My soon to be 17 year old daughter would like to move to the US (from the UK) to be with me (10 year Green Card holder) and my wife (American Citizen). Does anyone know how old my daughter would have to be to be able to make the decision herself and not require her mothers cooperation with the process?

Happily married (save for distance) since August 2008!
