I have come to learn (the hard way, unfortunately) that
(1) Each consulate makes its own rules as to how, and from whom, it accepts visa applications; and
(2) these rules can change any time!
It's a good idea to check the rules at the consulate within your jurisdiction and allow plenty of time to work through the process.
