Hello everyone. I shipped out my wife's package on March 20, it was received March 22, and today is April 10. Is this pretty normal to be waiting about 19 days for USCIS to send NOA 1 notifications? Thank you.

Some of us had to wait past 20 days in order for our checks to be cashed. Mine was cashed on my 21st day, and one of our members just told us that his check had finally been cashed on his 28th day. So stay positive and be patient! Good luck to you :).

Thanks for the info! I've looked at the USCIS website list, but haven't contacted anywhere yet. I've already sent off my I-485 and

purposely didn't send off the I-693  with it because I know they can expire and didn't want to have to pay for it twice. I've read a lot of people just wait until they are asked for it to submit it/submit at interview so I just decided to do that. 

 

Quick question about bout the chicken pox vaccination, if you've had chicken pox, generally you don't get it again, do you still need a vaccination if you've had chicken pox? 

If you've had a chicken pox history then you don't need a vaccination for it

Thanks @Donnell & @SparklePony for the info, I had them when I was really young, my mum used to keep a medical journal of all the vaccinations and illnesses (anything that was notable - not just a cough and cold) so i'm gona get her to scan that and send it to me.
