Can I get emergency appointment from US because I have an appointment in a consulate in US?

If I understand your question correctly, you currently live in a country we'll call A and want to apply for permanent residence in a country we'll call B. Country B has no embassy in A, or it doesn't issue permanent residence visas or something, so you wish to travel to the US to make your application. But Country A nationals can not enter the US without a visa and you want to expedite your US visa application.

Assuming this understanding is correct, the answer is no, this is not likely to be an emergency as the US defines it.

The exact definition of "emergency" appears to vary by visa issuing post, so you should check the US embassy web page in the country you live, but for example in Mexico, the criteria are:

  • An immediate relative's death, grave illness or life threatening accident taking place in the United States.
  • Urgent medical treatment for the applicant or their minor child.
  • An applicant for a student or exchange visitor (F/M/J) visa whose I-20 or DS-2019 has a start date that is earlier than the first available visa appointment.
  • An unexpected need to travel to the United States for urgent business purposes that is occurring within 10 days after the first available visa appointment.
  • An unexpected visit that is of significant cultural, political, journalistic, sporting or economic importance that is occurring within 10 days after the first available visa appointment.

If you are willing to disclose the identities of countries A and B, people here may be able to help you think of other ways to solve your problem, but as written, your question is too vague for any more answer than this.
