Hi,
I will be visiting the US to visit my friends.
If I am given 1 year permission to stay there as a visitor(B1/B2) at the port
of entry, can I send my application to Buffalo?
As US is not my home country, would 1 year stay permit as a visitor allow me to apply while i am there?

which is typically 3 months and extendable upto 6 months.
Only some visas are for more more than 1 yr stay H1B/4, L1/2,F1/2,J1/2
and others.
