I’m sure they do. But they cannot move until they have visas in hand. Anything else is immigration fraud, and risking a ban from the US. I’m sure they’d rather wait a while longer and do it properly than rush and risk being unable to enter the place they call home, right? 
 
So Mom needs to do as everybody has suggested above, and slow her process down until her daughter can catch up. Then they can move together. 

The child does not need an interview.

Delay mom's interview. Call USCIS and ask if they can match the child's case with mom's. They sometimes will do this because it is not technically an expedite so they don't have to follow certain criteria. 
Can't get the medical until they give the Ok which is when the interview is set. 

Why can’t the Mom delay her interview and visa until the daughter catches up, as suggested above? She needs to wait to move with her daughter. 
 
And it’s the same process for the child as it was for Mom - submit docs, pay fees, wait for interview at the consulate etc.

I already told this OP, "If you're willing to do the homework, and pay attention to detail, I don't see any reason not to do it yourself." but the "ifs" mentioned entail far more than simply finding this website and asking question.  If you don't do the homework, you don't know what you don't know, so you don't know what to ask.  We see evidence very regularly of people who didn't do their homework and now they are dealing with the consequences.

In short, no.  You have posted in a spouse visa forum. Please clarify whether you are the US Citizen or the foreign spouse.
 

There really is more to whether you can/should do it yourself that you say.  First, you have to do the homework before you know if your case is complicated or not.  Then, you must have the attitude, aptitude, and motivation to do the homework, interpret accurately and answer accurately.  Part of "aptitude" is the ability to "read carefully, and interpret literally".  We se evidence of folks here every day who cannot or did not do even a C- job of any of that.

Using "a website" does not assure anybody who is "very experienced" is going to be involved in your case.
 
The discussion turned to this because....I....and others think it's irresponsible to tell strangers we know nothing about except that they found THIS website, "can do it themselves".  You "opened' the discussion.  It goes where it goes.
 

Correct, but just as a point of discussion, if the US Citizen petitioner, is dealing with a financial hardship, such as cannot work because they have to be the caregiver for THEIR mother, it might be worth a shot.  Slim chances though.  If it's the mother of the foreign spouse, no chance at all.  That's why I asked.

They will not expedite for the benefit of an illegal alien.

Just to be clear, you'd be returning to the UK in August 2026 to wait for your visa to be issued? You may find that you end up interviewing and finishing the process in London anyway then if that's the case so spending time in Australia in the interim wouldn't have much of an impact. 

On what basis will you be legally in Aust? . You must have residency in order to interview in Aust .. otherwise you would return to the UK for the interview 

An I-485 would not be applicable in your scenario.  I-485s apply only to individuals who are adjusting status inside the US.   Yes, an I-130 can be submitted while you are in the UK, then continued after you move to Australia.  If you wish to delay the process later, you can do so at the NVC stage of the spousal visa process.  

Lamination voids the document. Get another BC he will be asked for another.

They shouldn't be laminated. You may find he's asked to get another copy and submit that.

You haven't mentioned anything that's a red flag.  If you're willing to do the homework, and pay attention to detail, I don't see any reason not to do it yourself.

The joint sponsor is not establishing a household that includes you.  You are counted simply because you are the intending immigrant.  That you plan to begin your life in the USA at the joint sponsor's house, is irrelevant.  You will see nothing on the form or in the instructions that talks about establishing any household.  Don't read thing in that are not there.

No issue at all, but she WILL include a current pay stub from the new employer as evidence of her current income.  Tax related documents are about the past.

The US Consular Officers will also prefer Dad as Joint sponsor.

USCIS definitely cares whether you've been together in person to consummate the marriage.  That evidence MUST BE provided with the initial petition.
