I tried contacting consulates in other cities to see if they would accept mail in applications and they all said no, you have to use the consulate that covers the area you live. If it was as simple as getting it in 3 days, I would've done it a long time ago.



Same thing here in LA, must apply in person and must have an appointment.

In additional appointments can only be scheduled through the consulate website, no phone or e-mail. At the moment the appt calendar is showing nothing available for the next month.
