From Austin: the trip or the mail
27 h 23 min on the road from Austin 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 Austin 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.
Austin is on Central time, and the Embassy works on Eastern time.
