Is an emergency passport different from the normal passport booklet?

Same booklet, but you get it much faster.

Can they travel to Europe with a passport card form?

No; passport card is good only to Canada and Mexico, to my knowledge.

You can use it as ID to get through airport security in at least the U.S., however.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I'd say there's actually emergency passpport, which may be source of confusion by @Rhema1:

 

U.S.-Emergency-Passport.jpg?width=1200

 

This passport is only issued when somebody loses their US passport overseas. It has limited validity and is designed to travel back to the US, not being used like a normal passport.

 

When you apply for passport in the US due to urgent travel, you get a normal US passport

Another point @Rhema1, if you plan to travel a lot to countries which give you stamps in passport or apply for visas, you can get a "large" passport book. It's not any larger than normal passport, just has more pages. It will take same time to produce. It costs the same as regular book. I got it just in case, so I won't run out of pages before passport expires. Many countries charge more for passports like this, but US doesn't :)
