I don't know where to start

This is a VERY EASY case.  File to adjust status for her and her daughter.  You must file separate I-130 and I-485 for them.  

 

She entered legally so she can adjust status by marriage to a US citizen.

 

Immigrant intent does not matter, so don't even bother addressing this.

Excellent....Proceed with Adjustment of Status.

Enroll her daughter in school.  Immigration status does not matter.  Federal laws does not allow a school to ask or refuse enrollment based on immigration status.

Hi there! You have been given great advice so far. Just wanted to add that you need to send these forms together with the I-130 and I-485:

- form I-765 (employment authorization )

- form I-131 (travel authorization, in case she needs to travel outside of the US while AOS is pending)

- Form I-864 affidavit of support
-Form I-130A.

Really the 765 and 131 are optional, but they are free to file with your AOS, so it is recommended for you to file them at the same time. Current wait time for AED card is 8-10 months.

 

Also, for the interview, you will need to show proof of a bona fide relationship. Such evidence may include:

-Car/ health/ life insurance with both names.

- Joint bank account.

- Joint lease.

- Joint utility bills.

 You don’t need to worry about sending this evidence at this point. I’m just mentioning it because some people scramble evidence at the last minute before the interview

If no, she can do AOS here. If yes, she needs to go back. That's what the guide above is saying.

"Did she come to the US with the intent to marry you and adjust status in the US" But that question is mute though. intent was determined at the port of entry. For the sake of argument let's say that was the intent; who in their right mind would go ahead and say that it was their intent?

Correct and that was the reason I said that since OP was worried about seeing that in the guideline.9

That ship has sailed. Intent was established at the border.
