Visitor visa walk-in at New York

[boreddamsel]

Hi,

Is it still possible to walk-in and submit the application in the NY office?
I remember from two years ago hearing that it was quicker (done in two days!) compared to the mail-in which I did and ended up not getting the visa even after 30 days and canceling my trip.
I looked at the visa website and it does not show a walk-in option, just online and in-person VAC.
I have a non-immigrant US visa, and I live in the US, so I cannot use the VAC right?
Has someone recently done the walk-in visitor visa application in NY and if so, can you please share your experiences?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.
Do you know how long the processing might take, if we apply for visitor visa online?
Is the processing time shown on the website for online applications? If so, it says 42 days in NY!
Is there any other way to get the visa processing done in a few days?
I recall the walk-in was supposed to be super quick!

Since they don't have walk ins, the processing time is probably fairly accurate, but as some people submit online, others through the VAC

you can apply online.

The online process time is different based on cases but average it takes about 10-14 business days.
