I had a compelling reason last year to get same-day pages and was declined.
I had run out of completely empty pages, and needed to get several more visas for an upcoming trip which was more than 2 weeks out. Based on the number of visas and their timeframes, I needed the pages in less than 2 weeks.

I brought copies of my plane ticket, itinerary, copies of visa forms, etc. and they rejected me.

So of course I booked a refundable plane ticket to the Bahamas for that weekend, went back a few days later, and got the pages.
