You should have filed for them the same time.

You need to file i130 for her. Process is almost the same as your wife's. Waiting time more or less a year.

Good luck!

You could petition the child as your step child being the US Citizen parent. Process should be fairly fast and steady.

Either you or your wife is able to petition your child......The visa application will fall under the IR-2 category.

We are currently in the same process.....pretty much the same procedure as petitioning your wife with a few exceptions.

Some consulate specific differences for petitioning for a 14 year old child.....

Send me a message if you have any questions.

If LPR wife files, the child will be under the F2A category which is slower compared to a USC step-parent petition. ;)
