Re: immigration
There is no reason why your daughter cannot petition for her siblings and nephew. It will, however, take a long time because she is just a sister and not her mother.
Re: immigration
As a permanent resident you will be able to sponsor your daugther and her son as long as she is not married. The wait time will be approximately 8-9 years or more depending on where you are from. Once you become a citizen, you will be able to upgrade the petition, and that will probably cut a few years off the waiting period.
You should contact an immigration attorney to dicuss the procedures in detail.
