no it doesnt you can interview at a different venue/city. If you want to be on the safe side you can fill another ds 160 and take it with you to the interview. Many people have different cities because of the appointment availability
Finally got tracking number for travel document applied in jan 2024.
It was sent to my address but nobody was there so now its at the post office behind my building.
