Will appreciating sharing forms &/or links to file a case for my daughter.

I am lawful permanent resident just entered the states and received my green card & SSN.

All the family is here except my daughter she is unmarried 26 years.

Me, spouse and a son are lawful permanent residents while I have another son born in USA and carried US passport.

 

How could I apply for my daughter and are there any chances to expedite her case?

 

Thanks

Start by filing an I-130.  Visa number availability for family visa categories cannot be expedited.  She will be F2B category.  Her priority date won't become current for several years.

As it's likely to be a decade or more before she is eligible for a visa, do be aware that if she marries in that time she becomes ineligible - green card holders can only sponsor unmarried children. Her only option if she wanted to get married would be for you to get citizenship, and move in to F3 category.

 

Good luck.
