how did she make payments to USCIS? with one payment for each parent or single payment for both parents? if signle payment for each parent, was the second check for her dad cashed? if so just give it time. The files probably got separated and her Dad's is sitting at soomeone's desk. Even though they were submitted together, they will be treated as different applications and in most cases will trail each other by days. one sometimes gets lucky when both files go together.

WOW!!! I must say that NOA 1 took some time to show up. CSC...:no: . Hopefully the rest is faster. There is a post : "IR-5 timeline" under the forum : bringing immediate family members of US citizens. you may want to share your timeline and experience as you journey.
