Every consulate/embassy has a different way for handling their Non-Immigrant VISA (NIV) applications. However, they generally consist of applying for an interview, PAYING administrative fees, getting fingerprints taken, having an interview with a consulate officer, and adjudication of your case (which can take varying lengths of time DEPENDING on the amount of review needed). Some CONSULATES ask the petitioners to send their application packets and supporting documents before your interview for "pre-screening", other consulates REQUEST you bring the documents on the day of your interview.
