Really confused by the US Visa Service website

[mjrussell 2]

As part of her packet from the Embassy for her upcoming interview, my wife received a letter indicating that she should go to the website chile.usvisa-info.com to select our preferences for receiving her visa via DHL. When I went to the site, I didn't find the exact menu option mentioned in the letter, but I finally found what I think we need. What was really confusing was that I kept seeing statements about scheduling an interview, and at one point a mention that we didn't yet have an interview scheduled (even though the embassy obviously thinks we do).

Once I got the account set up, I found at the bottom where I could select Immigrant Visa -> Courier service only (forget the exact wording).... Up to that point, I found it very unintuitive, with all the spots it talked about having to schedule an appointment and pay the MRV fee (which I guess is only for non-immigrant visas?

Just posting this so maybe someone could confirm that this is really all I need to do, and see if anyone else was as confused as I was? I still don't see anywhere on their web site where it ties my wife's information to her actual interview.

Is that website legit? It's not a .gov, it doesn't use US government SSL certificates, it doesn't link to any official USCIS sites, it doesn't use US government seals, icons, logos, or notices...

In answer to your actual question, that site also says its for non-immigrant visas. Nothing about immigrant visas.

I searched around and apparently CSC is contracted to run usinfo-visa.com to handle delivery of non-immigrant visas/passports on behalf of some embassies in some countries. They sure aren't trying very hard to look legit! I'm sorry I didn't provide a better answer to your question, mjrussell, other than to note that I don't see anything about immigrant visas there.

Thanks for commenting anyway, I thought the same as you at first, that it looked a little shady, especially since it wasn't a .gov site.

Once you register and get to the final page, there actually is a place to select immigrant, family-based visa service, and the option for in-person pickup of your passport and visa at a DHL office, or home delivery. I was just really surprised that the Embassy asked us to use this site, I see a lot of people talking about setting up their DHL delivery at the Embassy or consulate after an interview. If it works, super, we've got this part done. My wife's bringing the confirmation sheet with her to the interview, guess we'll find out if there's anything further we have to do for delivery of the visa.
