Closing on this. It worked !!

Jun 22: Reached out to Consulate in Los Angeles from personal email with
BOTH (IETF and local Czech host) invitation letters. This is the most
important lesson: write directly to the them. The did not response to
lawyer's emails.

Jun 28: Response from consulate stating earliest appointment they could
give is July 11th. Dropped some hints that they will take urgency into
account.

Jul 11: Appointment at LA . They kept their word. Pretty swift processing.
Asked me pick up in person in on July 13th.

Got visa today. Thanks for the advice, Wei and Moreke in particular. See
you in Prague.

Cheers,
Ranjeeth
