If I get it right,

" You have legal status in the US, but expired visa"

This should be no problem. Because you can enter Canada or Mexico temporarily for a few weeks (I don't know exactly how many) and return to the US. Many of my friends have done this. This is totally fine. But, these friends were graduate students in the US. I don't know if the rule is different for different visa holders.

So, what you can do is ask someone to drive to Canada and bring your passport with an expired visa to you. At the point of entry to the US, tell the officer that you went to see the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
