Thanks everyone, I appreciate the insights!

This is good information. Financially, we can bring her back and forth between semesters, summer etc. I recall when my wife had submitted for her green card, the expectation was you remained in the US apart from some special circumstance and there was a form to submit to get special dispensation. I'm wondering if the green card process is the same for our step daughter,

Hello, my wife is a permanent resident and I have petitioned for my stepdaughter to come to the US. She has received notification for her interview. She is in the Philippines. She is currently finishing her 2nd year at university. My question is, if we move forward now, will she be able to float back and forth easily to complete her education in the Philippines until she gets her green card or will it be difficult as in the case of a K1 visa where it's highly recommended, they stay in US until it's received. It's 10 times cheaper to attend university in PH versus the US. Thanks in advance!
