US Immigration from Mexico

I am writing to request an urgent humanitarian expedite for our case.

My father is a 74-year-old Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States currently living with us in Mexico. He is facing serious medical difficulties and his health is declining. He needs the care and quality of life he can only receive in the U.S. Furthermore, he has funds in his Social Security account that we urgently need to access to cover his needs, but we cannot do so unless we cross back to the United States.

Background of the Case: In 2019, we had an interview where residency was denied because my mother required waivers. We attempted to file them, but we were scammed by an attorney and lost all access to the case. Since then, we have been unable to move forward.

Request for Independent Processing (CSPA): Due to my father s urgent medical state and our mother's pending situation, we wish to proceed with our process independently from our mother. My siblings and I were minors when the case was opened and when we attended the consulate. We are requesting protection under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) to travel and care for our father in the U.S.

We are desperate to provide my father with a better life and the medical attention he requires. We look forward to your guidance on how to move this process forward urgently.

I am looking for similar situations. We are in the process of fixing my wife s immigration status, consular processing in Mexico but she has had two encounters at the border. She has accumulated a total of 2 days of unlawful presence. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Were you required to request a waiver or not? We are very nervous since her appointment is approaching.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right topic forum.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Italy this summer in July. She recently submitted her application for US Citizenship in mid October, the approximate waiting time is 4.5 months in Chicago.

If we purchase a plane ticket under her Mexican passport maiden name (Ventura) and she happens to pass her interview, becomes a US citizen (changes her last name to my last name) if for any reason her interview is close to the trip, can she use her Mexican passport and show her US Naturalization Certificate and/or US passport for re-entry to the US? The reason I ask it's because airlines are very strict and don't allow to make name changes on a plane ticket, only dates and passport numbers because of renewals etc but not the name once puch.

This is just a scenario if this plays out like this. Thank you!

My wife has her interview next week. While reviewing and gathering all the documents uploaded with her N400, we noticed that the file for 2024 s federal tax return was actually a duplicate of the state return. I m surprised she didn t get an RFE. She ll bring the federal return to the interview but what s the best way to address it? Is there an appropriate time? Should she expect a delay of the decision?

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!!!!!

Disclaimer: My wife and I are in no way connected financially or relationally to The Casa De Bugambilias. If we were, OMG!! In this visa boom we would be set for life. LOL
