First, an IR Visa is not a visitors visa. It is not meant as a way to travel in and out of America "as she pleases". She is going to have to reside in America. She must be IN the country for more days than she is OUT of the country or her greencard will be taken away.

That being said, you can find a gang of people applying for step children, and the journeys we have been on here... http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/363683-stand-alone-i-130-for-stepchildren/

Good luck!

An IR-1 is an immigrant visa, the beneficiary needs to make she lives here. That being said. The best advice for any interview is to be confident, and answer all questions 100% truthfully. Good luck!!!

yeah ... the port of immigration once told me that as long as she is not out of the country for more than 1 year is OK for her to come and go ... she still goes to school in Lima Peru .. for now she will just travel back and forth to see how she likes it and then if she makes the decision of staying she ll stay !! at least with that visa she can do so ! am i right?

i was wondering what kind of questions will she be asked
