Pretty sure you can just go the State Dept. website, print and fill everything out, mail it in and pay for the double-extra express service. If you need it faster than that, you may need to call your congressman or senator. I have a friend got it done in under two weeks that way, but it was for business and he even got the Russian ambassador to personally issue his visa on the spot.
Yeah, sucks these days.

Used to be a time you walked in and could get it done in a day with no expedite.

There was one office in Manhattan that no one knew about. The main office would have people lined up at 4 and 5 am and still not get in that day, the other office would have maybe one person on line no matter what time of day.

Pays to know where to go.
