When I completed my I-130 I was asked, 

 

The beneficiary will not apply for adjustment of status in the United States, but he or she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate in. I placed GUADALAJARA in that area because it was an easy consulate to reach from Durango, Mexico. I ran across the below information today and I am wondering if I had put in the wrong consulate.

 

Ciudad Juarez (Consulate General)   Chihuahua    IV and NIV, except E1 visas
Guadalajara (Consulate General)   Jalisco    NIV except E visas
Hermosillo (Consulate)   Sonora    NIV, except E visas
Matamoros (Consulate)   Yucatan    NIV, except E visas
Merida   Yucatan    NIV, except E visas
Ciudad de Mexico (CDMX) (Embassy)   Mexico    NIV, except E visas
Monterrey (Consulate General)   Nuevo Leon    NIV, except E2 visas
Nuevo Laredo   Tamaulipas    NIV, except E visas
Nogales   Sonora    NIV, except E visas
Tijuana (Consulate General)   Baja California Norte

   NIV,  except E2 visas

 

Does this mean that the only consulate that will process the spouse visa is in Juarez? Is this going to be an issue?

Spousal visa interviews for Mexico cases are only conducted at the Consulate in Juarez.  You did fill out the form in error; however, it will be overlooked as the file will ultimately be routed to Juarez.

So this should not be an issue? It was an error but it won't slow things down? Im getting a little stressed about navigating through this process. Thank you for taking the time to reply by the way.

No. Correct it at NVC stage.

Nonetheless, NVC knows what they are doing anyways; for Mexico they will route spousal visa applications to Juarez consulate for interview.
