After her entry did she have to do anything to initiate the process to have her Green card sent? If yes, did a delay in that process perhaps cause green card to be delayed? I guess Im wanting to know if 45 days is the norm... If that's what I should expect in terms of waiting period.

I paid for the green card 1 month before she came here I think the clock doesn't start to after she goes through POE that's what it seemed like to me anyway. But every case is different and you know how slow the government is
