Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

My daughter came with a visa and overstayed in the country. I sponsored her and I will be getting citizenship soon. Will that speed up the process for her also? Thank you.

It depends on your daughter's age and if she is married or not. If she is unmarried & under 21 by the time you naturalize, then she'll be an immediate relative & can file for adjustment immediately. If she'll be over 21 &/or married, she will be prohibited from adjusting status & will remain in unlawful status.
