I just spoke to the lawyer who filed on our behalf. He states that it was an I130 that was filed for us both and all fees are paid for us both. 

When I log in it says; I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and her name as the beneficiary and it says the case was received and an email sent in acknowledgement.

Case Was Received And A Receipt Notice Was Emailed

On September ##, 2019, we received your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, Receipt Number blah blah. Since I have received this for her my green card was provided to me over a month a go, but I have received no further information for her.

They don’t know your daughter is ready to follow to join until the i824 is filed.

Following-to-Join Benefits

This section is for beneficiaries who became permanent residents through a preference classification.

If you were married and/or had children who did not obtain permanent residence at the same time you did, they may be eligible for follow-to-join benefits. This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130 for your spouse and/or children. In addition, your spouse and/or children will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. In this case, you may simply notify a U.S. consulate that you are a permanent resident so that your spouse and/or children can apply for an immigrant visa.

Your spouse and/or children may be eligible for following-to-join benefits if: 

• The relationship existed at the time you became a permanent resident and still exists, AND 
• You received an immigrant visa or adjusted status in a preference category. 

If your family member falls into this category and you adjusted to permanent residency in the United States, you may submit the following:

• Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition
• A copy of the original application or petition that you used to apply for immigrant status 
• A copy of Form I-797, Notice of Action, for the original application or petition 
• A copy of your Form I-551 (Green Card)

If you are in the United States and have not yet filed to adjust your status to permanent resident, you can file Form I-824 with your Form I-485, in which case no supporting documents are needed other than those submitted with Form I-485.

If you received the immigrant visa overseas, you may contact the National Visa Center (NVC) for follow-to-join information. Send your inquiry by e-mail to NVCInquiry@state.gov or by writing to the National Visa Center, ATTN:  WC, 32 Rochester Ave., Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909.

I am not understanding...  and I'm not sure the above applies to my case. If additional information is needed they would send for it. and an I-130 was already filed for her, at the same time I was filed for. I got my green card last month and they did say they would contact me separately for any other relative filed for. Why would I need to again send in a i824 that they did not ask for. plus they already have her case information...  I don't think I need to send in any other information on my own. Where would I send an i824 to? and would they not request additional information if needed like they did wit h me?

The lawyer knows, how to screw up, and drag out. On top if, it he has all the money up front.
