Brazil Visa in less than 72 Hours
I recently had a trip Brazil come up last minute and needed a Visa. After searching endlessly on the fastest way possible and being told 5-10 day min was the fastest it could be done, I decide to try my luck. I jumped on the next flight to Washington DC on a Monday and got there just as the Brazil embassy was opening. Having no scheduled appointment I grabbed a ticket and waited for my number to be called. With in 15 minutes my number was called and I was able to have my appointment. The agent promised my visa would go out in the mail that day, though I had my concerns. Much to my surprise, on Wednesday morning I had my passport with the Brazil Visa in my hand.
So needless to say this can be done!

While this may apparently have worked for you, as respectfully as possible, the information presented is sufficiently incomplete to therefore not be terribly helpful to anyone else reading. Given this, I would suggest no one rush to take this singular situation as any indication or example for their own case.

I personally know 3 people (separate incidents) who were all given same-day visas from the Chicago location after showing up early the day of their flight and explaining their situation. So it's clear they are willing to help people out- I don't think it makes any sense to bet on that though.

Clearly it's not something they would advertise. but I have friends, not hearsay, who have gotten same day. Additionally OP said he got same day from another location. so believe what you want. I certainly don't recommend anyone banking on this option as I'm sure it depends on your story and their work log...
