I was approved for a Q2 visa a few weeks ago from the San Francisco consulate. However, FedEx lost my passport in the mail when it was being sent back. I just applied for the visa again online after getting a new passport.

Does anyone know if there's any way of expediting the new approval? I called the consulate and the person wasn't very helpful, but said I could email them with the application number and see if I get a response...?

How quickly do they reply to emails? Should I just keep calling instead? At this point is it even possible to get it in time?
