You can petition her now but there is a multi year wait for a visa number . If you get citizenship you can change classes. Either way it will end up being petitioning an adult child. The wait will be about 8 years and your daughter would be deportable all that time and laws could change to make matters worse. It might be better for her to leave is she is only slightly over her date.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Do not allow her to leave until you have consulted an atty. if she

has no kids or spouse in Jamaica she can wait out the time, just be prepared

to help with her finances, don't allow her to drive, travel from state to state,

and stay out of trouble since she already is out of status.File her petition the

minute U can.

Overstay is forgiven for Immediate Relatives of US citizens.

The 20 years old will NEVER qualify as an Immediate Relative. She will not be an under 21 years old child of a US citizen.

By the time mother becomes a US citizen, the daughter will be over 21 and not be considered an Immediate Relative.

The advice that the daughter stays is horrible. There is no lawful way for her overstay to be forgiven. The only exception is marriage to a US citizen.

------

To mother-daughter,

It does not matter if you file now or after ROC, your daughter's overstay will not be forgiven.

How long has she overstayed?

Your daugher will not benefit from any petition you file as long as she stays in the US illegally. You will be throwing away a legal way for her to immigrate in 8 years for a life of being an illegal in the US. Send her back home. That is the best thing to do if you want a legal way for her to immigrate.

This is horrible advice. "Wait out her time." Why? How will she she adjust without her overstay being forgiven?

Yup
