I've perused the forum but haven't seen a case similar to mine. Sorry if I've missed something obvious.
I am an American citizen. I have lived in the USA all my life. My new (1 mo) Chinese wife has been here 2.5 years on a pending asylum application. I am preparing the I-485, I-130, g-325a, I-864, and various other documents for her green card application. Her 15yo daughter is living in China and we want to have her join us as soon as possible. I think I understand the process for my wife but the daughter's case confuses me.
1) I assume I need an I-130 and g-325a for the daughter. Correct? Anything else?
2) I've been told that applying for the daughter concurrently with my wife is the best way. Correct?
3) Do I need to wait until the daughter is inside the USA before applying for her green card? Is there a faster way?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
