What you can settle without going to the consulate
- fill in the whole visa form and upload your documents on COVA, without leaving home
- get a U.S. apostille from your Secretary of State. The consulate stopped authenticating documents in November 2023
- check whether your trip qualifies for the 240-hour visa-free transit before you pay for any visa at all
You can send another person with the documents, which for distances like these is usually the point.
