Any foreigners have luck getting the B8 visa while being physically located in Kazakhstan?

I'm from the US and currently in Kazakhstan under the visa-free program for 30 days. I want to apply for the B8 and have most of the documents I need for it.

However I am getting the runaround from lawyers, immigration officials, and ministry workers. Some say I can, others say I can't apply for it. The official website of the Kazakhstan govt says that I can.

Anyone here have the experience of obtaining the Visa without having to travel back to their home country and applying from the consulate there?

Please let me know because this is getting very frustrating.
