If you are a US citizen, children over the age of 21 and unmarried are only obtaining green cards where the I-130 petition was filed before 9/22/06; if you are a green card holder, the date is 3/22/06. That of course translates out to a waiting time of seven years and more. If possible, you should attempt to have the case reopened. You may wish to consult with an immigration lawyer in this regard.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

You will have to file a new petition for your daugther. How long it will take depends on your own status (which you didn't state).
