Hmmm okay I'll check on that , In the I 130 there is a procedure to ask if the child can come here while it is being processed. That's why I came here to get some help to make better informed decision

The child can visit if they have a valid tourist visa, but there's nothing the I-130 grants in terms of visiting or staying while the case processes.

Theoretically a student visa can apply, although I'm not confident on how practical it would be to actually obtain one (demonstrating the necessary non-immigrant intent would be difficult IMO).

Unless one is elderly or very well off, that's pretty much the case, unfortunately.

There is no realistic way for the daughter to visit.  You would have been better served to come for advise before she returned to Philippines.  Now the only option is the I-130 which will take at least a year.  Your wife can ask to expedite at each step citing that the daughter is not well supported but that fact should have been know before the daughter returned.   Mom needs to send money for the daughter and hope it is spent wisely.

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

I-824 does not apply in her case as she received her GC based on a visa obtained through Consulate Approval  She will need to apply for I-130. She can go visit daughter and be with her at embassy

Phase I - IV - Completed the Immigration Journey
