Getting from Richmond to the office, or using the mail
From Richmond, 2 h 20 min each way is a long day: set off early, because the Embassy stops taking papers before lunch.
For a same-day NVR, the Embassy takes passports only early in the morning, which from Richmond means leaving before dawn.
At the Embassy, the e-passport enrollment slot comes from the national portal, while the NVR is handled the same day without an appointment.
