Getting from Anchorage to the office, or using the mail
85 h 28 min on the road from Anchorage rules out a same-day visit: the Embassy takes papers only in the morning, so plan to sleep near Washington, D.C.
For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Anchorage means arriving the day before.
For an e-passport, the Embassy sends you to the slots inside epassport.gov.bd, and for an NVR you can walk in.
Mind the clock: Anchorage keeps Alaska time and the Embassy Eastern time.
