Miami
No reason to pay an expediter. Miami availability is better than Tri-State and if you cant get an appointment you can reach out to your local congressman to get one. I did this for myself and helped others with it and never had an issue. If you need any help feel free to PM or post back here.
Only thing to realize it that it can take an entire day. YMMV on how busy they are but I personally was there for an entire day.
You should start by doing this and seeing if they have any appointments.
A) Call the government and make an emergency appointment. They may not have something for this week in NY, but maybe in Connecticut or other place within a 2 hour drive. Call 1-877-487-2778 from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET, Mondays through Fridays (closed on federal holidays).
