Divorce the sponsor. Proceeding with I-485 is not an option as marriage is not bonafide. USCIS may even use your wife's cheating against you.   Your daughter can sponsor your for GC onc

I don't believe cheating is a qualifying reason for VAWA. As to abuse, OP would have to describe something substantial.

We got married this year and we had a daughter that was born in USA she's a citizen. We have not sent the formI-485 Adjustment of Status yet he keeps delaying it. Found out he is having an affair, what can I do?

You can divorce and switch to a divorce waiver so that you self-sponsor.

 

In the meantime, you’re out of status and deportable.   
 

do you have an attorney?

After 90 days you are out of status and deportable

Your daughter can sponsor your for GC once she's 21. Until then you're out of status and need other avenues to remain in the US legally.

The tricky bit could be taking the daughter.

Sorry, it’s too late to edit this.   I was thinking ROC vs AOS.   As others are saying OP, you cannot adjust status via any route other than your marriage.   Sorry to hear about the situation.

VAWA is the only way I can think of.

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..

Agree.  I meant a valid VAWA claim is the only avenue I can think of for a K-1 to stay...if there was a qualifying reason.

You would need his/the Courts OK

It is complex. You'd need to make sure you do everything legally which may include getting consent from her father and some paperwork. Family lawyer may help with this. I'd bring the subject as you discuss the divorce process with family lawyer.

That isn’t an immigration issue, but it is covered by local and international laws.   You definitely need an experienced lawyer.
