I would suggest you get there early. The line up to get inside the gated area is long. They stop letting people in at 11am. I’ll never understand why they only have one person working at such a busy consulate. I would suggest you go early in the week as it’s a next day pick up. I wouldn’t suggest to go on a Thursday or Friday just in case there’s a problem with the paper work and you end up having to stay there for the weekend.
There is a copy shop across the street from the consulate in case you need it.
