    I do not have an American Passport. I do have an American Green Card (Alien Resident Card) that will be expired in this coming April 2015. I would like very much to be able to go to Viet Nam to visit my first Cousin who is dying with liver cancer. I fear that she will not make it through this weekend. Since the Consulate requires that the Passport should have no less than six months from the expiration date. I fear that I am not met for the requirements since I only have the Resident - Green Card that will expired in April 2015. Will there be a way for me to receive Visa to enter Viet Nam to be with my dying cousin for a few days? I hope you Will grant me the urgent dpecial permission. Thank you very much, T Nguyen
