There are some 7 festivals where in your screening leads to eligibility for Independent Spirit award. What is the next step? I mean after eligibility how do we proceed towards nomination?

The nominees are selected by nominating committees that include members of Film Independent and an employee or employees of the organization. There are eight or ten people on each of the nominating committees.

So the way a film is nominated is that it makes a splash either in commercial release or at one of the seven targeted film festivals. Getting accepted to one of those festivals is a huge achievement in and of itself.
