Which Bangladesh consulate serves San Juan?
Puerto Rico is on the Embassy’s list of territories that apply to Washington, on its passport page (Embassy passport page).

Visiting from San Juan, or sending the papers by mail
There is no road from San Juan to the Embassy: a visit means flying in and sleeping near Washington, D.C., because papers go in during the morning.
For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from San Juan 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: San Juan keeps Atlantic time and the Embassy Eastern time.
Birth and marriage papers from San Juan for the NVR and the passport
In Puerto Rico, a child born in San Juan needs a birth certificate from the Demographic Registry of the Department of Health, in San Juan for the NVR, with the fee on the Puerto Rico page (CDC, Where to Write for Vital Records, Embassy NVR page).
