I brought my wife here on a Fiancee Visa. We got married in May of 2005. She got her Perm. Resident Card on 1/4/06 and it has an expiration date of 2008. Her daughters are currently 20 and 22. From what I have read I don't think I can petition for them because they weren't under 18 years of age before the marrige. Can my wife petition for them?

Thank You

Your wife files the petition, it is family second pref, and can take several years to get a visa number from NVC.
