Reapplying for the F-1 visa from the UK as a foreigner
Is it possible to apply for the F-1 visa to the US from the UK? I have no UK citizenship, nor Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. I plan to apply for the UK visitor visa first and re-apply for the F-1 visa to the US, as US embassies in my country are closed now.

Yes. See https://expatriates.stackexchange.com/a/8013/164 by Michael Hampton:
The US does not restrict where you may apply for a nonimmigrant visa (such as a student visa) from. You may do so in any country you've legally entered, even if as a tourist.
From the US State Department: travel.state.gov > Visas > Study and Exchange > Student Visa:
You must schedule an appointment for your visa interview, generally, at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the country where you live. You may schedule your interview at any U.S. Embassy or Consulate, but be aware that it may be difficult to qualify for a visa outside of your place of permanent residence.

Can you reapply for F-1 visa?
Once the F1 visa is denied, it is final and cannot be appealed. However, applicants can reapply as many times as they want until they finally get the F1 visa approval to study in the USA.How many times can you apply for F-1 visa?
There is no limit to how many times you can apply for an F-1 visa \u2013 although it is probably not wise to apply again and again without modifying what went wrong. If you learn from your previous mistakes, gather the necessary evidence and go in confident then there is little reason you will not get your visa.How do I replace my f-1 visa?
Lost or stolen U.S. visas cannot be replaced in the United States. For replacement of a visa, you must apply in person at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate abroad. When applying for the replacement of a visa, you will need to provide a written account documenting the loss of your passport and visa.What happens if my f-1 visa expires?
You can stay in the United States on an expired F-1 visa as long as you maintain your student status. However, if you are returning home or traveling to a country where automatic revalidation does not apply, you must have a valid visa to return to the United States.Can I Apply for a Visa if I Was Refused Before?
