You have to make an appointment for biometrics yourself.

Biometrics is NOT done at Consulate. It is done at Visa center location which is a different place from the consulate and has to be done BEFORE your wife goes for Interview at the consulate.

Visit http://www.ustraveldocs.com, follow the instructions to create an account, log in, and schedule an appointment to have your photograph and fingerprints captured at one of the five Visa Application Centers in India

Not sure. Please double check your country's emabassy/consulate regulations.

For Mumbai, Biometric has to be done at the Visa center location atleast a day before the Interview (My 2 cents: Do it 1 week before the consulate interview if you can) . It cannot be done after the interview. With out the Biometrics confirmation letter you will not be allowed inside the consulate for your interview.
