Any Iraqi refugee who has an approved immigration petition is eligable for refugee processing at any of the refugee processing centers. These places include Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Turkey and Lebanon. The US department of state website has all the information you might want on the process. Just google "Iraqi refugee processing" and look for any links to their site. USCIS also has some good information you may want to look at. Once you send your application (which allows you to indicate which country you wish to do the refugee processing in), it takes about 4 to 6 months for the family member(s) to be in the United States.
She is not an Iraqi refugee. She is a U.S. citizen who never lived in the USA but is living in Iraq wiith a non-USC natural daughter and spouse. She is trying to file the IR petition itself for her daughter to come to USA.
I am not an Iraqi refugee either. I am a US citizen and my husband is an Iraqi. This is why I am giving this suggestion of trying the refugee process, because I have been going through the same thing with my husband. From the sounds of things, as you have helped her, her daughter's process is different. I am just suggesting what she can do for her husband. I know they have not started their life in the US and things will be difficult when they first get here. If her husband could come as a refugee, they will give him a place to live, furniture, food and some money to survive. This could be a lot of help for her. Her husband already has the approved I-130 that he needs to qualify for refugee processing as a spouse of a US citizen. Now, if they don't want to do things that way, I understand. I just wanted to let her know that this option is available to her. It also means that her husband would not need an affadavit of support since he would come as a refugee so she wouldn't need to have her friend sign one for her husband if she went this way instead.
