I have just finished doing it.  For the benefit of the others as well as for my own reference in future, I would like to share the process here.

Students attending academic programs which are 18 hours or more per week will be required to obtain Student VISA, even for summer programs.

1. Obtain I-20 visa certificate from the school (USD250.-)
- Proof of financial support
- Proof of medical insurance

After receiving I-20 from the school,

2. Pay SEVIS fee (USD200.-) online www.fmjfee.com.  Print out the receipt.

3. Book appointment with US consulate. http://hongkong.usconsulate.gov/niv_appointment.html
(can book appointment before or after completing DS-160 form online)

4. Fill in Form DS-160 online for Non-Immigrant VISA application

- print the confirmation page

5.    Pay VISA fee HKD1,280.- at Dah Sing Bank (any branch)

6. On Appointment date, bring the following documents:
