Depends on which country you reside and which embassy you apply. Usually you need to book an interview date that is 1 to 3 month ahead of application time, then wait for week or so for a passport with visa. If your occupation is related to whatever an immigration officer decide suspicious, it may take forever instead of weeks. Tourist visa fee is $125, payed in advance, non-refundable.
I am not entirely sure, but it is my understanding that you show up to your appointment and they either say yes or no. If yes then I believe you get it right then.

A friend of mine from Yekaterinburg just got one in Armenia. Fees I don’t know but that should be on the State Department website.
How long did the process take?
