      The other part is that the article mentions that she shouldn’t have applied for the visa at either spot on the border but at the consulate,

      The officer I spoke to was kind but told me that, due to my previous issues, I needed to apply for my visa through the consulate. I told her I hadn’t been aware I needed to apply that way, but had no problem doing it.
