assuming the daughter qualifies, you can use K-2 if the plan is to come at the same time or within one year of the issuance of your fiance's K-1 Visa. If longer, anytime after married you could file an I-130 and petition as your step child.

A US Citizen step parent can file I-130 for children if marriage took place before child's 18th birthday, after that only the child's biological parent can file the I-130

Green-card holders get lower visa number prefrences than US citizens when filing 1-130 for children.

It would depend on how old the child is?

She's 13.

She's 13.

options are, K-2 if the child would be following less than one year from the time the K-1 was issued.

more than a year. IR Visa after you marry, you can file an I-130 and petition as step child. once your then wife becomes an LPR, she could file an I-130 , but that would probably take longer.
