r u planning to walk in to VSC, in that case I have no idea it would make the process any shorter, however, u cannot walkin in NYINS and handover as they wud tell u to mail it to VSC.
So, i guess, u send to VSC asap. Talk to ur lawyer anyway, he may have a better idea, but a short cut is highly improbable.
Its talking now a month if u r lucky, mine AP ND is 14th Nov. i'm keeping figures crossed
