Question about getting U.S. work visas approved at the border [Canadian]

My spouse (Canadian citizen) is planning to apply for a L1 visa once her 1 continuous year requirement at work is satisfied. I had two questions I was hoping someone could please answer:

  • Is it correct that as a Canadian she does not have to submit an application through USCIS and then attend a consulate interview? In this case, would she just bring her documentation to a land border/port of entry and make her case to the CBP officer?

  • If you get a visa approved at the border, are you allowed to just turn around and come back to Canada? Or do you need to spend some time in the U.S. first (even just a few hours)? I ask because we might want to go to the border solely for the visa processing when it is lower stakes rather than driving there with a U-Haul truck.

Thank you!

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
