No ASC Appointments Available in Juarez?

[dro4739 5]

So my wife and I just got our appointment for her consular interview in Juarez a couple of days ago, which is on February 10. We immediately went in to try to schedule her ASC appointment in Ciudad Juarez but the website tells us that there are no ASC appointments available. If we select other locations (Nogales, Baja California, etc.) there are available appointments for the week of her interview. We are thinking of getting her ASC appointment in Nogales a few days before her interview and then making the drive from there no Juarez. But at the same time, this seems extremely sketchy (I don't want to be driving through essentially one of the most dangerous regions in the entire world for six plus hours!). Is it possible that ASC appointments will open up before her appointment? Has anyone else experienced this issue or had to do their ASC appointment at a different location than the Consular interview? 

 

Thank you to everyone who replies! What a tense and nerve-wracking experience this has been for us.

Bumping this because I still have no answers. To clarify...

 

• Wife has her consular interview appointment in Juarez on 2/10.
• We are trying to schedule her ASC in Juarez but the website tells us no appointments are available.

Two questions are:

• What happens if she goes to her interview on 2/10 without having gone to the ASC?
• Is it possible to attend the ASC at a different location than where her appointment is (for example, Tijuana or Nogales)? Not sure we want to even go that route but want to know if that is an option. I called them on the phone and the operator didn't know the answer to that question.

Thank you for your help!

Hello there!

 

I am in the same situation. Appointment for Feb 8.

 

You can call the consulate and have them schedule it over the phone... I hear a lot of people have had good luck with that, but I have not had any luck.

 

They just tell me to call again in two days.So, i call in two days, and again they tell me to call in two days.

 

+52 656 344 3003

Options 2-3-1-1 (In Spanish)

 

Also they did mention that if I cant schedule an fingerprint appointment, to just show up at the ASC location 1-2 days prior to the interview appointment and they'll let me do the fingerprints done.

Thank you so much for your reply! I wanted to let you know that we WERE able to schedule an ASC appointment through the website. My wife and I started checking the site throughout the day and we noticed that appointments would randomly open up. First, one came up on the 3rd, then another came up on the 9th which we grabbed right away. So my advice would be to keep checking the site every day throughout the day and you will hopefully see an appointment show up.

 

Good luck with your appointment on the 8th! This is the most stressful thing I've ever had to deal with in my life and I'm hoping it is all over soon.

I am in the same situation as both of you. Could you tell me, how things turned out for both of you?
