They told me that once the passport is in the system, it's possible to upgrade it to expedited processing.
There was a mistake on my application - what I get for letting Chrome fill in the form fields automatically - but they fixed it over the phone. All three times I called there was no wait to get a human being on the line.
And I even took a decent passport photo for once.
