You should contact the consulate to see if you even need a VISA. Here is the email specifically for VISAs: visa@pcgny.net Or call them at (212) 764-1330 ext 322

Make sure to let them know what country's passport you will be travelling under. Most countries have visa agreements with them so a VISA may not be needed unless you are planning an extended stay. You just get the stamp when you arrive at the airport. Even for 2 months, you can get the VISA right at the airport when you arrive and just pay the fee.

I came to US under refugee program, I only have a green card and Refugee travel documents issued by US Department of Homeland security.

Few weeks back i called the counsulate in New York, at first he have no idea what i was trying to say, He dont even know what Refugee Travel Documets are.

I dont know , it maybe take 6 months to issue a visa...
