My Mom just became a Pemanent Resident three months ago thru me. She left a daughter that is 18 years old in the dominican republic. Is it better for her to petition now or wait until she becomes a US citizens in 3-5 years?

She could petition now and upgrade the petition when she becomes a citizen...:thumbs:

Ahem, file it when she becomes an LPR (Green-Card Holder), not a Citizen.
