Hi, my daugther has expired k2 visa, she reached 21 yrs old and still in the philippines, what will we do if we still want her to be with us? Do we need to file a new petition for different type visa?

You now have to file an I-130 for her.

Unfortunately there's a long wait for her. 10+ years. You have to file an i130 petition for her. She will be under the F2B category. She has to stay single otherwise she'll wait twice as long.

Thank you for your answers..

another thing, i have read in k2 limitations that k2 holder cannot changed any other non immigrant visa if you have k2 record it will be a violation  as what it says.. i am confused, does this I-130 will apply on my daughters case? 

Thank you all

There is no such thing as changing from one visa to another.  That does not exist.

 

Your daughter can apply for a different visa and that has nothing to do with the K-2 visa.  A K-2 visa shows immigrant intent which will make it harder to get a non-immigrant visa.  

 

Filing for the I-130 is not filing for a visa or changing visa - the I-130 is only a petition to see if the beneficiary is eligible to wait to apply for an immigration visa in the future when the PD becomes current.   About 10 years after you file the I-130, your daughter can then apply for an immigration visa.

How old was she when you got married?

Usually it is better for the USC to file.

That's unfortunate 

[Boiler 45,557]

Basically you file unmarried child of a LPR.

[aaron2020 11,651]

The only thing you can file for her is an I-130 petition.  Then wait 10+ years.

You are filing for a family reunification Visa.  File the I-130 and wait, wait, wait. Category F2B unless she gets married.
