Make an Infopass appointment for the first available date. This is the best way to bring your problem to their attention and will (hopefully) get your card to you sooner than just calling the hotline.

try using a different local zip code, or selecting a more ambivilant purpose for making the appointment.

i wouldn't recommend making appointment w. other district offices other than the one w. real jurisdiction over your residence. the thing is that i went to NY office last week cuz it's MUCH closer to me by distance in attempt to expedite AP. they almost gave it to me right after the conversations till they found out i currently live in CT. they apologized but turned down my case because of the jurisdiction issue. that means i have to spend MUCH longer time taking a train to Hartford, CT and start all over again. but what can you do? regulations are regulations. FYI.

I wasn't saying change your zipcode to reflect a whole other state, I am simply saying for some reason, using nearby alternate zipcodes can have an affect on appointments that are actually available at your own local office. Most places have more than one zipcode in the same area, I am suggesting to try them all. We have had others have success with this.

for example, in case I am still not being clear -

Let's say you live in West Hartford, and there is only one local office in all of CT. You can try putting in an East Hartford zipcode to still get an appt at the same local office, but at times, different options are available. I don't know why, nor do I necessarily care, but if you mess with it within it's own guidelines, you may have some result.

Also wanted to add - the only "regulation" about this is to enter a zip code. They generate possible local offices on that. Just because you change from your personal zipcode (which it is not *required* to be) does not mean that you cannot use a zip code from a block over.

Thanks Lal and Celarlilly,

I finally managed to make an Infopass appointment! Before, they usually say "Infopass is unable to process your appointment..".

Hopefully this will help to speed things up...
