Same process as you did for her mom (same $$). File the I-130 petition to start the process.

Exactly the same process as for your wife except you will be filing for a CR-2 instead of CR-1. Check all the appropriate sites (USCIS / NVC / SLEC / CFO / USEM)for possible fee increases since you last files.

All the documentation and proofs for your step-daughter are the same as for your wife. Since she is already 17 I would advise starting soon since I believe there is an 18 year old age restriction for application.
