Step two: Identify the type of visa you're after
There are various type of Visa, so first thing first, are you migrating to the US?
If yes, you are applying for an Immigrant Visa, If no, then its the Nonimmigrant Visa you should be applying. Don't get 'em confused!
I applied for a nonimmigrant visa last month and I am pleased to share my experience.
most commonly, B1 visa for those on a business trip; B2 visa for travellers, F1 visa for students furthering their students in the States.
Step 3: Create a Profile
on the VISA APPLICATION page, click on the green box on the right side "Create Account" to create your own profile.
Step 4: Complete your DS-160 Form
Go to the Home page, and click on DS-160 Information under the big title of Nonimmigrant Visa Information. The link to the online DS-160 form is at the bottom of the page.
Read the guideline thoroughly before you proceed.

* by now, you will have your online visa (not the actual visa!)

Malaysia is not in the list.
The fee you need to pay depend on the current consular exchange rate, and application fee for the most common nonimmigrant visa type is $160 (including traveller, student, exchange etc).
