In person or by mail from South Bend

11 h 19 min on the road from South Bend rules out a same-day visit: the Embassy takes papers only in the morning, so plan to sleep near Washington, D.C.

A same-day NVR at the Embassy has a short drop-off window early in the morning, which from South Bend 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.
