E2 visa from outside the US - USCIS petition

[capricorian]

Is USCIS petition needs to be filed in the US by lawyer prior to submit the case to US embassy when E2 visa is being applied from outside the US?

May I know a high level process for applying E2 visa from outside the US whether USCIS petition is filed from US prior to interview at US embassy?
