Just be aware that if you are issued a CR1 visa but decide to stay in your country instead of entering the US, the CR1 visa will expire, so when, or if, you decide to move to America later on, you'll have to do the process again.

Since OP still isn't at NVC stage they can delay when NVC gets it by contacting NVC every 12 months to keep the IR-1/CR-1 process pending.

Sure, but if the ultimate aim is to bring the daughter over too that’s not helpful as OP can only sponsor her once OP gets a green card. And the longer they wait, the more likely it probably is that daughter will want to get married, which makes it impossible for OP to sponsor her as a green card holder. Of course if she just wants to be with daughter in meanwhile and not worried about later, this is a good option.

@SusieQQQ, OP didn't answer my questions below:

1. When did you marry your current husband? Was your daughter under the age of 18 at that time?
2. Is your current husband a US Citizen or LPR? I assume US Citizen, but just want to verify.

If they married when the daughter was under 18 then the husband can file a I-130 to start the Family First Preference process. My question #2 is regarding the "my daughter who is 21 years old so she couldn't be included in my I-130" part of OP's initial post. Immediate Relative I-130s cannot include derivatives; separate I-130s are required. I was just verifying that OP's current husband is a US Citizen.

It was my impression from the wording of OP’s various posts that the marriage is fairly recent (and that OP’s divorce happened while kid was in college already or just about to start) but yes, clarification would be helpful. Sometimes impressions gained from posts by a second language speaker can be misleading.

Indeed. It also sounded like OP didn’t realize the cost of a college education in the US - given her main concern seemed to have been financial it’s possible she’s decided Chile is the better option regardless of daughter’s immigration possibilities for now.

Maybe. There's also a posting limit for brand new members. Hopefully she does come back to clear up some of the questions so she can get the best info possible.

Very possible. Many people don't consider international student costs....not the in-state or resident rates, or grants, scholarships, and student loans that are usually only available for domestic students.

~~Moved to Student Visas, from IR1/CR1 P&P - as the OP is asking about student visas~~

You can try. My sister has 2 pending I-130 petitions and she was supposed to wait at least 7-14 years to come to the US.  She applied for a student visa and got approved the second time, so good luck!

When I say that it is expensive to make her stay in my country it is just because It would be better to bring her with me and spend that money here.

She is studying to get English-Spanish-japanese translator degree. 
Even when the law is like this in Chile ..it doesn´t mean we will file a lawsuit. It doesn't happend but if you want to make it work for any reason...you have to go through that process...My daughter is studying and working a part-time job because she wants to be independant from me but anyway I have to help her to pay her expenses according to the law, there are ways to have scholarships also, but it is not our situation. She knows and everybody knows that is she cant help working and studying to get a degree she can go to the court and make us help her.

I got married when my daughter was 20 years old.
My divorce doesn't have to do nothing with bringing my daughter to the US, I was just explaining how the law works in Chile when after a divorce you become a tutor under the law so that is the reason I am worried about leaving her here in my country.

Well you can look at the F1 Student visa if she wishes to study in the US, when does she finish her degree?
