That happened to me when I applied for mine, even though I did it weeks in advance. I sent an email to the address on the site explaining my flight details and the next day it was approved, you could try that.
We did a similar thing back in the Middle East several years ago when having to do visa runs for a while and like a lot of Countries they changed the rules and required different documentation nearly every time we went depending on mood and which way the sand was blowing 🙄 not fun when it was a 4 hour drive to the border of Oman with two small children…. Until we found our “secret weapon”.
The smallest of the small children, she was around 1 at the time. We found that if we took her in line with us and she smiled with her big beautiful brown eyes at the officers, they absolutely loved her and then they were all concerned that she was waiting in line in 50 degree heat, so they’d laugh at her, play with her, offer her food and water, usher us along quickly and THUD.. stamp in passport “please take your baby out of the heat”….. GLADLY SIR, GLADLY!
And off we went with our new visa’s, worked like a charm every time. Moral of the story… find your secret human weapon. 😂
