Complete process of filling DS-160 to visa interview
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2AI_Q6bf5gXRlpBQkE3ZDN3Vnc/edit?usp=sharing

Please note that while paying DS-160 fees online through net-banking you will asked to write the type of account of the beneficiary, in which you can write Domestic and current account, as this worked out for me
 
1)A U.S. visa in his/her passport gives a foreign citizen permission to apply to enter the U.S. A visa by itself doesn’t authorize entry to the U.S. A visa simply indicates that your application has been reviewed by a consular officer at an American embassy or consulate, and that the officer determined you’re eligible to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry for a specific purpose. The port of entry can be an international airport, a seaport or a land border crossing.
 
2)At the port-of-entry, a U.S. immigration officer of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decides whether to allow you to enter and how long you can stay for any particular visit, as part of the Admission process. Only the U.S. immigration officer has the authority to permit you to enter the U.S.--I 94

Visa Expiration:
The visa expiration date is shown on the visa along with the visa issuance date. The time between visa issuance and expiration dates is called your visa validity. The visa validity is the length of time you are permitted to travel to a port-of-entry in the U.S.

Depending on your nationality, visas can be issued from a single entry (application) up to multiple/unlimited entries.

A visa issued for a single entry (denoted on the visa under "Entries" with the number 1) is valid, or can be used from the date it is issued until the date it expires to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry one time.

A visa issued for multiple entries (denoted under "entries" with a certain number (2, 3, etc.) or "M" for multiple/unlimited entries) is valid, or can be used from the date it is issued until the date it expires to travel to the U.S. port-of-entry as many times as your visa states, provided that:

Applying for a new visa is not necessary if your visa has not expired and you have not exceeded the number of entries permitted on your visa.

Multiple uses of a visa must be for the same purpose of travel allowable on the type of visa you have.

Please be aware, a visa does not guarantee entry to the U.S. Additionally, the visa expiration date shown on your visa does not reflect how long you are authorized to stay within the U.S. Entry and the length of authorized stay within the U.S. are determined by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer at the port-of-entry each time you travel--I 94.
