Registering address online prior to interview

[J-San 2]

I’ve been trying to figure this out for about a week now and I’m stumped. Hopefully someone here can help clear this up for me. 
 

My mother has her interview scheduled for a few weeks from now, and her medical exam in Cairo in a few days.
 

The embassy’s website says that she must register her address online and provides a link (see image). The embassy also provides a checklist that says this must be completed and 2 copies of the confirmation page must be brought to the embassy (see image). 
 

The problem is that the link takes me to USTravelDocs which only gives me the option to fill out a DS260 application and to schedule an interview (see image). But we’ve already submitted a DS260 through CEAC and we have an interview date already and a confirmation page from CEAC. But I have no document delivery confirmation. 
 

Do I need to resubmit the DS260 to get a new confirmation? I don’t see any other way to get a document delivery address confirmation page that they want, but I’m quite confused. 
 

In the past, for the DS160 NIV application, it was all down through USTravelDocs so there was no confusion. 
 

Thanks for your help.

i believe u r reading site for nonimmigrant

 

Try this as it says

 

If your visa has been approved, you will be informed how and when your passport and visa will be returned to you. Carefully review After the Interview  on usvisas.state.gov to learn what to do when you receive your visa, entering the United States, paying the USCIS Immigrant Fee, and other important information

Jeanne, 
Thank you for your reply.  I also think this sounds like this should apply only to non-immigrant visas where the application goes through the USTravelDocs website (DS160).
But the Embassy instructions say that this needs to be done prior to the immigrant visa interview (see below).  It doesn't make sense to me, but I'm worried because of they're being very specific about bringing the confirmation to the interview.  After 18 months of waiting for an interview, I wish it was a bit more straightforward.  

I will also review the link you shared.

The GSS registration, as you note above, is for an immigrant visa. First you create an account and then select "Start Application" to follow the instructions for listing your delivery address (assuming you want home delivery). Depending on your location, you may be able to select a pick up site. Once you fill out the application, print 2 copies of the completed application. Don't overthink -- this is what the Embassy wants you to bring to the interview.

Thank you. I think this is exactly what I need to do but I must have messed it up somehow when I tried. I tried filling out the application (which is quite long) but I never got to the document delivery section or the confirmation page. Now when I log in, I just see that the application is open but I can’t access or edit it. I guess it had to be finished in one go. 
 

There’s an option to close the open application and start over, but I’m afraid that’ll affect the actual DS260 I submitted last year. If it won’t, that would be the easiest way to move forward. 
 

I’ll try to reach out to their help line to see if they can get me to edit and continue the application I started. I even tried making a new account but it won’t let me use the same passport number. 
 

I’ll post here when I figure out how to continue the application.

I made a mistake the first time too. No problem opening a new one and closing the old one. It will be fine.
