You can not transmit US citizenship to your child since you were NOT a USC when it was born. You will have to file I-130 to get her a green card. Once she enters the US and is in your phyisical and legal custody, AND you are a USC, she becomes a USC through the Child Citzenship Act of 2000. Check this for more info:

--Automatic Citizenship through the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (CCA)--
