Wife Got Juarez Approval Next Step Unclear! Also: La Casa de Las Bugambilias Rocks!!!

[MazHysteria 2]

Ok, my wife got her passport with the temp visa in it on Thursday, Nov. 6 2025. We then went to the Ciudad Juarez/El Paso border crossing and did the sign in/U-turn walkaround routine. Somehow, with great difficulty we managed to pay the $235 U.S. fee.  We also set up the USPS Informed Delivery service to warn us when the green card will be mailed.

  

Now for a question for you clients/fellow-survivors LOL.

 

I want to double check when her green card will be mailed and also where they are in the process.  I went a few times to this site: USCIS Case Status Online using our  payment IOE number and got an archaic payment message from back on May 11 2024 when we paid for our file being opened.  I also tried to login using her A-Number.  Didn’t work at all, couldn’t get in.  

 

Do we just sit and patiently wait or is there another place we can go which has more up to date info on the processing steps for her card?  I believe the messages should be something like this: 

 

"Card Was Ordered To Be Produced"

"Card Is Being Produced"

"Card Was Mailed To Me" (This status usually includes a USPS tracking number).

 

I hope to heck I am in the correct thread for this. This site is a great resource but it is a little big for my small brain, please forgive me if this is in the wrong thread.

 

We would also like to sincerely  thank the staff at La Casa de Las Bugambilias in Ciudad Juarez. Without them we would still be fumbling around like a blind man in the dark! They listened to our moans and groans, and transported us to all the various appointments. They even included most of our meals (except weekends) during our 15 night stay.  It was like having a dedicated team working for The Pursuit of The Holy Grail. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not for everybody there, if you must stay at the Hilton or La Quinta and if you are an inveterate perfectionist then the very basic accommodations at La Casa de Las Bugambilias are not for you.  Of course, we also love 5 stars! But keep your eyes on the prize, at a 5 star you are comfortable but will not have any Green Card services.  Maybe a taxi at best and a “good luck” (in Juarez beware of unrecommended taxis).  At the Casa de las Bugambilias they have a tradition that when you get your visa approval you ring the bell and a Mexican Fiesta Moment ensues! It is highly motivating and keeps you going during the more grueling and trying days. Services are 90% in Spanish but English speakers (my wife speaks almost no Spanish and mine is iffy) can be well served.  Last note: Ciudad Warez is a fairly expensive city.  Given the present political situation in the US, the town is jam packed with Green Card seekers therefore, prices are rising.  At the Casa de Bugambilias most of the services are included in your basic room and you also avoid the taxi risks thanks to their in-house vans and drivers included with your room. 

 

We hope this info will prove beneficial to anyone on this challenging quest and may you all get The Card!!!

 

Kudos to Visajourney you are a lifesaver in this Sea of Uncertainty!!!!!

Congratulations, and thanks for your great report!  Someone will be along to answer your question.

 

If you'll be good enough, please copy your long paragraph about La Casa de B. and paste it into a reply post in the thread pinned atop this forum.  It's valuable for others.  If you feel comfortable adding how much you paid per night, even better; if not, that's also OK.
