Had to go to Dulles for mine years ago. Richmond didn’t have an office then. Barely do now.

Depending on what it’s worth to you, maybe consider booking one in ATL or elsewhere and snagging cheap tickets ahead to fly in, interview and return.

Also, once you get it set yourself a reminder a month or so before your birthday 5 years out to renew. Renewal is easy while still active but mine lapsed and I had to redo the original filing. Luckily it came through while I was in Canada and I didn’t have to do another interview at all.
