Hi all, been a while since I've been on, I hope everything is great for everyone or getting there at least! I married my US husband 3 years ago, we live in NY. I received my perm res card last October 2005. I have a 9 year old daughter, living with her Father in England. She is having problems with him and her Step-Mother and now wants to come live with us. My question is can my US Citizen husband petition for her to come here, she is his step-child, and so does that mean she's an automatic relative? Or do I have to petition as a perm res? All help would be much appreciated, thanks.. I got this off the gov website, but not sure if it's this simple!

Definition of a Child-A stepchild if the marriage creating the steprelationship took place before the child reached the age of 18

A U.S. citizen’s unmarried, minor child is considered an immediate relative, does not need a visa number, and is eligible to receive an immigrant visa immediately.

thanks again, in advance :help:
