    You can try humanitarian parole without going through the U4U program.

    She can apply and you can sponsor.

    Your stepdaughter cannot enter the US with expedited I-130.   
     
    Her category is F2B.  There is no visa available for her for about 7 years.  The expedited I-130 would just get her file to NVC quicker, but the file will stay at NVC until her PD becomes current.
     
    Humanitarian parole is the only option available to you to get your stepdaughter to the US in any reasonable amount of time.

    Minsk_2_San_Diego reacted to Marieke H in Filing N-400 While Waiting For I-751 Interview / Approval   
    No. She has been an LPR for less than 2 years, so it will be another year before she will be eligible to apply for citizenship.
     
    You don't file the two applications together, you just file each one when you are eligible. She may get her unconditional greencard before she will be applying for citizenship (my ROC only took 6 months last year). Or it may take forever, she files the N-400 and ends up being a citizen without ever getting the 10-year greencard.

    When in doubt, check the Early Filing calculator. The date would be the one on the GC, add 3 years from that date, then you can find the early filing window.

    She can't file the N-400 until 3 years (minus 90 days) after her I-485 was approved.  Your timeline indicates the I-485 was approved on 4/30/2019.  It appears she can't file the N-400 until early next year (2022).  
    All you can do is file the I-751 and N-400, each at its appropriate time....then wait.

    I agree with @Lucky Cat, in general, if ones spouse got a conditional GC from a K1 entry, the N400 can be filed about a year after the I751 is filed (assuming the I751 is filed in the proper time window).  You cannot file the two together, but you can file the N400 even if the I751 is still in process.  My wife did that, and she actually had the I751 and N400 decided together and moved right to naturalization without ever receiving a 10yr GC.
     
    Good Luck!

    I'm not sure if USCIS continues to update the "old site" data... but when they are updating it, the "Case Tracker" app proved to be useful in helping to manage our expectations.  Even though applications were being approved with later dates than ours, I was able to look at where my case sat among others and I was able to see that I was in the middle of a whole block of applications that hadn't yet been approved.  If you're getting into a panic, thinking "there's something wrong with my case and that's why it's taking so long", maybe look at your case and how the other cases surrounding it are being treated.
     
    If your case is surrounded by a lot of other "blue" (Received) cases, it probably means that you're in a stack on someone's desk and they jut haven't gotten to it yet.
     
    It's also valuable to remember that there are still people from November who are still waiting - not because their case has a problem, but simply because they haven't gotten to it yet.

    I phoned and got to a live person - but when I asked for our case status (NOA1 12/15), she simply informed me that they (CSC) are working on cases from 12/4 and I can call back in a few weeks if I haven't gotten any update by then.  Grrr.

    All I have to do is look back at this graphic of November's current status... or October (!!) ...to see examples of people who have waited longer than we have... and continue to wait. 
     
    All steps along this road are necessary steps.  This is our process.  This is our story.  I hope that all who are still waiting will remember that these patient days are the price we pay for love, unparalleled.
