Approved visa now what?

Alright so my wife just got approved for here visa and she just picked it up at the DHL Office in Mexico. So my question is where would she have to go to enter the U.S.A( I know the airport) but while we was in Juarez someone said she has to go to the border to enter the U.S.A, is that true or do I just buy a plane ticket and head to the U.S.A

Plane is fine thats what 90% in here do.

If she's driving distance, you can drive across.  (Would be beneficial if she's bringing her stuff as cheaper than shipping it.)

 

I entered at a land border from Canada.  I went inside customs for processing and my parents (who had a truck load of my stuff) also went in and a separate officer went through my picking inventory list.

 

Quick and painless, and much more economical than flying (for me.)

Crossing the border gets you to the US but where in the US does she want to go?

If you live Arizona, New Mexico or Texas, then a border crossing might be easier. However, if your wife is joining you in a state further in and wants it to be quicker, then a plane ride might be better.

Thanks, everyone

Another question about getting the social security card, do I have to fill out a form for one, or no since I said yes in one of the forms, and how long would it take to come after the visa is approved?

After she enters the USA she can wait a week or two for the SSN if she clicked YES on her DS-260.  If not go right away and apply for one.  It normally takes 2-3 weeks.
