For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Cedar Rapids means arriving the day before.
The Embassy books the e-passport visit inside the national portal, epassport.gov.bd, and says it cannot book those slots itself, while an NVR is walk-in.
Mind the clock: Cedar Rapids keeps Central time and the Embassy Eastern time.
