No, not unless you are a US citizen or residence, then you can apply at a Border Port. Otherwise you have to apply to an overseas office.

Can I apply to an oversea office while I am in Canada and get the response from here? And after I get the new visa I can go to the boarders and change from visitor to student visa??

Also if my visitor visa expires until I get the response do I have an implied status?

Very urgent!!

Can I extend my visitor visa, and when the response will arrive I will visit US border with the valid visitor visa in order to switch it to student..
In addition, I can visit US for a couple of days and switch it to student on the way back. My country does not require to apply for a visitor visa in US.


Is that possible??

Where does it say that they will not let me walk in?? I also found that if you go there in person the response can be made in 2-3 days!

Technically yes, but practically expect a refusal with the direction to apply in your home country. No implied status.
