if she files for her now, her daughter can't get married soon, because residents can't file for married children, she would have to wait until her mom had her oath ceremony and got her certificate in order to marry. she would have to wait for her mom to become a citizen,

What about the long term relationship, she is quitting that?

29 is no longer young, but if she want to bring her soon to be possibly Spouse her Mother will need to be a USC.

I was afraid of that. So if we file before wife Becomes USC shes not likely to get Visa ??

to me 29 is very young 😀😂

Mom can file now (best to get the priority date in as early as possible) but if daughter wants to get married and keep immigration options open then marriage should wait till mom is USC. Be aware that married daughter changes category to F3 which has an even longer wait, currently around 13 years, likely to get longer.

If she marries when her Mother is still a LPR the application is void.

 

30 is usually considered the wall, obviously exceptions.

It won’t be that young by the time she gets a visa. Unmarried over 21 category is something like 7 years wait, as above even longer if she gets married.

Now” is not an option regardless of if ur wife petitions for her now or after getting the citizenship. Like others have said, It will be 7 years or more of wait before  she can enter US on an immigrant visa (thru i130) and that too if she remains unmarried. She marries and it’s 13 years or more. I suggest ur wife petition her daughter after getting the citizenship.

Just wanted to update. we have decided to wait until wife gets citizenship.

this way if they decide to marry wont become issue.

 

I do have another question, we also have a grand daughter. from different daughter Who turned  18 recently.

any chance we could file a I-130 for her to come ????
