ineligible for rehire at @citigroup
