I've done a search on here about Emergency AP's and I've only read about them being issued the same day at an Infopass appointment as long as we have all the required documents (birth certificate, letter from doctor, translated letter from doctor, form I-131 and payment). However, when I asked about the emergency AP at our Infopass in Des Moines, they said that those are no longer issued on the same day and we have to send it in and we would receive it in about 2 weeks.
Since Des Moines obviously won't do it on the same day, is there any way possible for me to do another Infopass appointment in another location that will do it on the same day? For example, going to Chicago instead of our local office in Des Moines?
Any ideas?

Probably not, I still think your best bet is to submit it and then go through all of the channels you can to get it expedited

Maxnma,
You may want to try making another Infopass appointment at another office. I was desperate a few weeks ago for my emergency AP to travel to Canada. We were denied twice by the Philadelphia office, which was closest to us. The following week we were visiting my husband's parents in New Hampshire, and decided to try the office in Manchester for the heck of it. We were approved in less than ten minutes, and left with the AP in hand - and had brought exactly the same evidence and documents as we had to the previous appointment in Philly.
Good luck to you.
Thats funny, but hey if it works, give it a try
