ASC Scheduling

I was reading on my consulate's website (http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/iv_steps3.html) that I need to go to http://mexico.usvisa-info.com to create an account, schedule an ASC appointment for my Mexican Spouse, and then register a DHL pickup location.

However, when I go to create an account should I set this as myself (the US Citizen Petitioner) or should I create this account on behalf of my Mexican Spouse (beneficiary)?

Also, since I found this http://mexico.usvisa-info.com website on the consulate website, I'm assuming its not a scam and really necessary. Right?

Thanks!

I tend to distrust URLs with hyphens, and this one looked a little suspicious to me too. But it's legit.

I just created the account for my wife (as the beneficiary). No problems with doing that. :thumbs:

My case was closed on Wednesday and I was wondering if it is necessary to create an account on the consulates website?

Awesome.

However, I went in and created account, but in the section that read:

If the applicant:

·Is starting the process and would like to read information about this visa category, please select "Immigrant Starting the Process- Family-sponsored"

.Received an appointment from the NVC, please select "Immigrant Schedule by NVC – Family-sponsored"

.Has been asked to schedule an appointment by the Consular Section, please select "Immigrant Consulate Has Asked You to Schedule - Family-sponsored"

I selected "Recieved an appointment from the NVC, please select "Immigrant Schedule by NVC - Family Sponsored."

I think I screwed up because on my account page, it says "You currently have no appointment scheduled."

Should I have done "Has been asked to schedule an appointment by the Consular Section?"

And if I go back in and do this, will it screw me up because I already selected the other option?

By the way, I did already select a DHL location, and it says "There is no information on the DHL Waybill Number at this time."

Need some help before I go onto the next step here, I don't want to screw up anything because they assigned a reference ID #

Nevermind, I called directly and got them to schedule me before my interview - even though on their website they said they were full up until the 24th. I recommend calling to schedule the ASC, very helpful. 703-439-2310

Don't worry about your interview date not showing up. It's the same for Canadian IR-1/CR-1 applicants (we use the Canadian version of that site). We have to sign up for a DHL location, and after it's all done, on the applicant summary page, it says there's no appointment currently scheduled either. But it's fine as your date was scheduled by NVC. That portion for the interview date applies to K1 applicants (for Canada anyways) as they schedule their own interview dates through the site.
