ASC Mexico City without letter?

[meadow 2]

My fiancé has the interview scheduled in Juarez for June 26th (yay!), and we scheduled his ASC appt. in Mexico City for June 20th. The letter of invitation still hasn't arrived, and while there's still time, I'm worried that the unreliable Mexican mail system means that it won't get here before the ASC appt. I saw in this post from last year that someone was able to go to ASC in Merida without the letter and still get everything done. Is that true in Mexico City?? Should we try to change the ASC appt. for the following week in Juarez before the interview to make sure we can get a copy of the letter? Thanks so much for any advice!

I cannot tell you for sure whether or not they will allow it, but I know someone not too long ago was able to without the letter. I suppose that is the one you read about too. If you go ahead and try it without the letter, I would take all your other confirmation notices with you. You can let them know you have not received it and will be getting it from the consulate once you go to Juarez for the interview. I would hope they would let you, but if you want to be safer.. change the appointment to a couple days before your interview in Juarez and get the letter from the info window at the consulate beforehand. Go to the medical the next day, and then finally to your interview on the 3rd day.

Hey All,

I know this is an old question, but just wanted to give an update. My fiance was able to complete the ASC appointment in DF without any problems! We never received the invitation letter, but wanted to minimize the number of days in Cd Juarez, so I took a chance and just went ahead and scheduled the appointment in DF. Afterward, I started to worry so I called the consulate and asked if it would be a problem without the letter and they said no.

Long story short: We arrived to the Mexico City ASC 30 minutes early, as suggested (which put us about 10th in line, and ahead of about 40 other people) and just before his 7am appointment they started telling everyone to have your appointment confirmation page, passport and barcode page in hand. This turned out to be the DS - 260 confirmation page, which they mark as having had the ASC appointment. Overall, it was pretty quick and painless, my fiance was in and out in less than 15 min!

So if anyone else is already in Mexico City, go ahead and schedule the ASC appointment for the location in the Zona Rosa.

My fiancee heads to Cd Juarez for his interview this coming week, so wish us luck!

Thank you for the information and confirmation that Mexico City will allow you to attend your ASC appointment without the CDJ letter. Good luck in Juarez!

Do I have to schedule our CDJ interview first before I could schedule out ASC appointment in Mexico City?

Thanks

I'm so glad it worked out for you! We ended up changing the appt. and going to ASC in Juarez just to be safe, but it's good to know that the letter's not mandatory in the DF. Good luck with the interview!

Thanks

Hey sorry to respond so late... you want to make sure that you do the ASC before the CDJ interview. On the appointment website, they ask you to do the consular appointment first and then allow you to set up the ASC interview.

Also, as an update: My fiance just went to the interview in Juarez and he said that both the clinic and the consulate asked for the letter of invitation. So while we didn't have a problem with the ASC in Mexico City, he had to go to the consulate and ask for a copy in order to complete the rest of the process....which I'm happy to report was a success!
