Thanks for your assistance - what is the VWP?

Hello, this is my first visit to this site, so in advance I'd like to thank all those who choose to share their experiences or comment on their dealings with the US Immigration process.

I'm an Australian citizen (49 years) residing in Australia. My US citizen children aged 17 years and 11 years also live in Australia, as does my US born ex-husband. He is planning to relocate back to the US after an extended period of absence (16 years) to spend time with his siblings and ageing parents. My children are also wanting to relocate to the US for the same reasons. My ex-husband is planning to move this year (2013), and we are hoping that we can all move together as we don't want the children to have an extended time away from him.

My question is - which visa should I apply for - it seems the I-130 is a very time consuming option. I'm a Registered Nurse so shouldn't have any problems finding employment, however most working visas are of a short duration, ie 2 years. I will require a permanent residency visa as my daughter will need me to raise her for at least the next 7 years.

Thanks again
