I am Japanese. I was accepted to do internship at university in USA. This university is very close to Canada. I wonder if it is possible that I enter US by ESTA and travel somewhere and then receive DS-2019 face to face, and go to US consulate in Canada to get Visa. Is it ilegal?
I tried to find out about this but I could not get information that I ex actly need. Please give me your knowleage.
