Has anyone ever successfully closed out an under consideration stamp a few days earlier than the date they said to come back?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses whether it's possible to collect an immigration document with an 'under consideration' stamp before the scheduled date. Users share experiences, noting that while it's generally advised to wait for the indicated date, it may be possible to retrieve documents earlier if one has a valid reason or if the paperwork is ready. Communication with the immigration office is emphasized, as answers can vary depending on individual circumstances.

I have a similar question..I was given an under consideration stamp for December 7, I thought that is a holiday, asked the officer & she said, ITS NOT! We’re open that day!
Closed it out exactly one day early. Some slight of hand was used to hide the date to get past the first two rounds of checks. Made my case to the third person giving out que numbers. After consulting with someone, they gave me a que number. No further questions were asked.

The date is usually because that's an estimate for when they expect to have your papers ready. If they're not ready, theres nothing you can do. You can them before and if you're lucky and they answer and your papers are ready, maybe they'll let you pick it up early.
My reason is they accepted my application without tm 30 in place with a stern warning to fix it....and I want to go back in as soon as I got it fixed to confirm it's right before it gets messed up again. Return date is Monday. I would go in thur or 2 business days before
