Passport request from New York City consulate- can I deliver it in person?

[afolkl]

The subject says it all. My file was transferred to NYC, so I'm assuming that's where the passport request will come from. Just wondering if, when I get the request, I can hand-deliver my passport. I frequently need to travel back and forth between the States and Canada, and it would be a major inconvenience to be without a passport for weeks on end, if I have to mail it in.

Also, how fast is the turnaround if I hand deliver it (i.e. can someone stamp it that day? Or do I drop it off and they mail it back?).

Thanks,

Alex

It appears that the New York Consulate only accepts passports by mail

However all of us who received ppr get instructions in the letter/email on how to submit passports.
In the case of Buffalo, I went in person and got my Visa stamped in one hour!
Another forum member went to Detroit and got his in 2 hours.
