Fastest way may be some type of nonimmigrant visa. I would be happy to consult with you on the various options once I know your daughter's educational and work experience background and of what country she is a citizen. You can petition for her to obtain a green card but she will be subject to the quota system as a preference applicant. Her category is FB-1 (unmarried child of a USC over 21) There are three stages to the case - 1) I-130 filed with USCIS office; 2) approved I-130 is sent to national Visa Center which collects money and forms for the Department of State consular offices. 3) Case is shipped for interview and medical Right now there are only visas for cases which were on file prior to January 1, 2005 (or other date depending on her country of birth) so even if step 1 is approved and the case is shipped to NVC it will be held there until your Priority Date is current. Priority Date is established by the date the I-130 is received by USCIS. Until there is a visa nothing will move forward on her case. You should file for citizenship at your soonest opportunity as then her case would be upgraded to immediate relative. If we can assist in the processing of her case, please contact me as indicated below for fees, procedures, and timing.

I will assume for purposes of the question that you and your son are both in the US at this time and that you are sponsoring him for permanent residence. Under that circumstance, your son would have to be in legal immigration status until the time that you file for his I-485 adjustment of status application since you are a permanent resident and not a US citizen. If he is in the country as a visitor, it is a violation of visitor status to attend schooling. The filing of an I-130 petition alone does not insulate you from a potential violation. Once you file for his I-485, the law in essence freezes his status from then on even if he begins to attend schooling.
