So I am active duty military, and was wondering how to get my wife and daughter back to the US. We got married back in 2015 on a 90 Fiancé Visa and after that we were suppose to apply for a Green Card but money was tight and we never did. So in 2017 we had a daughter who is a legally an American Citizen. But in 2018 she left to go back to the UK with our daughter. I was told that because she left the country without a green card she would not be able to enter the US for a minimum of 10 years. We are still married and I’m still active duty, who or what do I need to do in order to see my daughter and wife again?

It sounds like she does, in deed, have a 10 year ban (she overstayed her I-94 for more than a year) from the day she departed the US.   You can start the spousal visa procedures, but she will require a waiver (I would hire an attorney) later in the process.

 Here is a link to the IR-1 process:

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
