You can petition your wife. However, if she came to the US illegally and doesn't have 245 (i) protection, she might not be able to apply for the green card in the U.S.

Your daughter might be a U.S. citizen if you were a U.S. citizen at the time she was born. We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.

Hello:

Assuming the child was under 18 when you got married, you should petition the daughter right away. Interestingly, if she enters the U.S. while under 18 as a lawful permanent resident, under certain circumstances, she will automatically become a U.S. Citizen.
