Visiting from Grand Forks, or sending the papers by mail
With 26 h 9 min of driving, you cannot reach the Embassy before its morning counter closes unless you leave in the night, so count on a night near Washington, D.C.
For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Grand Forks 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: Grand Forks keeps Central time and the Embassy Eastern time.
