Hi,
I got my greencard through employment back in 2010. Now my 16 year-old daughter who is Canadian joined my new family here in the US and we plan to sponsor her for permanent residence. I have not checked any immigration subjects or news for the last couple of years. Are there any precautions or caveats in having my daughter apply for her greencard based on my petition for her? She arrived as a B-2 (no I-94) in mid-August this year and should be safe to stay for 6 months after her arrival. She also went to high-school which should be fine and does not need any visa (I hope). I plan to fill out Form I-130 for her and then I-485. Are there any recommendations or suggestions regarding the process? How long will it take to get through? Her mother (my ex-wife) lives in Canada. Do we need any paperwork from her to submit regarding my daughter immigration?
Thank you in advance!
