Will like to know if l can file I-130 for both my dad and daughter together.My daughter is living with my dad now.

You need to file separate I-130s for them. While you can send both petitions in the same envelope, they are separate cases and will be processed separately.

Oh ok thanks so much,will they be able to go to the interview together or come together.

Separate cases. Separate interviews. Separate everything.

The case for your dad has nothing to so with your daughter.

The case for your daughter as nothing to do with your father.

If they both happen to get their visas at the same time, they can come together.

Just add wife to the above.

You must file separate I-130s. Your daughter is not included in the petition for your wife.

You haven't said anything with regard your citizenship. Are you a U.S Citizen or Permanent Resident? If you're a U.S Citizen, you have to file a separate petition for each of your immediate relatives (minor children and parents). If you're a permanent resident, you can only file for your wife and children; you can't file for your parents. Only U.S citizens can file for their parents. If you're a permanent resident, you don't have to file a separate petition for your wife and child. You only have to file for your wife and list your child on the petition. When approved - and if your wife is granted an immigrant visa - your child will also get a derivative visa.
